At the end of the month, the students will be challenged to write interesting facts that they learned and will be entered in a drawing to win a fun prize!
Family Engagement Night is coming! Mark your calendars for October 21st from 5-7pm. Bring the family to PLES to play fun learning games, explore community resources, and make new connections with friends as we practice, play, learn, and grow together. Click HERE to RSVP! We hope to see you there!

This week, students focused on being "Bucket Fillers" in the classroom. Check out our classroom matrix for tips on how your child can fill buckets in the classroom. These strategies can also be used at home! See below for ways to mirror our PBIS system at home.
Create PBIS at Home: Focuses on being a "Bucket Filler" across four areas:
Self: Morning/bedtime routines, calm-down tools, positive self-talk.
Others: Giving compliments, active listening, showing empathy.
Home: Household chores and respecting shared spaces.
School: Daily reading and caring for backpacks and school supplies.
Tip: Create a visual 4-column matrix on the fridge or use a token (bucket) jar to celebrate positive actions.
Community Bulletin Board: Explore local activities and clubs on the District Bulletin Board.
