Parents and Community Members - WE NEED YOU!!!
- Reading levels of students increased
- Vocabulary development increased at a fast rate
- Student's social and emotional development improved
- Student behavior improved
- Student IQ levels went up over time
- Student chances of success BEYOND high school improved
Therefore as you can see the more we can get involvement from our parents and community the more opportunities our kids are have to be successful in the future. So we owe it to our kids to get involved in their education!
At PPIS we have a number of opportunities for you to be involved. Next Friday (September 29) at 1:30pm and Monday, October 2nd at 9:00am we will be having our Mentor Program Orientation meeting. If you think you'd like to be a part of that program please make plans to attend. The basics of the program are that you will be assigned a student and commit to checking in with them for about 30 minutes every two weeks. We will work around your schedule if you decide to commit to the program. This is a great opportunity to be involved!
Here are some other avenues we have for you to be active on campus:
