Phalen Flyer
PLA@George H. Fisher School 93
Greetings PLA Families,
It has been a short but busy week at PLA93. Our kindergarten and first grade scholars visited the Children's Museum of Indianapolis and 2nd - 6th grade scholars that earned a Golden Ticket went to Roller Cave for a skating party. Scholars will be eligible to earn another Golden Ticket prior to our next skating party on March 20th.
All sixth graders have received a JRPLA registration form to complete with their parent. This must be completed and returned in order for them to attend the upcoming tour to the middle school on Friday March 8th. Mark you calendars for March 18, 19, and 20 for JRPLA's Enrollment Fun Fair. This will be an opportunity for parents to learn more about the school as well. Registration is currently open to Phalen scholars but will soon open to the public. Reserve your child's spot at the premiere middle school on the far east side today!
Reminder: Teachers have been reaching out to families that need to attend our Spring Parents in Touch Conferences which will take place on Wednesday, February 28th. Scholars will be completing work at home on this date. If you have not received a time and you would like to meet with your child's teacher, please reach out to them to schedule a time or call the school.
Our community spotlight this week is Warren Adult Continuing Education (ACE). More details can be found below.
If you have questions regarding your child's bus transportation, please call IPS at 317-226-4000.
Sincerely,
Mr. Hendricks
Principal-PLA@93
