Phalen Flyer
PLA@George H. Fisher School 93
Greetings PLA Families,
Our teachers and scholars have had a fun week leading up to our winter break. I hope that all of you are able to spend some time with your family and loved ones over the course of the next two weeks. Be safe and we look forward to seeing all of our scholars return in 2023.
Join us for the first family event in 2023 on January 18th. More information about Pastries with Parents can be found below.
I have kept the Information about our severe weather procedures in this week's flyer.
This week's community resource is CAFE's Pull Up Pantry. More information can be found below.
Parents are invited to complete our ESSER Survey below. The window closes on December 23, 2022. There is still time to provide your feedback on how you would like to see our federal dollars spent.
For those scholars participating in Scouts, the next planned meeting for 2023 will be on January 30th.
Have a great weekend and a safe and relaxing winter break.
Sincerely,
Mr. Hendricks
Principal-PLA@93

Parent ESSER Survey
Parents, we need your help. PLA93 has received money from the federal government and we would appreciate your input as to how you would like this money spent. ESSER is a stimulus and emergency COVID relief funding stream authorized as part of the CRRSA Act enacted on December 27, 2020. This additional funding stream is intended to help states and school districts safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools and address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the nation’s students. We are working to hear the voice of our stakeholders when determining use of funds. The allocations are only designated for very specific areas. Please provide us your feedback no later than December 23, 2022 using the following link: https://www.phalenacademies.org/essersurvey
