Dear Paw Paw Families, Household Information Reports were recently mailed to your homes. Information in these reports is utilized for administrative purposes, not to determine eligibility for free meals. Please fill out and submit the report that was mailed to you, or you can fill it out electronically at www.lunchapp.com. This report is critical as it allows PPPS to benefit from various State and Federal programs. Please submit this report as soon as possible. All information on the report submitted is confidential. Without your assistance, the school cannot take advantage of the utilization of available State and Federal Funds. If we can be of any further assistance, please contact Korrie Perkins @ 269-415-5650 or email at korrie.perkins@ppps.org. Note: We are pleased to announce that meals will be offered for free this year thru December 31st to all PPPS students.

Picture Day is Monday, September 21st! Please fill out the picture packet and return it to your student's teacher on or before Monday.

Your child will come home with a black lanyard today! The purpose of this lanyard is for attaching a clean face mask the night before school, so it is ready for the next day. Please remember to label all of your child's belongings, especially their backpacks. It is also helpful to relay any daily pick up changes by 2pm on full days, and 11:45am on half days. This is especially important if you do not receive a response from emails/messages sent to the teacher.
