Sign Up to Volunteer
We are super excited to announce that the volunteer form has become electronic across all schools in PLSD. This means that the paper forms that have been used in the past will no longer be used to sign up to be a volunteer. You can easily sign up to be a volunteer right now by using the QR code below or the link provided. If you have been a volunteer in the past, you must sign up again. Volunteer approvals are only good for the school year in which you signed up.

Parents on Positivity Patrol Become a PoPP!
Parents on Positivity Patrol (PoPP) is a volunteer program that brings more caring adults into our schools to support students and staff. Parent volunteers play a vital role in education—not only as valuable resources for teachers but also as role models who show students that school is important and worth their time and effort.
Through PoPP, parents have the opportunity to actively engage in the schools their children attend, fostering a strong sense of community. By spreading encouragement and building positive relationships, PoPP volunteers help create a welcoming and supportive environment for all.
Join PoPP today and be a catalyst for change. Together, we’ll shape a brighter future—one uplifting interaction at a time.

Counselor's Corner
3rd and 4th grade OST testing is quickly approaching! Here are some helpful tips to help support your student!
On Friday March 28th we will be hosting a SEL day for all students. A SEL day is where for the entire school day students engage in engaging lessons and activities all related to social-emotional learning for the entire school day. For our first SEL day at SCE we will be focusing on the topic of Safety. Students will be engaging in developmentally appropriate lessons and activities on personal safety, emotional safety, community helpers that help to keep us safe, how to handle peer pressure, and more!
During this day every student will be receiving a 30 minute safe touch lesson per OH SB 288. Please review the letter attached. If you do not want your child to participate in the 30 minute lesson, please reach out to your school counselor at courtney_rizek@plsd.us by Friday March 21st.
Character Strong - Courage
For the month of March we are focusing on the character trait, courage. Courage is choosing what is helpful, right, and kind even when it's hard and scary.
