S-EBT Update: After discussions with DHHS & NDE, it has been determined that this issue was not the result of fraudulent activity. Many of these cards were indeed issued in error and are pre-loaded with DHHS funds, not Pleasanton Public School funds. If you do not wish to use the card, you may cut it up and dispose of it at your discretion. If you have any questions, please reach out to the office. Thank you for your patience as we worked through this issue.

Pleasanton Patrons - There has been some confusion regarding S-EBT cards that were issued and sent in the mail . Please know that we are looking into this with the state and will update you when we have further information. Let us know if you have any questions. Sorry for any confusion!

We ended the last day of school on Monday with a Pep Rally to celebrate our Track teams and the Qualifiers headed to State Track! Our students & staff wish you all the best of luck at Burke in Omaha! Go Bulldogs!

This will take place on Wednesdays from 8am-9am, beginning June 4th and ending July 30th. The goal is to provide basic fundamentals and proper technique for these students. If your child would like to participate, all they need to do is show up. This is a non-mandatory opportunity! You do not need to attend all sessions. Come to the dates that work for you! Gym clothes are recommended. Thanks!

Last Friday, the Elementary School gathered for the first annual "Reading Celebration"! The books that won the Nebraska Golden Sower awards were shared, students were recognized for who checked out the most library books in each class, and the top five most popular library books were announced. We all applauded that 7,250 books were checked out of the Pleasanton School library this year. Amazing!!
We ended the program by handing out the books earned from the Book Blast program. Every student went home with at least one new book for the summer. Thank you to everyone who helped support our Book Blast, and Mrs. Heins for her dedication to our students and always ensuring they have an opportunity to read!






Friday was a fun day for Jonnie, Isaac & Emma as they got to participate in their own "Play Day" and were cheered on by several Elementary students! Way to go!
