At Paris Special School District, we believe that every student can SCORE:

• Safety – We provide a nurturing, secure environment where all children can learn and grow.
• Community – We take pride in our town and work together to make our future brighter.
• Opportunity – We ensure every student is valued and given the chance to succeed.
• Relationships – We recognize the importance of respect, connection, and support for everyone.

This year, our goals center on enhancing student achievement, supporting our teachers, and strengthening our partnerships with families and community members. Together, we will continue to create a safe, supportive, and enriching learning environment where every child feels valued and empowered.

I encourage you to stay connected with our schools through events, parent-teacher meetings, and regular communication about your child’s progress. Your partnership is vital to our success.

Thank you for entrusting us with the education of your children. Together, we will build an inspiring educational experience that prepares our students for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
