Dear Students, Parents, Educators, and Community Members:

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to the Paris Special School District for the 2025–2026 school year. As the Director of Schools, I am honored to lead a community of dedicated educators, supportive families, and bright, ambitious students who are all committed to excellence in education.

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.
  • Excellence – We encourage all to strive for their very best, both in and out of the classroom.

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.

Here’s to a successful and fulfilling 2025–2026 school year—let’s always SCORE with PSSD!
