The Killdeer nesting season is February through June in our area. Please be cautious on our campus whether you are on foot or in your car. As the Killdeer birds are the focus of the PBL for third through fifth grades, it's important to PLES to maintain a safe and respectful habitat for our feathered friends.

Attachmen (1)A Killdeer bird is standing on Georgia red clay in a narrow strip of ground beside a chain‑link fence. The bird has brown wings with touches of orange near the tail, a white belly, and two bold black bands across the upper chest. Small green weeds and patches of moss grow around the bird. A weathered wooden board runs along the left side of the image. The area appears to be a nesting site that has been used previously by a Killdeer, indicated by the disturbed ground and the bird’s protective posture.
SPECIAL BCSS MESSAGE: The Bartow County School System will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, March 16, 2026, due to the possibility of severe weather in the morning. This delay will help ensure road conditions are safe for travel. For those who ride a bus, please add two hours to your usual pick-up time in the morning. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Our school now has a PebbleGo subscription available through October 2026. PebbleGo is a safe, kid‑friendly online database designed especially for early learners. Students can explore short, engaging articles, listen to read‑aloud audio, watch supporting videos, and discover a wide range of topics that build background knowledge and support research skills.
Students received a brief introduction to PebbleGo during each class’s second library visit in January. Your child may enjoy diving into animals, biographies, science, health, and social studies articles and can log on from home.
To log in from home, use the link below:

If your family enjoys optional enrichment activities, there is also a monthly PebbleGo challenge calendar filled with fun learning tasks. Students in third through fifth grades received a bookmark with login information, but if they need another one, ask Mrs. Hughes.
Please feel free to reach out to Beverly Hughes if you have any questions. We’re excited for our students to explore and enjoy this new resource!

On Thursday, February 5, 2026, we celebrate our feathered friends with Chicken Day. Today, students have the opportunity to buy a Chick-fil-A biscuit from our amazing PTCO, who will donate proceeds to the Hen Den. Then, students can pick out a sticker or temporary tattoo for a 50-cent donation to the Hen Den. Students are encouraged to dress as a chicken or don the colors of their favorite hen. Happy Chicken Day!

Hen Den flock: Karen, Felicia, Lucky, Sugar, Fluffy, Lottie, Ginger, Kota, Comfort.’ The background has soft pink and brown tones, and the chickens are pictured in different poses around the text.
Third-grade students recently added 3-D printed grid markers to the campus to improve the identification of Killdeer sightings for the upcoming nesting season that starts in February. Students used a grid overlay of the PLES campus to find locations and used 3-D markers that were designed in Tinkercad. This project is part of the Killdeer PBL.
