11:20 Dismissal - February 7, 2024

Be Weather Aware
Watch Your Local News
As we continue with winter weather in central Indiana, please be weather aware. If Indianapolis Public Schools delays or cancels, PLA@103 will as well. PLA@103 may also opt to cancel even if IPS is in session. Watch your texts, emails, and local news for delay or cancellation information in the event of extreme cold, ice, or snow.
Important Assessments COMING SOON!
Statewide Standardized Testing COMING SOON!
Please see below for the dates of our statewide IREAD and ILEARN testing. On-time attendance is very important during these assessments so that your scholar can be present to do their personal best on the test. Scholars who are tardy and/or absent will have to make up the test. You can help your scholar do their best on IREAD and ILEARN by:
* ensuring they get a good night's sleep
* providing breakfast at home or having them at school in time to eat breakfast in our cafeteria
* ensuring your scholar arrives at school between 7:20am-7:45am
Car Rider and Walker Dismissal
Attention Parents & Guardians
If your child is a car rider, please get in the car rider line, stay in your car, and give your car rider number to the staff member on the corner.
If your child is a walker, they will be dismissed with walkers.
If your child is a car rider, but you opt to walk to school to walk them home, please call the office before 1:30pm (317-226-4103) to change the way your scholar is expected to go home that day. Otherwise, they will not be called until walkers are dismissed.
