We hope to see our Paw Paw area senior citizens at tomorrow's "Fall into Paw Paw Luncheon" at 1:15 p.m. in the H.S. cafeteria!

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
Please schedule your time for Parent / Teacher conferences Thursday, Oct. 13th, or Tuesday, Oct. 18. Please use the attached link or QR code to schedule a meeting with your child's teacher. If you need to see more than one teacher you will need to schedule a separate time for each.
Please remember to add your appointments to your calendar.
A reminder that the Parent Chat originally scheduled for this evening (Thursday, October 6) has been postponed, and a date will be identified and communicated in the next week. Thank you for your interest in Parent Chats and the topic of Self-Efficacy. We look forward to getting to this important topic in the very near future.
Parent / Teacher conferences are fast approaching on Thursday, Oct. 13th and Tuesday, Oct. 18th from 4-7:15pm. Monday morning we will post and email the link to schedule your conferences.
These will be in-person conferences. Any parent who needs to change their conference to a phone or video conference is asked to contact the teacher directly to set that up.
Becoming a HOWLER is a great way to connect with kids! At the same time,
the program fulfils a goal of the PPPS Strategic Plan, which is to foster
connections among our schools and the community to increase authentic
opportunities for students and improve their civic engagement. PPPS is
proud to offer this volunteer opportunity to parents, grandparents, and
guardian volunteers.
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.
