Greetings Plumb Community, 

October is here! October is one of my favorite months on the school campus! We are all hitting our stride and things are moving along at a great pace! I am excited about the learning and progress that will take place this month.

September was an amazing month at Plumb Elementary! We had many family engagement activities, staff and scholars are in the groove of teaching and learning. During September scholars took their fall MAP tests and based on this data teachers are continuing to plan and implement strategies to support the needs of each student.

I am excited to announce that Plumb Elementary is a PBIS Gold School. Based on our PBIS (Positive Behavior Support) plans we have been recognized at the Gold Level! Please talk to your child about the positive initiatives that take place at Plumb, for example, Circles, Proud Pelicans, Pelican Tickets and much more.

The month of October will be very busy and the learning will be exciting. ELA adventures will engage scholars in nonfiction reading and writing. In science scholars are focusing on Earth science in grades 1-5 and our Kindergarten scholars will begin to explore physical science. Math has a focus on numbers and operations. Teachers will be working to increase number sense, fluency and the operations of solving math word problems.

Do you wonder what your scholar can do at home? Scholars in grades 3-5 have access to PLP (Personalized Learning Pathways) Scholars can access PLP from their clever page. The assignments in PLP are specifically aligned to where the students are in relation to the standards they are learning. Please support your scholar in accessing and growing academically using the PLP.
