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.
