4/13/25: The Cardinal Connection

 

Good Afternoon Pleasant Plains Elementary Families,

 

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Family Engagement session. It was wonderful to meet you in person and share more about the incredible new school that will be ours in just a few short months.

 

One question that came up was about transportation. I’ve scheduled a meeting with the Transportation Department next week to see what preliminary information can be shared. I’ll be sure to pass along any updates in my next newsletter.

 

The Pleasant Plains Elementary PTA needs you!

Upcoming Student Sessions

I will begin holding brief meet-and-greets with students at Apex Friendship, Baucom, and Scotts Ridge. These events are being coordinated with school staff. During the visits, I’ll introduce myself, share information about Pleasant Plains, and answer a few student questions.

 

If your child is not yet aware that they will be attending Pleasant Plains Elementary, please let them know before my visit. Visits will take place the week of April 28th.
