This web site is the product of our coordinated efforts to welcome ALL families as our partners in the educational journey that guides the lives of ALL children as they learn and grow to become productive citizens who are college and career ready! From research, we know that more than one in four U.S. children live in a family with at least one immigrant parent. Moreover, we have learned from many community conversations, and countless observations, how isolated our children of immigrant and refugee families feel as they enter American schools. PGCPS believes that we must intentionally and strategically work toward helping parents and their children feel integrated into U.S. society rather than isolated. This is our purpose: to build culturally responsive bridges that will end isolation and lead to school communities in which every citizen feels welcomed, safe, included, and empowered to fulfill their dreams.
