Mr. Grice's history class brought the ancient world to life with their Cardboard Roman Construction Project. From engineering amazing aqueducts to crafting the iconic Colosseum, these projects are truly monumental! #PCSSDproud
🎓 AVID Wednesday Spotlight: WICOR in Action! ✏️📚
The foundation of AVID techniques is the WICOR framework — Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading — and it was on full display at Sylvan Hills High School.
In Mrs. Bridges’ history class, students explored industrialization and its impact on countries worldwide. After reading about the topic in class, they dug deeper through research, organized their findings into visual models, collaborated on large‑scale posters, and used inquiry to understand how global events shaped the modern world.
👕 Don’t forget to wear your college or career shirt tomorrow and celebrate the strategies that help our scholars think critically and dream big.

It’s National School Breakfast Week, and you don't have to try green eggs and ham like Mrs. Neal's class. 🍳 Breakfast is FREE for every single student in PCSSD starting this school year!
According to the School Nutrition Association, students who eat breakfast are more likely to:
📈 Reach higher achievement levels in reading and math
📝 Score higher on standardized tests
🎯 Have better concentration and memory
🏃♂️ Maintain a healthy weight and stay alert
We are proud to fuel our students' minds and bodies! Way to go, Mrs. Neal and Sherwood Elementary, for this fun memory. #PCSSDProud #ServeAll #NationalSchoolBreakfastWeek #ReadAcrossAmerica
Our amazing MMS Spanish students in Dr. Franco’s class are welcoming the spring season with curiosity and hands-on learning! In their project " Mi jardín", they not only learned the names of flowers and gardening vocabulary in Spanish, but also practiced the steps and tools needed to plant a seed. Through this project, they engaged in instruction, learning, and doing—watching their seeds grow into beautiful blooms is a wonderful reminder that every small effort can lead to something amazing. 🌸💐
Thank you so much for helping us celebrate our students’ dedication and growth! Go Stingers!!!

PCSSD is aware of the concerns being raised by Lifetouch. PCSSD had an agreement in place prior to all of this new information being released, and the process for providing all school photos had already begun. PCSSD is currently reviewing for potential changes with the agreement, and the district will be considering other options for the next school year.
Students in Ms. Hodges' 7th grade U.S. History class at Maumelle Middle School completed the 30-Second Expert AVID activity. Students became experts on the Boston Massacre and shared it with their partners in 30 seconds or less. Each student then took turns summarizing what they learned from their peer. #AVID #PCSSDproud #ServeAll
