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!

September is Attendance Awareness Month. A great reminder that every school day matters! 💯
Strong attendance helps students stay connected to their learning, classmates, teachers, and school community.
Families can help build strong attendance habits by establishing consistent morning and bedtime routines, scheduling appointments outside the school day when possible, planning ahead for transportation, and communicating with the school when challenges arise.
Thank you for partnering with us to help students be at school, on time, and ready to learn! 🤝
