District 32 invites the community to come out and cheer on the Perryville Pirate Band and PCSD Choirs students tomorrow morning as they depart town for the MSHSAA State Competition.
🕐 Send-Off Time: Approximately 8:30 AM
🚌 Route: The bus will leave campus and travel down Main Street, circle around the square, then head west on St. Joseph Street. From there, they’ll continue to Highway 51, turn left, and make their way toward I-55.

Due to the threat of severe weather forecast for our area later this evening, Perry County School District 32 is canceling all after-school and evening activities for tonight, Monday, April 27. This includes:
Adventure Club
Little Pirates late pickup (please pick up students at 2:55 p.m. dismissal via parent pickup lanes)
All athletic practices/events
Middle School Choir concerts (rescheduling updates will be communicated later)
We are currently planning for a regular end of day dismissal. We are keeping a close eye on the weather throughout the afternoon due to the potential for some popup events. We will follow our severe weather protocols and shelter students/staff in our FEMA rooms in the event a weather emergency occurs prior to dismissal.
We encourage everyone in the Pirate family to stay weather aware and have a plan in place for this evening.

Debbie Baer is the Food Services Director for District 32. Her nominator said: "Debbie is a worker, period, end of story. It needs to get done and she does it. Her title may be the director but she isn't above helping wherever it is needed. Not to mention the way she manages her crew, whether she is short handed or not, the can-do mentality and positive attitude are visible."
April Thompson is the Administrative Assistant for the District 32 Technology office. Her nominator said, "April was a rock star at the Primary Building. She has gone above all expectations and she is doing the same with moving over to the Technology building to make District 32 schools the best ever! April has absolutely touched many people within the capacity of her job from her bubbly voice on the phone calls to helping out any way needed."

Congratulations to Dan Querry, Caleb Streiler, Nancy Voelker, and Terry Wichern on their election to the District 32 Board of Education.
The Board will convene next week to begin the work of determining our next steps and evaluating a path forward for our campus. We remain dedicated to the safety and success of our students and will keep the community informed as new plans develop.

We know what day it is, but we promise this isn't a prank! District 32 will have no school from Thursday, April 2, through Monday, April 6.
We hope all of our students, staff, and families enjoy a restful and wonderful break. We can’t wait to see everyone back on campus Tuesday, April 7!

Last spring a tornado came and wreaked havoc on our campus, but it also highlighted the incredible resilience of this community. We have navigated numerous challenges together over the last year in the face of an unknown future for PHS. A week from today, voters will have a say in what the future looks like when they make a decision on Proposition K.I.D.S.
Prop K.I.D.S (Keep Improving District Schools) will ask voters whether to approve a $0.41 cent tax increase, to generate $52.5 million that would support a project to build a reimagined PHS.
Full information about Prop K.I.D.S. is available on the District 32 website via the link below, including answers to the most frequently asked questions.
www.perryville.k12.mo.us/page/recovery
Don’t forget, election day is Tuesday, April 7 — we encourage you to make a plan to vote and ensure your voice is heard. In addition to Prop K.I.D.S., voters will also have the opportunity to vote on candidates for the District 32 Board of Education and other local elected positions.
Thank you for your continued support as we plan for the future of our students together.
Message paid for by Perry County School District No. 32, Dr. Fara Jones, Superintendent, 326 College Street, Perryville, MO 63755

As we look back at how far we’ve come, we are also looking forward. On April 7, our community will make a vital decision about the future of Perryville High School when Proposition K.I.D.S. goes before voters.
