What is PLP?

PLP is the Power Learning Program.  Many students learn more 
effectively in 
small group settings.  In small groups, or even individual 
instruction, 
students receive extra attention and much needed remediation. We 
can meet 
the needs of students who are not functioning at grade level in 
one or more 
subjects.  PLP includes students from 1st grade through 8th 
grade.  Students 
come to PLP for just the subject, or subjects, needed, and they 
never miss 
out on any enrichment subjects in the classroom.

Who can go to PLP?

Any student not performing at grade level in Math, English, or 
Reading will 
be referred to the principal and the PLP Department Head.  
Parents will be 
consulted and the child will be evaluated.  Administration, 
classroom 
teacher,PLP Department Head, and parent will consult and 
determine the best 
approach to help the student.  At that point placement may 
occur.  The PLP 
teacher makes regular assessments and consults with the 
classroom teacher, 
principal, and parents to determine if the placement is working.

Why can't my child be in PLP?

Not everyone qualifies for PLP.  A child needs to be functioning 
below grade 
level in Reading, Math, or English according to the 
Woodcock/Johnson test of 
Achievement, have a diagnosed and defined learning disability, 
or have 
major gaps in previously learned material that causes him/her to 
perform 
below grade level expectations.

Who will be teaching my child?

The PLP department is headed by Ron Stafford. Mr. Stafford is 
extremely fortunate to have Mrs. Susie Shuster in complete 
charge of the math portion of PLP.  She is immeasurably 
competent, organized, and she expects the best from your 
children.  She has truly been a blessing to Mr. Stafford,and is 
a treasure for the PLP Department.  We are also blessed, once 
again, to have Mrs. Rita Eldridge helping us.  Last year was her 
first in PLP, and she exceeded our expectations.  Mrs. Eldridge 
is very dedicated and has a great repoirt with her students.  
She is always prepared and makes the most out of the time she 
has with students.  Jan Tanaka will also be teaching some of our 
PLP classes this year, as well as being the art teacher for our 
school.  Mrs. Tanaka has a long and varied background in 
education.  She has a B.A in in English Education and a Learning 
Disabilities Credential from Arizona State University. We will 
be adding aides as needed, but rest assured they will all be 
highly qualified to help your child to accomplish their best.
