Pleasant Run Families:
I would like to personally say "Thank You" to the First Responders that stopped by Pleasant Run today for lunch. Our students really enjoyed getting to know you and we appreciate everything you do to help keep us safe! We hope you will join us again on Friday, December 6th between 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM.
It was great to see so many families attend our Trunk or Treat event that took place on Wednesday. We had over 450 stop by Pleasant Run! We look forward to seeing everyone at Butterball Bingo which will take place on Thursday, November 14th.
In order to better protect our students, visitors and staff, all visitors will be required to show a valid, government-issued ID when visiting Pleasant Run Elementary. We thank you for your cooperation in advance.
This fall, MSD of Warren Township will be creating a comprehensive strategic plan based on community input that will ensure all students and staff have the conditions necessary to develop and apply Journey of a Graduate (JoG) skills and dispositions. The Journey of a Graduate skills are a set of 6 skills and dispositions that have been identified by our community needed for success in and out of school. The JoG skills are Critical Thinking, Citizenship, Communication, Collaboration, Content Knowledge, and Resilience. These JoG skills will serve as the foundation of the district strategic plan.
One way the district will capture community input is through an online survey. Linked below is a short survey that will ask questions around our strengths as a district and help us identify areas for improvement.

On another note, Warren's High Ability Program is designed to meet the unique academic needs of gifted and talented students. The curriculum in these classes is differentiated and faster paced and students will be working above grade level if they qualify. As a district, we look at all students in grades 1, 4, 6 and 8 to see if they qualify for the following school year based on eligibility criteria. Parent recommendations are considered along with achievement scores when determining placement in high ability. More detailed identification information can be found here. If you would like to complete a recommendation for the broad based planning committee to consider you can do so here 2020-2021 High Ability Parent Recommendation Form The parent recommendation form will be open until January 31, 2020.
I appreciate your support and ask that you reach out with any questions.
Have a great weekend!

Principal
