Paw Paw Later Elementary

Like this post to show your admiration for the 2 Paws Service Club at Paw Paw Later Elementary! At their bake sale yesterday, they raised a whopping $407 with proceeds going to UNICEF to benefit the humanitarian needs in Ukraine. The first to hold their fundraiser, PPLE is in competition with the PPMS and PPHS Leo Clubs to see which club can raise the most money! #GameOn #UkraineAid #BuildTogetherPawPaw

Did you know winter sports practices run past 9 p.m. most evenings due to lack of practice space at the high school? One goal of the May 3 bond proposal is to reduce late evening practice times by building a multipurpose addition at the high school. #BuildTogetherPawPaw

Early childhood education helps reduce education equity gaps that exist for children. Shown here, the proposed Early Childhood Education Center would be built north of the Later Elementary building. This new facility would expand our preschool programming, daycare, and before-and-after school care. Visit www.ppps-bond.com for more information. #Maybondproposals

Good evening Elementary Campus families. Due to our snow days this week, Paw Paw Early and Later Elementary will be rescheduling Parent-Teacher Conferences to next Tuesday,February 8th and Wednesday, February 9th from 1pm-7:15pm. There will be half days of school on these days with dismissal at 12:15. We had to cancel all of the previous appointments and we will need parents to create a new conference appointment for each of your children. Sign up for conferences will still be online through a program called School Bookings. You may choose between a Face-to-Face (in-person) conference, a virtual conference, or a phone conference, and you can schedule all of your elementary children at one time. The PTO will be holding a Book Fair in the Later Elementary library for both buildings during conferences. To access the sign up, go to: https://www.schoolbookings.net/code/tuh32 (NEW BOOKING LINK) If you are unable to get online to book your conference, please contact the school office or your child’s teacher. You can also complete your online sign-up in either of the elementary offices. You will need to know your child’s grade & teacher(s) to schedule your conference. At the Later Elementary, you will meet with the 2 teachers who team to teach all of the subjects for that grade level.

Paw Paw Schools will be closed Thursday, February 3, 2022 due to road conditions.

PPPS will be closed today due to worsening driving conditions and the high likelihood of continued heavy snowfall throughout the day. Also, elementary parent-teacher conferences that were scheduled for today are being postponed until next week. More information to follow.

Here's a shout-out to Paul Garrod and The Courier-Leader for helping us spread the word about last night's Bond Campaign Kick-Off Meeting! If you are interested in learning more or participating in the information campaign, please contact rick.reo@ppps.org or call 269-415-5200.

Our dance was originally scheduled for next Saturday, February 5th. In light of the high positivity rates of COVID that we are seeing in our district and our community, we have decided to postpone the dance until Saturday, March 19th. Our original plan was to require masks as a mitigating strategy based on the large crowd that we traditionally have in attendance for this event. While that is still a definite possibility, we wanted to postpone and hopefully see numbers go down over the next month so that we feel more comfortable considering the possibility of a traditional dance with no mask mandate. We appreciate your support and understanding of this decision as we remain committed to the health and safety of our families. For those that paid in advance, please contact your child's school to let them know if you would like a refund by next Friday, February 4th. Otherwise, we will assume that you plan to attend on the rescheduled date.

Everyone is invited to come out tonight for the 1st Annual Quarter Auction fundraiser at Paw Paw Later Elementary! Preventative steps have been taken to keep everyone safe and healthy by promoting social distancing and requiring masks for all guests and volunteers. Hot dogs, chips, drinks, and candy will be available to purchase for dinner, and there will be a bake sale with mouth-watering homemade items for dessert. #ForTheKids
