PCSD Weekly Notifications
August 8th, 2022
We are delighted to announce the launch of our newest podcast, ‘Sup with the Sup’ where we go behind the scenes of our school district to uncover the real stories and extraordinary individuals who shape the future of education.
Join Wendy Dau, the Superintendent of our school district, as she connects with the backbone of our educational community – the incredible employees who work tirelessly to nurture young minds.
In each episode, you’ll get an exclusive peek into the lives of teachers, administrators, counselors, support staff, and more. We’ll celebrate their dedication, hear their personal journeys, and gain insights into the challenges they overcome daily to create a nurturing learning environment for our students.
This podcast is not just for educators or parents; it’s for everyone who cares about education’s future. By delving into the personal experiences of these remarkable individuals, we hope to foster a deeper appreciation for the essential work they do.
Join us on ‘Sup With the Sup’ as we build a stronger sense of community, understanding, and collaboration within our school district. Together, we’ll celebrate the unsung heroes shaping the hearts and minds of our future generations.
The first episode of ‘Sup With the Sup’ is will be available on Spotify, YouTube, and this website on Friday, August 11. Tune in to hear from teachers and admin about how they prepare to start the year out right for the first day of school. See you then!
With the change of seasons and the incoming school year, it’s never been more important to recognize the people of Provo City School District who are our foundation, providing stability, safety, and joy for those who know them. Allison Pacheco, a Special Education Teacher at Centennial Middle School last year, received the Provo Way award in May 2023. She exemplifies the unyielding Provo Way spirit; her ability to advocate and engage students, and other teachers like her, makes Provo a community worth living in year after year.

To provide the best support possible we found it was necessary to change our Apple management software from our current provider, Filewave, to a new provider, JAMF. We are in the process of changing the software on all Apple devices across the district. We appreciate your support as we work through this transition, and will make every effort to keep disruptions at a minimum. See FAQ on the Employee Website.
