    Hello Ockley Green Families & Partners -

    PPS sent out a communication last night on 10.19.23.  I am also including it  for your reference.  As we approach the potential strike start date of November 1st, the most up-to-date information for families will be on the  webpage.

    Please know that I and our staff are committed to ensuring students continue to have a positive school environment and that the routines we have established remain strong up to and after their return after this potential loss of school days.  I have been in regular communication with our site-based PAT Representatives and we will continue to problem-solve how we best support students during this time. 

    Please see below for some important updates!
