Principal's Message
In the midst of this wildfire, I want to thank the thousands of firefighters who are protecting our community of Pollock Pines. With each day that passes, I feel more optimistic that we will soon be back together for our second "First Day of School".
On a daily basis I am overwhelmed by the organizations, businesses and volunteers that are stepping up to support the evacuees. The Placerville Boys and Girls Club has welcomed many of our students into their clubhouse. I appreciate that many of our students have this opportunity to be with other children and classmates during this difficult time I have lost count of the surrounding restaurants who are feeding displaced families for free. The evacuation centers are getting daily donations to alleviate some of the stress our families are feeling. All these acts of kindness prove that El Dorado County is a special place to call home.
As containment grows, please regularly check our district web page at ppesd.org or visit our Pollock Pines Elementary School District Facebook Page for school updates. Continue to support one another and stay safe and well.
Sincerely,
Kim Little.
