Our elementary students had a great time learning important fire safety tips and meeting some of the local heroes who help keep our community safe.

A huge thank you to our local firefighters for visiting our schools, sharing their knowledge, and helping our students learn what to do in an emergency. We are so grateful for the time, care, and commitment you give to our students and community!

A teacher can be the person who sees a student’s potential before they see it themselves. The person who offers encouragement on a hard day, celebrates the small victories, sparks a love of learning, and leaves a lasting impact that reaches far beyond the classroom.

This World Teachers’ Day, we are celebrating every teacher across PWSSD who shows up each day with heart, purpose, patience, and a belief in our students.

To our teachers, thank you for believing in our students, investing in their futures, and being such an important part of their journey!

It's National School Backpack Awareness Day! 🎒

Choosing the right backpack and wearing it correctly can go a long way toward keeping students comfortable and injury-free. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

✅ Use both strapssingle-shoulder carrying puts uneven strain on the body
✅ Keep the total load to 10-15% of your child's body weight
✅ Pack heavier items closest to the back
✅ Straps should be snug but not too tight
✅ Regularly remove items that do not need to be there
