In October, we're celebrating National Principals Month!

This morning, principals from across PCSSD gathered at Central Office for their regular monthly meeting and were surprised with a special "PCSSD Principal Fuel Station" featuring encouraging messages and healthy snacks to kick off the month-long celebration.

Throughout October, we'll be highlighting the outstanding leaders who serve our schools each day. Join us in thanking our hardworking principals for their dedication to students, staff, and the broader PCSSD community.

Shout of to Ms. Shuptrine's fourth grade math class using AVID strategies! These students used "think, pair, share" as well as "inquiry and collaboration."

Picture Day is coming.

Get ready to celebrate AVID Wednesday by wearing your AVID shirt, college gear, or career wear tomorrow!

AVID builds college- and career-ready students at every grade level. Take some time to read how some PCSSD students say AVID is making a difference in their education. #ExpectBelieveSucceed

Good morning!

We are six weeks into the school year, and it is off to a great start! We just wanted to send out a few quick reminders:

During afternoon dismissal, please make sure you pull all the way up and do not leave gaps between cars. When gaps are left, the line backs up onto Bamboo, which causes traffic issues.

If you have a grandparent or another family member picking up your child, please make sure they are aware of our dismissal procedures.

For students’ safety, please remember that students need to wear closed-toe shoes to school.

Thank you for helping us keep dismissal running smoothly and, most importantly, keeping our students safe!

Can we reach all 50 states? Share your fundraising page with family and friends near and far to help us fill the map. Every new state brings our school closer to completing the 50 State Challenge and spreading KINDNESS across the country! #KindnessFundraiser #RaisingKindness

This Friday, we will celebrate AVID Day, joining schools across the country in recognizing the impact of educators and students working together to expand access and opportunity. At Pulaski County Special School District, AVID strengthens skills like critical thinking, organization, collaboration, and self-advocacy, helping students prepare for college, careers, and beyond. We are proud of the growth we see every day and grateful for the shared commitment that makes it possible. #MyAVIDWhy #ExpectBelieveSucceed
