Dear PPS Staff and Families,

We are off to a great start! As I visited schools this week, there were a lot of smiles visible from our students, families, and educators. This past Wednesday it was all hands on deck, with over 125 central office staff spending the first day of classes distributed at schools across the district, pitching in wherever needed. I was heartened to see how our teachers and administrators so warmly and enthusiastically welcomed students back on Wednesday.
