District 32 families, please remember that all schools will dismiss early at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 19 as we begin our holiday break.
📚 Classes will resume on Monday, Jan. 5.
We hope this break brings time to rest, recharge, and enjoy special moments with family and friends. Thank you for a wonderful first half of the school year — we look forward to seeing everyone in the new year! 💚🏴☠️

Our December Team Player Tuesday recognitions are Sharon Buehler and Justin Dreyer! 💚🤍🏴☠️
Sharon Buehler is a Career Skills Instructor with the Perryville Area Career & Technology Center- PACTC . Her nominator said: "Sharon plays a crucial role in preparing students for placement assessments and certification exams that can open doors to both college and the workforce, ensuring that our students graduate with every possible advantage. What makes Sharon stand out even more is the way she cares for people. She is the first to notice the value that others bring to the table, and she never hesitates to offer encouragement, a helping hand, or a listening ear. All of us who are lucky enough to work with her know we can count on her to lift us up, just as all of our students know they can count on her to push them toward success."
Justin Dreyer serves a dual role as an Assistant Principal and Athletic Director at Perryville High School. His nominator said, "Justin Dreyer is an outstanding example of a true team player. His dedication to our athletics and activities programs often happens behind the scenes, but his impact is felt by students, staff, and families alike. Justin consistently goes above and beyond; often working long hours, managing countless details, and ensuring every event runs smoothly. His commitment, dependability, and pride in our school make him an invaluable part of our team."

After surveying roads this afternoon, our transportation team has confirmed that buses will run normal routes tomorrow and we plan to be back in school as usual.
With temperatures still very cold, please make sure students are bundled up at the bus stop and on their way to school—coats, hats, and gloves are highly recommended. 🧣🧤🧥
We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! Stay safe and stay warm, Pirates! 🏴☠️

There will be NO SCHOOL Wednesday–Friday this week as we observe Thanksgiving break.
We hope all of our District 32 families enjoy a safe, relaxing, and meaningful holiday with loved ones. We’ll see everyone back on Monday!

With deer season underway, we want to remind our Pirate families and students that firearms and ammunition are not permitted on school property — even if left inside a vehicle.
If you’re heading to school after hunting or planning to go afterward, please be sure to remove all firearms and ammunition from your vehicle and store them securely before coming to campus.
Thank you for helping us keep District 32 a safe and secure environment for all students and staff.

Neil Geringer is a bus driver with the D32 Transportation Department. His nominator said: "Neil is the definition of a team player! He’s always the first to step up when trips need to be covered and never hesitates to lend a hand wherever he’s needed. He juggles a lot during his day routes, but you’d never know it — he always keeps a great attitude and gets the job done. The Transportation Department is absolutely better because of him!"
Tara Keller is a technician with the D32 Maintenance Department. Her nominator said: "She continues to demonstrate a strong work ethic and a commitment to excellence in everything she does. From early morning fixes to last-minute repairs, Tara plays a vital role in keeping our district going strong every single day. We’re incredibly grateful for the pride and care she puts into making our schools better for everyone."

In observance of Veterans Day, there will be no school on Tuesday, November 11 across Perry County School District 32.
We encourage our Pirate families to take time to honor and thank the veterans who have served our country with courage and dedication. 💚
Classes will resume on Wednesday, November 12.

🗓️ Thursday – Parent-Teacher Conferences
🗓️ Friday – Teacher Collaboration Day

All performances begin at 7 p.m. and tickets will be sold at the door for $7, general seating.
According to the Silver Dagger Players, this is not the dramatic Shakespeare people may be accustomed to. It is his funniest comedy with lots of misunderstandings, love potions, and spells being cast in both a fairy world and a human world.
This show will be most appropriate for anyone fifth grade and up, but there is enough action happening, that it should hold the attention of younger audience members too. Language warning — there is a reference to the other word for donkey several times during the play.
