Preschool provides the foundation for K-12 academic success in PWCS
As rigor in K-12 education continues to increase, the skills students formerly learned in kindergarten are now presumed knowledge before entering school. In PWCS, students attending preschool acquire the academic and behavioral skills they need, which serve as foundational supports for their academic careers and help ensure thriving futures.
 This ad supports SPARK, the Education Foundation for PWCS.
  When schools and families work together as one team, the students of PWCS thrive! November is Family Engagement Month, and across PWCS, there are great examples of our schools promoting and strengthening family engagement.
