Classrooms and minds are opening and so are the possibilities.

Across America, classroom doors, books, and lockers are opening – and with them, young minds and endless possibilities.

A great public school education paves the way for students, empowering them with essential skills to become independent, creative thinkers and leaders who are curious about the world around them. This year, educators will work hand-in-hand with parents to ensure every student receives the necessary opportunities, resources, and support to unleash their fullest potential.

Welcome to a new school year! Learn how you can get involved:
