Dear PPS Community,

Welcome back to school! The start of a new school year is always exciting – a chance to reconnect with friends, meet new people, and begin building the relationships that will make our school communities vibrant and strong. Our youngest students will start their educational careers over the next two weeks – kindergarteners on September 5 and preschoolers on September 11.

Students will experience engaging teaching and learning and a range of wonderful activities. Our student athletes will be practicing and getting ready for their first games, our performing arts students will be rehearsing, and our CTE students will be engaged in a lot of hands-on learning.

We are excited about everything the year ahead has in store for our students! Over the year, we’ll be in touch to celebrate their accomplishments, share key information, and provide critical updates.

We know our students are brilliant, our educators are amazing, our school leaders are steady, and everyone on Team PPS keeps the success of our students at the heart of their work.

On behalf of the Board of Education and district leaders at PPS, our best wishes for a positive and joyful start to your school year!

Sincerely,

Guadalupe Guerrero
Superintendent
