Hello PLES!
Thank you Mr. McCool, Mr. Holden, and Mr. Inagaki for being our Watch D.O.G.S. today!
On Tuesday, PLES conducted a lockdown drill. Students did an excellent job following directions and moving to a safe space in their rooms.
Our school is participating in a creative fundraiser with Art to Remember that allows you to purchase keepsake products customized with your child’s art. There are over 50 products and many are less than $15. These make great gifts and a percentage of every purchase goes right back to our school. Go to ArttoRemember.com and enter the online order code shown on your child’s order form or search for your child's artwork. The deadline to order is APRIL 13th. Have fun shopping!
Starting in the 23-24 school year, Penn London will serve students in kindergarten and first grade. AGIS will serve students in grades 2-5 and the middle school will serve grades 6-8. As part of the district’s grade level realignment, first and second grade students will be transitioning to AGIS next year.
To aide in the transition to AGIS, first and second grade students will have opportunities during the rest of this school year to go to AGIS, meet the principals, and tour the school. There will also be an information session for parents and caregivers. Please see the flyer below.
Report Cards for trimester 2 will be available on Thursday, March 30th.
Remember there is no school for students on 4/6, 4/7, and 4/10.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Learning Spotlight
Mr. Rob Swanson, local professional musician, visits PLES every year as an Artist in Residence for 3 days during March to celebrate Music in Ours Schools month. In honor of Mr. Rob's 20th year at PLES, he worked with all grade levels and took the students back in time to the Renaissance era. Students were introduced to the music of the time and participated in making music through song, instruments and movement. The lessons culminated in a 'concert' performed today with Mr. Rob, several of his colleagues and all of the students making music together!
PBIS and Bucket Filling
As warmer weather arrives, now is the perfect time to review expected bus behaviors with your student. On the bus, students are expected to remain seated at ALL times, keep their hands/feet/body to themselves, be at a volume 1 or 2, use kind words and listen to the bus driver. We appreciate you reviewing these expectations with your student to ensure a safe and pleasant bus ride for all!
