Our Vision
Our Mission
The PPS Brand of Family Engagement
Equal Partners
PPS reworks relationships between families, communities and schools so that parents are equal and actively engaged partners, not passive, external constituents of their public school systems.
Proactive problem solvers
PPS moves parents beyond a reactive, help-only-when-asked mode to identify problems and bring their talents and ideas to the policy table, not just the homework table.
Effective decision-makers
PPS provides the resources and ideas that help parents work with educators to define and analyze issues and find solutions.
Standard raisers
PPS challenges mediocrity at every level in public schools by setting high standards and helping students and educators meet these standards.
Mentors to others
PPS paves the way for ongoing and significant involvement at all levels of the district by creating welcome spaces and meaningful roles for more parents.
Committed to diversity in action
PPS crosses racial, cultural and socioeconomic lines to develop partnerships among parents that are needed to effectively promote the best education for all students.
Think nationally and act locally
PPS does its local work as part of a national effort and shares resources and ideas with other PPS parents across the nation.
Community advocates
PPS answers a civic duty to help make public schools effective for all children and strong anchors of their communities.
