Letter from the Principal
Greetings PPA students, families, and community,
I want to share my utmost gratitude for all of your support these past few weeks. Scholars have completed their first round of workshops and are moving on to round two. Scholars should be able to explain their schedule for the next five weeks.
Below you will find many updates and a wealth of information about PPA and how to order PPA gear.
I look forward to working with you this school year in support of your scholar's academic journey!!
Take care,
Ms. Sconiers
Whose new at PPA
We would like to welcome our new JAG Career Specialist Ariel Weatherby. She started with us on Monday and is excited to build relationships with the students and support College and Career Readiness.
What’s new at PPA? (As a reminder)
Chromebooks are the students' responsibility. If students/families have multiple Chromebooks issued to them, they will not be able to receive a loaner. This might hinder their academic progress. I encourage students to return any Chromebooks issued by SPASD that are in their possession, no matter how old or the condition of them, to return them to the main office.
