Student Login ID: pleasant and password: school Every Day CountsEvery Day Counts.....Every Day your child is absent from school puts them at least TWO days behind their classmates. Due to the budget issues facing our district, it is of utmost importance that we explain how absences impact our school, district, and the success of your child. Approximently eighty percent of our district's revenues are from Average Daily attendance (ADA). ADA is based on the number of studentsattending each day. ABSENCES ARE EXPENSIVE during the past 5 months Pleasant Grove has lost -$36,558. PLEASE do not send your student to school ill, sometimes it is clear that your child is sick and needs to stay home we do not encourage sick students to be at school! Check out the medical evidence: Fever, Diarrhea/Vomiting, Pink Eye, A health care provider should assess if there is a concern. Also, Partial Day Attendance: As a condition of apportionment, there must have been intent for the pupil to attend school that day for at least the minimum day. NO Drive-by attendance strategies(i.e. check in a sick student, then they go home) Auditors will check where students are recorded as present for only one or two periods or middle of day for limited period.....Attendance in school makes all the difference...Send your child to school every day! |

Every year, schools across the country participate in an event called Pennies for Patients. Pennies for Patients is a nationwide fundraiser that brings in money for very sick children. These children have suffered physical ailments that most adults wont have to endure in their lifetime, and they need your help. All money donated goes directly to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. During the few weeks that schools run the Pennies for Patients fundraiser, students and their families are encouraged to bring in loose change from home. Any form of monetary donation is accepted, however, and every cent is put to a worthwhile cause. Checks can are accepted, as well, and can be made out to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. With the money that is collected, the society provides education to children about Leukemia, and the importance of finding a cure. The mission of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, is to cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease and Myeloma. It is also used to improve the quality of life of both the patients and their families. If your child or family member is in school, chances are they are collecting money right now. This is such an important cause, please help teach the child in your life the importance of giving to others in need. Send some spare change, or a few extra dollars, and make a difference.
