Things to know this week in PWCS

🫵 PWCS families: We need your feedback!

PWCS has partnered with Gallup to gather feedback on the connection you feel to the schools your children attend. Your insights are valuable in helping us understand and improve our schools across several key areas, including school engagement and environment, academic standards, strengths and development and school communication and leadership.

Take the Survey for each of the schools your children attend.

Celebrating National Random Acts of Kindness Week! 💛

National Random Acts of Kindness Week is here! In our schools across the division, students and staff are making kindness the norm. Read more to learn about the Kindness Matters campaign and check out school resources and activities for students and families.

🔮 Your roadmap toward a thriving future begins with the Student Vision Profile!

Families of students in grades 6-12 can now view the customized Student Vision Profile (SVP) in ParentVUE and StudentVUE by clicking on the "documents" section.

This is individualized information based on your student's interests and goals to help plan for life after high school and make the most of the PWCS experience. Looking to get started? Visit the Student Vision Profile webpage for more information and overview videos about how to use SVP.

Additionally, feel free to connect with your school's counselor for any questions about the Student Vision Profile.
