Happy New School Year!

Pershing Teachers and Staff  

I am super excited to welcome you as a part of the Pershing General Family. We are two schools with one big heart for serving all who enter our doors. I know that this school year will be an amazing year because you are a part of our team. The administration team and custodial staff are working hard to make sure that we are fully staffed and the building is ready for when you return.  


In the mean time, I would like to personally meet with each of you to get to know you and see what are some next steps we as a school can put in place to ensure that all needs of our Pershing People are being met. It is our goal that you have everything you need to provide the highest level of teaching and learning for all students. So, if you have a couple of minutes between now and August 11th please fill out the form HERE to schedule time with me. It should take 5-10 minutes. Several of you have already stopped by and we have had the pleasure to visit. I look forward to meeting with each of you and I look forward to the amazing things you will do for our kids this year.
