August 28, 2023 Temporary Change in Homecoming Parade Route for Purcell Public Schools for SY24 Purcell Public Schools wants to inform everyone of a temporary change in the Homecoming parade route this year due to ongoing construction on Main Street. The traditional parade route will be unavailable, necessitating an alternate path to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all participants and spectators. The Homecoming parade, a cherished tradition that brings together students, families, and community members to celebrate school spirit and unity, will occur on September 15th at 1:30 p.m. While we regret any inconvenience caused by this change, we are committed to providing an enjoyable experience for all involved. The new parade route will begin at Van Buren & 3rd St. It will head south on 3rd St. and turn east on Monroe St. The final turn will be on 2nd St. and it will head north, concluding at Conger Field. This revised path has been carefully planned in collaboration with local authorities to minimize disruption while ensuring the safety of participants and spectators alike. We encourage everyone attending the Homecoming parade to familiarize themselves with the new route ahead of time. We also invite everyone to join us for a community-wide pep assembly that will follow the parade at Conger Field. We will all gather on the Home side stands. Come help us celebrate our Homecoming Court and cheer on the Dragons to victory! Purcell Public Schools would like to express our gratitude for your understanding and flexibility during this temporary adjustment. We remain dedicated to delivering memorable experiences that foster school pride while prioritizing everyone's well-being. Thank you for your continued support as we navigate these changes together. We look forward to celebrating a fantastic Homecoming event with our entire community! Proud to be a Dragon! Sheli McAdoo, Ph.D.

August 3, 2023 Dear Dragon Families, Welcome back to another exciting school year! I hope this letter finds you and your family rejuvenated and ready for an extraordinary year filled with growth, learning, and memorable experiences. As the superintendent, I am thrilled to travel on this journey alongside you and your child. Our dedicated team of educators has done tremendous work over the summer to prepare for your child's return. We have been reviewing our curriculum, enhancing our instructional strategies, and creating a safe and nurturing environment where every student can thrive. We are committed to providing an exceptional educational experience that focuses on the development of each child. Our goal is not only to foster academic excellence but also to nurture their overall well-being. We believe that when students feel supported emotionally, they are better equipped to reach their full potential academically. To achieve this vision, we will continue implementing innovative teaching practices and programs that engage students meaningfully. Our teachers will create dynamic classrooms where critical thinking skills are honed, creativity is celebrated, and collaboration is encouraged. We want our students to be active participants in their own learning journey. Furthermore, we recognize the importance of open communication between home and school. We encourage you as parents/guardians to actively engage with us throughout the year by attending parent-teacher conferences, school events, and staying connected through our various communication channels, such as social media platforms. We value your partnership in ensuring your child's success. I want to express my gratitude for entrusting us with your child's education. Your support is vital in creating an atmosphere conducive to growth and achievement. I encourage you to reach out with any questions, concerns, or suggestions. Together, we can make this school year a remarkable one for our students. Once again, welcome back to Purcell Public Schools! I look forward to seeing all of your smiling faces on August 10th. With warm regards, Sheli McAdoo, Ph.D. Superintendent
