Curriculum Night - Grades K-5 (Plato St. Petersburg)
2025-09-18 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | St. Petersburg, 6725 38th Ave N., St. Petersburg, FL, 33710, United States
To ensure all parents can attend, we are splitting Curriculum Night into two evenings:
Middle School (Grades 6–8)
Date: Thursday, September 11
Time: 6:00–7:00 p.m.
Elementary School (Grades K–5)
Date: Thursday, September 18
Time: 6:00–7:00 p.m.

Why Attend Curriculum Night?
As parents, we’ve all asked our children, “How was school today?” or “What did you learn?”—only to hear the classic response: “Nothing.”
Curriculum Night is your chance to get real answers.
Unlike Open House, this is not a drop-in event. Presentations begin promptly at 6:00 p.m.
Please note: Curriculum Night is for parents only.

What You’ll Learn
You’ll get a firsthand look at:

Classroom tools and resources
Academic and behavior expectations
Assessment methods and goal tracking
Online programs, books, and instructional content
Grading policies and school–home communication
Homework guidelines
Sign-up sheets for formal 1-on-1 conferences

Why It Matters
The time you invest now to understand your child’s learning will pay dividends later.
Curriculum Night strengthens the home–school partnership—and your attendance counts toward volunteer hours.

Great American Teach-In (GATI)
2025-11-12 08:00 - 17:00
The Great American Teach-In (GATI) is a special annual event where parents, family members, and community professionals are invited into our classrooms to share their careers, talents, and life experiences with students. It’s a unique opportunity for students to learn directly from the people who bring real-world knowledge into the school setting, broadening their understanding of professions, industries, hobbies, and skills while connecting classroom learning to everyday life.
Whether you choose to talk about your career path, demonstrate a special skill, or share an area of expertise, your presentation will inspire students to think about their own future goals and possibilities. Presentations can be as simple as a classroom discussion or as interactive as a hands-on activity, the format is completely up to you.
By participating in the Great American Teach-In, you will be making a meaningful impact on our students while highlighting the value of community involvement in education.
Sign up form will be available soon.
We look forward to welcoming you and thank you for helping make this event a memorable experience for our students.

As hard as it is to believe, the holiday season is upon us! For the P.E. Department at Plato Academy St Petersburg, this means it’s almost time for our 11th Annual Jingle Bell Jog!
This event in the past has been a huge success and super fun times for the kiddos simultaneously. This event aims to celebrate the holidays with a fun run while also raising funds to help support the P.E. program. Our last Jingle Bell Jog raised over $5,000 for the P.E. program. We were able to purchase new basketballs, footballs, speakers, scooters, gymnastics mats and so much more. This year, we would love to achieve a goal of raising $6,000.
To continue the growth and innovation of the P.E. department, the funds raised this year will go towards purchasing better sports equipment for middle school, more fitness equipment, equipment packages for elementary and additional storage.

Annual Spring Concert

The Unity Tree is a fun, lighthearted musical for young children, and it has an important message (as most of our musicals do). This time, the message is one of peace and unity. The cats in Catville and the dogs in Dogburg learn how to get along when Puppy and Kitten become friends. Cats and dogs are famous for their conflict and rivalry, even though it isn’t always clear why it even exists. The point is, they learn to let go of the past and to live and work together peacefully. What more valuable lesson could we hope to teach our students through music than one of peace?
