The PPA staff hopes you’re having a wonderful summer vacation! In order to be well prepared for August, please be sure to review the checklist linked below. Along with the information on the checklist, be sure to read summer updates from the PPA administration. We look forward to seeing you soon.

School Closed on Wednesday, May 6th

The Douglas County School District and PPA will be CLOSED on Wednesday, May 6th, due to inclement weather conditions.

We recognize that temperatures will warm up and the snow will stop later today. Even with a delay, we would not be able to get school parking lots cleared in time for the start of school. In addition, road conditions will be very slick.

With the school closure, Spotlight is also closed and any rehearsals and performances are also cancelled. Ms. Garramone will be reaching out with further information about rescheduling the Middle School Orchestra concert.
