Plantation Park Elementary School

We have some POPping good things going on at PPE! 🏀Mrs. Simmons’ class won the March Madness attendance bracket, more bikes were given away, and Easter baskets were awarded too! Huge shout out to Coach Moore and his BPCC men's basketball team for spending time with Mrs. Simmons class to celebrate! Also, huge shout out to Mrs. Kimmie Smith for the Easter baskets!! 🥶If your child is at school every day in April, they will earn Popsicles with the Principals, which includes extra recess, popsicles, and free dress. 😄If your child has perfect attendance from May 1–15, they will get to participate in dunking Mrs. Stroud and Mrs. Modisette in the dunking tank! ❤️As we head into April and May, help us finish the year strong. Please make sure your child is present each day so they can be successful on end-of-year tests and be ready for next year. 📣Parents, you are doing an amazing job getting your children to school, and our attendance numbers are moving in the right direction. One area we still need to grow is tardies. Please make sure your child arrives before 8:10 and stays the entire day. Thank you so much for all you do!!

We hope you have a happy Easter break! 🐣🌷PPE Easter hunts are always full of joy!! We even love our staff egg hunt! A big thank you to Asbury and Open Roads for making our student egg hunts possible! 🐰🥚 Reminder: School is closed Friday, 4/3 and Monday, 4/6. We’ll see everyone back on Tuesday at 7:50!!! ❤️💙

PPE 3rd grade: Parents, please make sure your child is on time today and tomorrow for their DIBELS end of the year test!! Please encourage them to do their best! Any student scoring well below will have to retest the last week of May.

We have some exciting things coming up in April and May, including end-of-year testing! It is so important that your child is at school every single day so they can finish the year strong and do their absolute best. Please make sure your child arrives on time and avoids early checkouts as we head into these important weeks. If any updates or changes are made, we will keep this post updated. All testing dates are highlighted in pink. Also, please help your child be successful by ensuring they get plenty of sleep, arrive at school by 8:05 for breakfast, and ready to learn each day. Let’s finish the year strong, Ponies! 🐴✨
