If you need to sign your student out early, please be aware that PLSD does require all adults to have a photo ID to sign a student out early, along with being listed as a guardian within Infinite Campus. If you are not listed as a guardian within Infinite Campus, we will need to hear from the guardian prior to allowing the student to be dismissed.

Reminder on dismissal locations. Walkers Without students come out Door C which is located by the playground. If parents are waiting to meet students please use sidewalks, we can not cross the bus lot during dismissal. Walker With students are dismissed from Door S which is located in the front right side of the building; parents should meet their students on the sidewalk leading to the door.

If you have any questions please reach out to the office.

Have you submitted your 2026-2027 Annual Update? This is a reminder that the Annual Update is now due.

If you have submitted your Annual Update, please disregard this notice.

What is the Annual Update? Every academic year, parents/guardians are asked to update and submit the required "Back to School Forms" for their currently enrolled student(s). Included are forms such as the Emergency Medical Authorization, Student Handbook Acknowledgement, Device Agreement, Technology Protection Plan and Field Trip Authorization Form, among other release agreements. The process of completing these forms is referred to as the Annual Update.
