Good Morning Blu-Jay Families
The teacher inservice day originally scheduled for Friday, October 18th has been rescheduled to Friday, November 1st, we will now have school as normal with students on October 18th. We apologize for any conflict this change may cause with your schedule. This change was made necessary due to mandatory Kansas Department of Education (KSDE) training that was set after our USD 344 District Calendar was adopted. Reminders will be sent in weeks to come.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Summer School Parents and Families,
I shared with you the incorrect waiver for our trip to Urban Air on June 6th. Please follow the link to fill out the appropriate waiver. Parents who have already filled out the waiver, will also need to fill out the new waiver. Unfortunately, students will not be permitted in the park if the new waiver is not filled out.
New Waiver Link:

Also, please sign and return the letter once the online waiver has been completed. Students will bring these letters home with them after school.
Thank you.
5 days until summer school!!!!
We have an awesome program planned for our Pleasanton students. It will be 16 days of summer fun.
One more helpful reminder about the bowling field trip. Please have children wear socks and know their shoe size. This will allow them to have more bowling time.
Pleasanton Elementary Families, This is a friendly reminder that students in grades 2 - 6 will be going on a bowling field trip tomorrow. A pizza lunch will be provided. If your child would prefer to bring a lunch, they are welcome to do so. Also, please have your child wear their Pleasanton Elementary t-shirts. See you all in the morning.
ATTENTION PARENTS: Due to road construction we have a few elementary students returning late from their field trips today. This will impact bus routes and afternoon release. Bus routes will be running a few minutes behind and some elementary students will be late coming out to meet up with parents and siblings for pick up. Thank you for your patience as we work through our afternoon release procedure.
ATTENTION: JH LEAGUE TRACK MEET
Due to some scheduling conflicts with our timing company caused by Mother Nature, the JH League Track Meet will not begin until 2:00 pm, Monday, April 29, 2024. By making this change, hopefully this will allow things a little more time to dry out.
Due to the weather, our Pleasanton PK-1 field trip has been rerouted from Gunn Park to Fort Cinema. We will still take the students to McDonalds. Feel free to call the elementary office if you have any questions.
This month KSDE recognized Pleasanton Elementary with its distinguished Challenge Award for the 22-23 school year. This is the 2nd straight year PES has received this award.
To celebrate this award, Pleasanton Elementary will party tomorrow afternoon from 1:30 - 2:30 with DJ Kirby. That is right, DJ Kirby will be dropping some beats at our Pleasanton Elementary Party.
We are thankful for this special appearance by DJ Kirby at this very special celebration.
Please give your child a giant hug and let them know you are proud of them for their hard work and achievement. Also, reach out to your teacher and other PES staff and thank them for their tireless efforts to provide them with a top notch education.
Way to go, Pleasanton!!!!
This is a friendly reminder from Pleasanton Elementary. Tomorrow night our students will showcase their art and musical talents in the annual Spring Concert and Art Show. The art exhibit will open at 6:30 in the elementary gym with the concert to follow in the high school gym at 7PM. We hope to seeing you there.
Pleasanton is currently experiencing a power outage, which is estimated to be till approximately 1:45. Pleasanton Schools will remain in class for the duration of this power outage. Students and staff are safe and adapting best of their abilities throughout this time. We will keep you posted with any new information.
