PPS Parents and Guardians, We are beginning preparations for Online Registration for the 2022-23 school year. Please be aware that the friends and family members you have listed as emergency contacts in Infinite Campus may be contacted to verify their date of birth. This is not a scam. The call will be from a Paducah Public Schools number and the caller will identify themselves as an employee of Paducah Public Schools. We are requesting this information for security purposes. The additional information will aid us in confirming the identity of designated friends or family members who come to pick your child up at school. If you are contacted and are unsure about giving us information over the phone, please contact us at 270-444-5600. We appreciate your cooperation as we work to make our schools safe and secure. Sincerely, Troy Brock, Director of Pupil Personnel Paducah Public Schools

Dear PPS Parents and Guardians, Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, March 2, 2022, Paducah Public Schools is relaxing masking requirements. Masks will be optional in all school settings, including on buses. On Monday, district leadership received an updated recommendation from the Kentucky Department for Public Health regarding masking from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) focused on COVID-19 community levels. Combined with the new recommendations, our district leadership has reviewed the local positivity rates, the Kentucky Incidence Rate Map, the number of COVID patients in our local hospitals, and our total number of positive cases in McCracken County. There is a significant decrease in all these measures compared to a month ago. We also see significant decreases in the number of COVID positive students and staff compared to a month ago. As outlined in the guidance, our schools will maintain the following baseline strategies: Students and staff are encouraged to remain up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations - 5-day isolation followed by 5-day masking for individuals with COVID-19 - Sick individuals should stay home - On-site testing remains available for sick or exposed persons Thank you for your support and encouragement as we continue to work together for the health and safety of each and every child. Sincerely, Dr. Donald Shively, Superintendent Paducah Public Schools
