Tornado Family,
Welcome back to the Winter Quarter! I hope that you had a good break. We’re glad to have your children back at school.
As we look forward to the first snow of the season tomorrow, I want to share that Paducah Public Schools anticipates having a regular school day with our students present tomorrow. We plan to drive the roads early in the morning to ensure that students will be safe on the way to school.
Our district, in contrast to our neighboring districts, is in a small geographical area that is flat. This enables us to have school when other districts are not able to have school due to the size of the district, hilly terrain, and back roads that are hard to maneuver in a bus.
Based on the current forecast, it looks safe for us to be in school at our normal time in the morning. If the roads are unsafe, we will make an announcement via Snowman 6, KINVO, the district web page and our social media channels. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
For Each and Every Child,
Dr. Donald Shively
Superintendent, Paducah Public Schools

Dear Paducah Community members,
You are invited to click the link below to complete a survey of the Paducah Public School District. The survey was created by the University of Kentucky and Civil Rights Institute for community members. The goal of the survey is to continue to gather information on how to better serve students from the community’s perspective. The survey is anonymous, and no names are needed to complete the paper or online copy.
There is also a paper copy of the survey that can be completed as well. We are in the process of providing five lockbox locations in the community where paper surveys can be submitted. We will have those locations available as soon as possible if you want to complete a paper survey.
