Pleasant Run Elementary Families:

Our students worked extremely hard this week. Several students began taking their NWEA assessments. NWEA is an assessment that provides our teachers, students and families with a snapshot of a student’s academic progress. Both IN-PERSON and VIRTUAL students will participate in NWEA. Student results will be shared with families during Parent Teacher Conferences on Thursday, October 22, 2020.

The window for K-8 families to request a change from IN-PERSON to VIRTUAL or VIRTUAL to IN-PERSON for the 2nd quarter will be open from Friday, September 11th to Monday, September 21st. The schedule change will officially take place after fall intersession break on Monday, October 19th. This form should only be completed by those who want to change their learning option. If you do not want to change your current learning option, please do not fill out the form: CHANGE REQUEST

Sonny Day Pantry is holding a food and clothing distribution this Saturday, September 12th from 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM. Sonny Day is currently working out of Highlander Park located at 10502 E. 21st Street. Items are available on a first come first serve basis.

The 2020 Census is open until September 30th. The results of the Census help support our communities with financial resources for safety, education, roads, and other public services. The Census can be completed online at my2020census.gov.

We have been asked to help out the Indianapolis Public Library and their strategic planning process. This survey is open for everyone – not just people who use the library! There’s a drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card as an incentive! The survey is due on Sept. 12 and can be found at bit.ly/indypl2020survey

Stay Strong, Stay Awesome, Stay Healthy!

Joining the PTA allows you to meet some great people. PTA functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, to build rapport and discuss issues that are on your mind. You can share ideas, concerns, and experiences to make the school year better for everyone.

The mission of the Pleasant Run Elementary PTA is to act in the interest of the children, to encourage understanding and cooperation between parents and teachers, and to promote programs that benefit the success of children’s learning. The Pleasant Run PTA supports education through active participation and advocacy.

Pleasant Run Elementary has a very active and supportive PTA. We sponsor many fun events throughout the school year. We also provide volunteers for many school events as well as provide support for school programs such as Super Reader, Breakfast with Santa and the annual fund raiser. Please join us for a PTA meeting to see what we’re all about.
