Yesterday at the Paw Paw Middle School staff meeting, teachers and administrators celebrated four years of progress by teachers on the goal of becoming a model PLC school, including work to clarify curriculum and to put resources in place for instruction and intervention. Teacher Beth Covey and Principal Jerry McDaniel shared information about the journey so far, and what comes next as teachers work to improve student outcomes in our middle school.
Congratulations to the Paw Paw Middle School Students-of-the-Month: Brynn Cummings, Dakota Martorell and Kylah Jacobs for being recognized at last night's Board of Education Meeting. Well done! #PackPride #Success #Integrity

Good Afternoon,
Unfortunately at the moment our phone lines are down. We are working to restore them quickly but do not have an estimated restoration time. Emailing building secretaries and principals is the best mode of communication at the moment. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Today, students from the Cedar Street Campus competed in a scavenger hunt called the "Paw Paw Scramble" as a way to get to know the community. This photo is of Mrs. Chandler's team at one of 20 stops in the downtown area. Students were challenged in many areas, such as: creative problem-solving, Paw Paw history and even math! See if you can answer this: Count the number of seats at the Strand Theatre. If the Strand charges $3 per ticket, how much money will the Strand make if 2/3 full? #communityconnections #buildtogetherpaw
