Thursday night was exciting and emotional for some PCSD parents! Dozens of parents who are in the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program graduated after 24 weeks of study! We are so proud of these parents for attending weekly classes and studying hard to improve their English-speaking skills to make sure they can communicate, not only with teachers and administrators, but also in their everyday lives. We are thankful to be partnered with the OLA Language School to provide this service to our non-English-speaking community. We appreciate all the Principals, District Leaders, ESL Teachers and PCSD ESOL Teachers who came to show support to their students and their parents. Congratulations to all of our adult Paulding Co ESOL graduates! More photos available on PCSD Facebook page linked below.

Thursday, April 18th was a special day for some very special PCSD students! The Paulding County Special Olympics annual Track and Field event was held at Paulding County High School. Dozens of PCSD Exceptional Students, their families, teachers, volunteers, student volunteers, school safety & security, school leaders, District leaders, local law enforcement, fire fighters and event sponsors had a great time. It was a beautiful day, there was plenty of laughter, some dancing, friendly competition and fun! Click the link to the PCSD Facebook page below to see more photos from this incredible day. Enjoy, and if you know any of these Exceptional Students, leave them a comment to let them know how awesome and brave they really are!!
