PLES receives Federal Title I funds to assist students in meeting state achievement standards. Throughout the school year, we will be providing you with important information about this law and your child's education.

Our students focused on being "bucket fillers" at recess this week by sharing, cleaning up, and taking turns. We are so proud of how well they take care of themselves, each other, and our school!

We love the #AGSDpride that our entire school community shows at our Friday night home football games. As a reminder, all family members are expected to sit in the stands to enjoy the game, cheer squad, and marching band. Beginning on Friday, September 18, the “hill” near the home stands will no longer be accessible. Spectators who want to enjoy Kona Ice, can visit the truck by using the gate near concession stand. Thank you for your partnership and support for AG athletics!

Nurse’s Corner

• Spare Clothing: Please keep a spare set of clothes in your child's backpack. If your child borrows clothes from the nurse's office, please wash and return them promptly.

• When to Stay Home: Keep your child home if they feel unwell or have a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea.

• 24-Hour Rule: Students must be symptom- and fever-free (without medication) for 24 hours before returning to school. Please have a backup plan ready in case your child needs to be picked up during the school day.
