Hello PLES!


Thank you Mr. Luber and Mr. Byrnes for being our Watch D.O.G.S. today!


March is a busy month for PLES! We are celebrating Youth Art Month and the iguanas look great! Next week is Read Across America Week. Check out the image below for the daily happenings. Conference sign ups open on Monday, 3/6 and Multicultural Night is Friday, 3/10. So many events and that is just the first half of March!


Conferences will be Wednesday, 3/15 from 4:30-7:30 and Thursday, 3/16 from 12:30-3:30 and 4:30-7:30. You can access the sign ups via our website and conferences can be held in person or virtually. Please note there will be no school for students on 3/15, 3/16, and 3/17.


The PTA is looking for donations of plastic bags for the Book Fair. This is a great opportunity to get started on some spring cleaning!


Have a great weekend!

Learning Spotlight

Students in Miss Lewin's second grade class have been hard at work publishing their nonfiction animal reports! Students picked an animal that interests them, researched their animal, and worked through the writing process to create their final copies. Some of the animals that students picked were axolotls, red pandas, great white sharks, golden retrievers, alligators and more! Students included nonfiction text features, such as a table of contents, headings, illustrations and captions in their final copies. Students will share their published animal reports with their classmates during Room 115's Writing Celebration!

PBIS and Bucket Filling

Today was a fantastic day at PLES with students celebrating earning over 12,000 bucket bucks in February with a show during lunch! The students loved it! Our first graders will be setting our goal and reward for March. We can’t wait to see what they choose!
