Our programs
Community Connections
Community Connections are essential and strengthen the bridge between the community, schools and families. They inform, empower, and unite families, educators, and the community. They also help our community understand the challenges facing public schools and how they can use their voice to advocate for equitable resources and strong support systems. PPS-PC works to ensure every child is seen, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
