School Tours
School tours are a good way to get to know a school’s staff, principal, parents, students and facilities, to see if it is a good fit for your family. You can also get to know a school by attending its events. Benefits of attending school events:
- You don't have to take time off work to see a school.
- You get to know the types of fundraising and community support a school has.
- You support public schools by participating in their auctions, raffles and carnivals, plus most activies will be age appropriate for your child to participate too!
See our Calendar for upcoming school events and Open Houses.

"As a parent of an incoming kindergartener, PPS has been an invaluable and highly dependable tool. Were it not for PPS, I would surely not have visited many of the 'hidden gems' within the district. Thank you!"
