On October 17th, wear Duniway Dragon gear or something purple! #SpiritDay is the world’s most visible anti-bullying movement inspiring LGBTQ youth, especially transgender and nonbinary youth to live their lives in their truth and authenticity.

Take the #SpiritDay pledge to commit to going purple on Thursday, October 17th and showing LGBTQ youth you’ve got their backs!

PPS report cards are paperless this year! First quarter grades will be uploaded on November 8th. Follow this link for instructions on how to view your child's report card in ParentVue. Be sure you have done your Online Verification (instructions below) so you have access to ParentVue.

Each year parents and/or guardians are asked to review and update the information on file for their students. This information can be reviewed, edited and submitted online via PPS ParentVUE.

Beginning on 10/1/24, if you have not submitted Online Verification, you will receive a message prompting you to complete the process. You will not be able to log into ParentVue until this step is completed. This means you will not be able to view Report Cards!

Verify Online

Benefits of verifying online via ParentVUE:

• Complete yearly verification of your student's information
• Update your communication and language preferences
• Ensure your school has the most up-to-date information
• Save paper and time
