Message From Your Leadership Team
It has been another great week at Plank South! We have been learning about Hispanic Heritage month all week. Ask your kids how to say hello in Spanish! If you have a talent or activity you would like to share with the school to help us celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month please contact us as we would love to partner with families in providing educational experiences for our students.
Now that we are over two weeks into school, classrooms have established incredible communities and students and teachers are making valuable connections with each other daily. Our 4th and 5th graders have begun many of the leadership roles they applied for at the start of the school year and we are grateful for how responsible and accountable they are being. Look for the parent teacher conference sign up link from your child's classroom teacher on 9/25 around 2:30 PM. We hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Warm Regards,
Jen Sullivan (Principal) and Jill Doyle (Assistant Principal)
