Dear Bulldog Families, Students, Staff, and Community,

The start of a new school year is one of the most exciting times in education. Hallways come alive with smiling faces, classrooms are filled with new ideas, and every student has a fresh opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve. Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year at Paris Special School District!

At PSSD, we know great schools are built through teamwork. Our talented teachers and staff are ready to inspire, challenge, and encourage every child, while our families and community continue to play an important role in helping our students succeed. Together, we create an environment where every Bulldog can thrive.

This year, we will continue to focus on what makes our district special by helping every student SCORE:

  • Safety – Creating schools where students feel secure, supported, and ready to learn.
  • Community – Building Bulldog pride through service, involvement, and working together.
  • Opportunity – Opening doors for every student to discover talents, develop skills, and pursue their dreams.
  • Relationships – Strengthening the connections that make our schools feel like family.
  • Excellence – Encouraging continuous growth, perseverance, and a commitment to doing our very best.

Whether your child is walking into school for the very first time or preparing for another exciting year, we are committed to providing meaningful learning experiences that inspire confidence, curiosity, and success. Every lesson, activity, and opportunity is designed to help students become leaders in the classroom and beyond.

Thank you for choosing Paris Special School District and for believing in our mission. Your encouragement, involvement, and support help make our schools stronger each day.

Let’s make the 2026-2027 school year one to remember. Together, we’ll celebrate achievements, overcome challenges, create lasting memories, and continue to show what it means to be Bulldog Strong!
