Our September #TeacherProud Tuesday recognitions are Dalton Manche and Susan Montgomery! 💚🤍🏴☠️
Mr. Manche is the music teacher at Perryville Elementary, and he is also a bus driver for the District. His nominator said: "Mr. Manche has been a wonderful music and choir teacher to my kids. He goes above and beyond to make them feel seen and heard everyday. I believe he is the reason my kids have a love for music. Anyone would be lucky to have him teach their kids."
Ms. Montgomery is the family and consumer sciences (FACS) teacher at Perry County Middle School. Her nominator said: "Ms. Montgomery has taught her students skills needed for their daily lives: sewing, cooking, budget planning, child care, design. But she has also taught them character skills of time management, working with others, self-confidence, persistence. Students and staff know they can rely on Ms. Montgomery to be available if help is needed. ”

DHSS conducted a review of District 32’s Summer Food Program earlier this month, and the reviewer was impressed enough to send along a Certificate of Appreciation to Food Services Director, Debbie Baer, and her staff.
The certificate says, “In recognition of your contribution to improving the health of the children of the State of Missouri. Accept this salute as a token of our appreciation for your commitment to SFSP through your effective management and integrity.”
Kudos to Ms. Debbie and her team for the amazing work they do make sure none of our students go hungry!

We understand the deep emotional connection our community has to the old Perryville High School building, and it is natural to want to watch the demolition progress or take photos.
However, your safety is our top priority. We are asking all community members to strictly adhere to the following safety rules:
🚫 Stay Behind the Perimeter: Please remain completely behind all caution tape, orange construction fencing, and barricades at all times.
❌ No Trespassing: The demolition zone is an active, restricted site. Trespassing inside the fenced areas—even after hours or on weekends—is strictly prohibited and highly dangerous.
We want to ensure this project is completed safely and without incident. Thank you for your cooperation.

Wishing all of our students, staff, families, and neighbors a safe and fun 4th of July.

In observance of the 4th of July holiday, all Perry County School District 32 offices will be closed on Friday, July 3.
Normal summer operating hours will resume on Monday, July 6
