PCSSD is officially a Purple Star School District! Last night, district and school leaders accepted the banner recognizing that every PCSSD school now meets the state’s highest standard for supporting military‑connected students. #PCSSDproud #ServeAll

A group of PCSSD leaders and school liaisons stand together indoors holding a large purple banner that reads “Purple Star School District.” Behind them is a wall with the Pulaski County Special School District seal. A quote from Terri Williams appears on the image, along with a button labeled “Find Out More.”

The Pulaski County Special School District Board of Education approved an $11 million construction project for College Station Elementary. With construction starting this month, the on-site storm shelter that had often been used by local residents during heavy thunderstorms or tornadic activity will not be available. While we know the community has depended on this building during storms, the site will not be safe for the public during construction. The College Station construction project is expected to be completed by April 2027.

🎓 AVID Wednesday Spotlight: WICOR in Action! ✏️📚

The foundation of AVID techniques is the WICOR framework — Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading — and it was on full display at Sylvan Hills High School.

In Mrs. Bridges’ history class, students explored industrialization and its impact on countries worldwide. After reading about the topic in class, they dug deeper through research, organized their findings into visual models, collaborated on large‑scale posters, and used inquiry to understand how global events shaped the modern world.

👕 Don’t forget to wear your college or career shirt tomorrow and celebrate the strategies that help our scholars think critically and dream big.

It’s National School Breakfast Week, and you don't have to try green eggs and ham like Mrs. Neal's class. 🍳 Breakfast is FREE for every single student in PCSSD starting this school year!

According to the School Nutrition Association, students who eat breakfast are more likely to:
📈 Reach higher achievement levels in reading and math
📝 Score higher on standardized tests
🎯 Have better concentration and memory
🏃‍♂️ Maintain a healthy weight and stay alert

We are proud to fuel our students' minds and bodies! Way to go, Mrs. Neal and Sherwood Elementary, for this fun memory. #PCSSDProud #ServeAll #NationalSchoolBreakfastWeek #ReadAcrossAmerica

PCSSD is aware of the concerns being raised by Lifetouch. PCSSD had an agreement in place prior to all of this new information being released, and the process for providing all school photos had already begun. PCSSD is currently reviewing for potential changes with the agreement, and the district will be considering other options for the next school year.
