Phalen Flyer
PLA@George H. Fisher School 93
Greetings PLA Families,
PLA93 is excited to celebrate Black History Month throughout February! Scholars will be learning about a variety of black Americans that have been leaders and inspired others.
Next Friday, February 9, scholars are encouraged to dress up as a black history figure of their choosing, one that was highlighted in their homeroom, or to wear a shirt that represents black pride. If you have any questions, please follow up with your child's teacher. Scholars have been working in their classes to decorate their doors for our Black History Door Decorating Contest. Be on the lookout for pictures to appear in our newsletter.
Our next family event will take place on Tuesday, February 13th from 4pm-6pm. Come join us for PLA93's Sweetheart Dance! More details below.
I have kept the information about free tutoring that is available for our scholars through Indiana Learns in this week's flyer. More details can be found below.
For the safety of our scholars and staff, please DO NOT turn around in the middle of the street in front of the school during morning arrival. You may exit the drop-off line by exiting through the school driveway or on Shadeland Ave. Additionally, scholars ARE NOT to be dropped off in the school's driveway, crosswalk, or in the bus zone. Having cars and students in this area jeopardizes staff and student safety. All car riders should be unloading in the school driveway (car rider line).
We have already started planning for the 2024-2025 school year. We'd like to hear from you. Please take a moment to complete the intent to return form below.
Reminder: As a reminder, scholars will be dismissed at 11:20 on Wednesday, February 7th. Be sure to check out the Upcoming Dates at the bottom of the page for more early release dates, vacations, and in-session school days.
Our community spotlight this week is Mail Order Medication Pharmacy Services by Rx Outreach. 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
