Letter from the Principal
Greetings PPA students, parents/caregivers, staff, and community,
We are well into the fourth quarter of the school year, time has really flown by. We are preparing for end of the year events, prom, and graduation. With that being said many students are working hard to complete their artifacts to close out the year. Students are working to engage in learning activities and thinking about the next school year. There is so much positivity going on.
As well, summer school information for PPA will be coming out soon. Please fill out this summer school interest google form to express your interest.
Students are invited to the Determination to Succeed Workshops.
Take care,
Ms. Sconiers
Home Construction
While some students continue working on their miniature model houses, we’ve also started building a life size house out of cardboard! So far we have 2 walls completed with a window and will soon be adding the additional walls before starting on the roof. Students are learning life skills AND geometry skills!

Solar Energy with Mary
STEM in ACTION! We are learning how to use the tools of the solar system installation trade! We used a Pyranometer to measure sunlight and will be testing solar panels next week (please let us have some more sunny days!) to see how much energy they collect in different conditions. The overall goal is to design a solar photovoltaic system for a location in Sun Prairie and calculate how much energy savings it will produce.
Bus Information
Reminders For Morning Bus Riders
As cold and snowy weather is upon us, here are a few reminders for students riding the bus in the mornings:
Arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled pick up time.
Wait on the sidewalk or close to the curb if there aren’t sidewalks. Stay out of the road and others’ yards.
Don’t cross the road until the driver signals and the bus comes to a complete stop before attempting to board.
Students must have their bus tag with them when riding the bus. Replacement bus tags can be picked up at the school. A photo of the bus tag on their cell phone is acceptable. Students may be denied if they don’t have a bus tag and the driver doesn’t recognize them.

Recordatorios para los que viajan en autobús por la mañana
Debido a que el clima frío y nevada se avecina, aquí hay algunos recordatorios para los estudiantes que viajan en autobús por la mañana:
llegue a la parada de autobús al menos 5 minutos antes de la hora programada de recogida.
espere en la acera o cerca de la acera si no hay aceras. Manténgase fuera de la carretera y de los patios de los demás.
no cruce la calle hasta que el conductor haga la señal y el autobús se detenga por completo antes de intentar abordar.
Los estudiantes deben tener su etiqueta de autobús con ellos cuando viajen en el autobús. Las etiquetas de autobús de reemplazo se pueden recoger en la escuela. Se acepta una foto de la etiqueta del autobús en su teléfono celular. Los estudiantes pueden ser negados si no tienen una etiqueta de autobús y el conductor no los reconoce.
