PLA Polos & Free / Reduced Lunch Applications

Parents...please remember to complete and return the Application for Free and Reduced Lunch that was sent home with your child last week. Currently, we've received a little over half of the applications back and are awaiting the rest. As you know, we currently provide lunch at no extra cost to each student at PLA. We do, however, participate in the Tennessee Department of Education's School Nutrition Program, which requires us to have an application on file for each student. It is very important that you complete the application and return it ASAP.

Also, please remember to give your child's teacher his or her shirt size for PLA Polo shirts that we need to order this week. If your child has one from last year and it's still in good shape (and fits) you need not buy another one. School Polos are required for certain field trips and class outings.

If you have any questions, please contact me at the school @ 931-528-2543, ext. 204.

Thanks!

Mr. Jones

Week 2!

Well, we've survived the first week of school and are moving on to week two! The first few days of the new year were spent getting to know one another and learning the ways of PLA. Now it's time to get ready for a fun-filled educational journey that will take us to new places, introduce us to new things, and show us how to make the most of our explorations! Hang on...it's going to be a wild ride!!!

Parents: New PLA students will need to purchase a PLA Polo to wear on specific field trips and class outings. Parents, please let your child's teacher know what size shirt he or she needs this week. We will be ordering new shirts next Wednesday. The cost of Polo's are $17.00 each. Students who bought PLA Polos last year will not need to buy new ones, unless they've grown and need a larger size. The style and design have not changed.

Attention Students....Make sure you get a good night's sleep Sunday because we want you at your BEST Monday morning! This is going to be an exciting year full of fun and excitement!!! Let's get the year off to a great start!

It's "Back-to-School" Time!!!

I hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer filled with lots of fun and excitement! If your reflections on the past two months leave you saying "Gosh, I wish I'd done (insert your choice activity here) or gone (insert the destination of your choice here) !!!" then get up off the sofa, turn off the video game, and get out there and have some fun! You still have 6 days of summer freedom!!! School at PLA will start Monday, August 10 at 8 am for grades Pre-K through 10 (high school Sophomores). Grades 11 & 12 (Juniors and Seniors) start at 11 am. We will be in session all week! Please note that Putnam County has early dismissal on the 10th and are out the 11th for Inservice. PLA will begin at 8 am on Monday and dismissal will be at regular time, 3 pm. We will be in school the entire week. Do not follow Putnam County's schedule for the first week! We are looking forward to a productive year full of new hands-on learning experiences for all grades! See you Monday morning!
