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 2024-2025 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.

Our school district is a place where every student is encouraged to reach their full potential, where innovative teaching practices are embraced, and where we strive to foster an environment of inclusivity, respect, and collaboration. We believe in educating the whole child, nurturing not only their academic growth but also their social, emotional, and physical well-being.

This year, we have set ambitious goals that focus on enhancing student achievement, supporting our teachers, and engaging our families and community partners. We are committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed.

As we embark on this new school year, I encourage you to stay involved and connected with our schools. Whether it’s through attending school events, participating in parent-teacher meetings, or simply staying informed 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 create an enriching and inspiring educational experience that will prepare our students for the challenges and opportunities of the future.

Here’s to a successful and fulfilling school year!
