Congratulations Ms. Kuhle!

Our very own Ms. Kuhle has been selected as a Vandal Outstanding Educator! She is being recognized for the impact she has made on students and the field of education.

PPCS is hiring!

We are hiring a part time custodian and we are always looking for substitute teachers. Check out our current openings here.

Important Reminders:

Parent Teacher Check-ins

We will be offering Parent Teacher Check-in’s to all K-8 families on 10/29 and 10/30. Please look for an email from your teacher with opportunities to sign up for a 20 minute time slot for these optional parent teacher check in’s.

Student Directories

Student Directories are available! Student directories are the contact lists for other parents in your student's class. We collected consent and information for the contact list through the Registration form filled out before the school year. If you have any changes to your contact information in the Student Directories, please contact the office.

To get Student Directories, email the office with the grades that you would like and we will send them back to you. These directories are great for scheduling play dates and parties!

Donation Requests

We are currently accepting donations to support our students throughout the school day and to assist families in our school community. If you are able to help, please drop off items at the main office. Thank you for your generosity!

Help us bring Number Corner to 1st and 2nd grade

Our Kindergarteners are already using Number Corner, a hands-on math program that builds number sense, patterns, and problem-solving through daily routines. The results have been strong. Students are engaged, confident, and growing as mathematicians.

Now we want to keep that momentum going. We're raising $1,100 to bring Number Corner to our 1st and 2nd graders, so the learning that starts in Kindergarten can keep building through the primary grades.
