Calendar Updates:
One version of our calendar online was incorrect. We do have school on Monday, February 12.
There is NO SCHOOL on Monday, February 19 - Presidents Day.
Additionally, with the 5 emergency days we have taken - the last day of student attendance is Wednesday, May 29, 2024.
Good morning! We will start at regular time this morning.
Start at 8:00/8:20 - students dismissed at 11:30/11:50.
Dear PLT Families,
I am continuing to monitor weather updates issued by the National Weather Service. There is a chance of continued poor weather conditions that may impact us tomorrow morning. If we are able to start at regular time in the morning, we will continue with our half day student dismissal. If we need to delay the start of school, we would cancel the scheduled early out and have students in school until regular (full day) dismissal time.
In review:
If we start at 8:00/8:20 - students dismissed at 11:30/11:50
If we start at 10:00/10:20 - students dismissed at 3:00/3:20
I appreciate your understanding as we navigate the Midwest weather conditions that have been thrown at us this month.
