  • Let's Talk

    Let’s Talk is an interactive technology platform that helps the community share their questions and concerns, suggestions and compliments with èßäÊÓƵ and district leaders.  In keeping with the “Forward Together” theme of our Strategic Plan, communication with families and community members is the cornerstone. We recommend that each èßäÊÓƵ designate a team to handle communications coming from the platform.  

    Let’s Talk! allows us to:

    • Streamline communication by connecting community members directly with PPS èßäÊÓƵs, departments and individuals;

    • Build and maintain trust in our èßäÊÓƵ communities, especially with our Black, Native and extended communities of color; 

    • Identify risks and concerns before they become significant issues;

    • Leverage data to make smarter, better-informed decisions; and 

    • Build a stronger district climate and culture.

  • Site Councils

    Site Councils are an inclusive decision-making body that represents the èßäÊÓƵ community (families, èßäÊÓƵ, community members, teachers, administrators, and other èßäÊÓƵ personnel) and operates under the policy direction and with the approval of the Board of Education. Their primary responsibility is to identify common goals and assist the èßäÊÓƵ leadership team in establishing and monitoring a plan to achieve the goals. 

    • Principal and Teachers contribute background knowledge in instructional practices; 

    • Parents and Community Members provide insight on how effective the èßäÊÓƵ is meeting their children’s needs and meeting their expectations of service; 

    • Students offer an insider perspective on the range and effectiveness of learning opportunities, èßäÊÓƵ culture and dynamics, and their educational experience; and

    • School Personnel such as counselors, instructional aides and clerical staff can share insights on how the èßäÊÓƵ can function to support student learning.
