Hello Raiders!
💯 We have back-to-back shortened weeks due to the Easter holiday, but we still need our students here everyday! To increase attendance, we've started a new challenge:
Students have been given a bracelet. Each week that they are in school every day, they can earn a jibbitz charm for their bracelet (think: Crocs charms). Every 3 weeks, students who have earned 3 charms (100% attendance) will also earn a special grade-level reward.
*Note: Replacement bracelets or jibbitz will not be issued; however, teachers will be keeping track of how many each student has received.
🏫 On Monday, 8th grade will be going to Woodruff Career & Technical Center.
🎵 On Tuesday, select students will be performing downtown for the Gerald M. Brookhart Arts in Education Spring Celebration. Permission slips were sent home last week.
📣 On Wednesday, the Manual Cheer coaches will be here 2:45-4:30 p.m. for any 8th graders interested in trying out for the team. Students need a ride home afterwards.
🥧 On Thursday, we have our annual PIE A TEACHER assembly. Since we've returned from Spring Break, students have been earning tickets for good behavior. They use those tickets to vote for the staff member they would most like to pie in the face. The "winning" staff member on each team will be pied in the face by a student who voted for them.
📅 Please see the attached graphic for a full breakdown of this week's events, sports, and activities.

✨ Today is School Librarian Appreciation Day—and we think PPS school librarians are one for the books! ✨
From helping students check out their next great read to creating a space where knowledge thrives, our librarians make every school a novel place to learn! Thank you!
Our Future Teachers Club got some field experience at Dr. Maude A. Sanders.
🌟 Thank you to our REMARKABLE PPS Paraprofessionals! 🌟
Your dedication does not go unnoticed. Whether you're offering a helping hand, providing support, or uplifting students each day, you make a world of difference in our schools!
Happy Paraprofessional Appreciation Day!
Our Student Council members did a quick schoolyard cleanup before Spring Break!
Hello Raiders!
Just a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL these next two weeks!
This would be a great time to wash your lunch boxes and backpacks.
Also, if you find your student has outgrown their uniforms, please consider donating them to our school. We frequently have students who need a change of clothes, and our stash is running low.
Enjoy your break! Have fun and be safe!
