The Rise Up Family Newsletter

Greetings PPA students, families, and community,

As we enter the second month of the 2024 year, I must say I am very fortunate to be the Principal of PPA. I am seeing success, joy, hard work, and dedication in these wonderful scholars. I have enjoyed conversing with caregivers and creating plans for scholars and their academic journey. Staff is working extremely hard to keep students engaged and focused on their next steps. There has been positive energy throughout the PPA Community!

Caregivers please remind scholars that they need to have their Chromebooks everyday and can leave them in the main office.

For scholars that drive, please be mindful of parking lot etiquettes. Speeding is dangerous and students should not drive past the Central Heights playground area during the school times. Students should only come in through the side street off of Commercial Ave. This is extremely important when it comes to safety for all!!!

I want to share some upcoming dates so that you can begin to prepare for these events.

• Feb 16, 2024- 7:30am-11:30am
  

Caregiver Teacher Conference

• ACT- Mar 12, 2024 (11th graders only in the building)

Lastly, any seniors that have been approved for early graduation need to return Chromebooks or speak to Ms. Kathy at 608-834-5503.

Take care,

Ms. Sconiers

Cap and gown order information for SPEHS and SPWHS are available in the office.

Please use this number when calling in a student for an absence, illness or an appointment. We have been seeing a lot of students leave school early without a guardian/caregivers permission. School is excused at 3:20pm.

Last Friday, students spent time in the kitchen cooking a wonderful breakfast for the PPA community. Students and staff enjoyed eating together and sharing shout outs to uplift each other.

Students in the Book Club workshop have been reading and discussing several titles in class. We have worked on analyzing characters, plot, and themes in works of literature. We will be wrapping up this round with a final discussion and presentation next week!
