PLA@George H. Fisher School 93
Greetings PLA Families,
Our "Snow-Tacular" event was a blast. Our teachers and staff worked hard to prepare for scholars and everyone had a great time. Classrooms participated in a door decorating contest for Black History Month and winners were selected this week. Check out some of pictures below. We are looking forward to next Friday's Black History School Celebration.
Reminder: No School on Monday, February 20 (President's Day)
Next Friday, February 24, scholars are encouraged to dress up as a black history figure of their choosing, one that was highlighted in their homeroom, or to wear a shirt that represents black pride. If you have any questions, please follow up with your child's teacher.
For the safety of our scholars, PLEASE do not turn around in the middle of the street in front of the school during morning arrival. You may exit the drop-off line by exiting through the school driveway or on Shadeland Ave. Additionally, scholars SHOULD NOT be dropped off in the school's driveway. This is our bus zone. Having cars and students in this area jeopardize their safety.
This week's community resource is Brightwood Community Center. More information can be found below.
Parents of 6th graders, JRPLA visited our school this week and provided scholars with information about middle school. You are encouraged to attend of the enrollment nights coming up in March. Look for the flyer below. Scholars were also given an enrollment form. Secure a spot for you scholar at JRPLA and return this enrollment form to school.
We have updated our Facebook page! Below you can find a QR code that can be scanned in order to follow us. Instagram and Twitter information has been provided as well.
The window for parent input on school ESSER funds has re-opened and available for you to complete a survey. If you previously completed an ESSER survey, it is not necessary for you to do again. The window will remain open until June 24th.
As a reminder, Scouts will take place on the following dates: February 27, March 13, April 17, May 1, and May 15.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mr. Hendricks
