Preparing for
Back to School Night
PLA takes pride with our scholars, families, and staff. We want EVERY child to feel safe and treasured as they walk down the halls, sit in classrooms, and learn along side their peers. This section will provide you with expectations and resources for successfully launching a school in the PLA Network!
Hosting a Successful
Back to School night
Every school should provide an opportunity for families to come to the school and learn about what they can expect during this next school year. This would be a chance to learn about:
- The Leadership Team and Staff
- Who We Are and What to Expect
- How We Will Work Together
- Academic Program Expectations
- Attendance Policy
- Extra-curricular Program Expectations
- Rewards and Celebrations
- Operations and Logistics
- School-wide Policies
- Important Dates to Remember for the Year
- Meet the Teachers and Visit the Classrooms
- Social Hour
