Principal Appreciation Day meets Staff Appreciation Week. Thank you everyone for your support.



Last week, our elementary school was awarded the Challenge Recognition Award by KSDE. This award is a magnificent achievement and is reserved for only the best performing schools in the state. Last year, only 7% of the 1305 schools in Kansas received this award and only 16 schools in region 9 received this award this year. This is tremendous!!! Congratulations Pleasanton Elementary on this remarkable accomplishment.



Families of Pleasanton Elementary,
This is a friendly reminder that our Spring Concert and Art Show will begin at 6:00 PM tomorrow evening, with the concert beginning at 6:30. That said, please have students report to their seat in the gym with their teacher by 6:15 PM. We will see you tomorrow evening.

Parents,
In response to some questions from the community regarding the USD 344 dress code, a short letter was sent out to teachers, today, to send home with our students. Some of these letters may not get sent home until tomorrow. The letter included a copy of the USD 344 dress code. Feel free to contact the elementary office if you have any questions. Thank you.
