Dear Bartow County School System Families,

We would like to share an important update regarding the upcoming 2026–2027 academic year. Beginning next school year, elementary school hours of operation will be from 7:50 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., with school doors opening at 7:00 a.m. for student arrival.

This adjustment will allow us to improve bus transportation logistics and help ensure we can maintain consistent instructional time across all Bartow County schools.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to best serve our students and families.

Revised April lunch menu

April 2026 elementary lunch calendar displaying daily school lunch menus for each weekday, including breakfast items, main entrees, sides, milk options, and designated school break days, with strawberries highlighted as the harvest of the month.
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.

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.
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!

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.
