On October 6 Paw Paw Public Schools will host its first Parent Chat program for the 2022-23 school year with a focus on our District-wide improvement goal of raising self-efficacy and teacher collective efficacy.
If you are able, we hope you'll join us to learn more about this important goal, how it leads to student success, and how you can help from home.
For those who cannot make it, the session will be recorded and available on the PPPS.org website, in the Parenting Resources area (click on the menu at the top of the homepage.)
The meeting will be held on the Zoom platform, and parents can join through this link: https://bit.ly/3xVX1iS.
A $25 gift card will be raffled as part of the program, and everyone who attends will be entered into a drawing to win one.
Please contact Curriculum Director Corey Harbaugh for more information at corey.harbaugh@ppps.org or (269) 415-5211.
We have several fun activities planned for a week of Homecoming festivities.
We start the celebration with the HoCo Week Kick Off Dance on Saturday, Sept 24, followed by a week of dress up days, the Games Day Assembly for students on Thursday, Friday night's parade and football game, and capping off with the Rising Stars Talent Show on Saturday, Oct 1.
We hope to see all our students participating in the events,!
We look forward to our community joining us for the parade and the game, and supporting our very talented students at the RSTS!
Student Council is planning the Homecoming Parade.
They are in need of several convertibles for the Homecoming Court to ride in the parade.
(An alternate would be a handful of pick up trucks pulling large trailers)
If you are over 21, have a licenced and insured convertible that you would be willing to drive in the parade, please contact Student Council advisor Ann Schultz at ann.schultz@ppps.org.

We are excited to be kicking off the 2022-23 school year! We've had a great start, and it's been energizing to see so many smiling faces in the hallways.
We started the year with a Welcome Back assembly where we welcomed our freshmen and other new students to the Pack, introduced new staff members, and talked about our focus for the year: how connected we are to each other and our community.
As we move into the second week of school, I'm excited to announce an an exciting upcoming event for the students at PPHS- CHALLENGE DAY.
Parents- a letter about this program was sent to the email address we have on file for you, and paperwork with specific dates was given to your child this afternoon. The following link will take you to that letter, in case you didn't receive it in your email.
