WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!
PLA@103 is excited to welcome our scholars back for the 2023-2024 school year! It was so great to see all of our scholars yesterday and today! What a great two days we had this week! Please read on for important PLA@103 news and information.
Parents/families, please communicate with your child's teacher and let them know your most up-to-date phone number and email address so we can keep you informed and in case of an emergency.
Please read the information below regarding arrival and dismissal procedures.
ARRIVAL Procedures
We MUST keep our scholars safe and we need your help doing it.
Please note- bus riders should be prepared for their bus to arrive 20 minutes before or after the stated pick-up/drop-off time.
Doors open at 7:20am. DO NOT drop off your scholar (or have them walk to school) any earlier than 7:20am.
What we need from you:
* please only drop off on the circle drive.
* do not drop off where your scholar needs to cross the street. This is an unsafe practice.
* in the drop off line, please stay in line. Do not cut line to drop off your scholar. Scholars crossing the parking lot is very unsafe.
* please encourage your scholar to exit the car quickly so we may keep the line moving.
* please keep your speed at a safe level
* please pull up as far as possible. We have staff standing on the circle drive to direct traffic. When they motion to you to pull up, please pull up as far as possible.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO KEEP ALL SCHOLARS SAFE.
