PLA@George H. Fisher School 93
Greetings PLA Families,
Scholars have settled back into a groove after our short week last week. We ended the second quarter officially today. It's hard to believe that we are officially half-way through the school year. Scholars will be receiving their report cards this Wednesday, January 18th. If your child does not receive one, please reach out to their teacher.
We have heard from some of you that you have been unable to contact the school via phone. Upon inspection of the system, we found that our voicemail is no longer functioning properly. I have placed a work order to have this fixed. In the future, if you are unable to contact the school, you can always email pla93@phalenacademies.org to relay your communication. We are sorry for the inconvenience and hope to have our phone system working properly soon.
As a reminder, our dismissal begins at 2:15pm on our regular school days. The office will close to visitors at 2:00pm. If you need to change your child's transportation please contact Ms. Winfield, our office manager, at 317-226-4293 or rwinfield@phalenacademies.org by 1:30pm to make a change. All scholars should be picked up by 2:45pm. Parents picking up scholars after 2:45 will need to come in to the office to sign them out.
Join us for the first family event in 2023 on January 18th. More information about Pastries with Parents can be found below. Please be sure to use the link to register. We want to be sure we order enough donuts for everyone that plans on attending. All families that register will receive a ticket for entry. Tickets will be distributed to scholars on Tuesday, January 17th.
This week's community resource is Center for Leadership Development. More information can be found below.
For those scholars participating in Scouts, the next planned meeting for 2023 will be on January 30th.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mr. Hendricks
Principal-PLA@93
