Important Arrival and Dismissal Information
This school year, our arrival and dismissal procedures are adjusted to meet the safety needs of our scholars. Our school is excited to introduce Pikmykid.
K-2 Reading Initiative
Propel Schools is making a bold move to build a strong foundation for our students by focusing on literacy. Through our K-2 Reading Initiative, all of our scholars will perform at or above grade level in literacy by the time they complete the 2nd grade.
The Propel Schools Difference
At Propel, we value building relationships with scholars and families so that our scholars know that someone cares about them. When scholars consistently feel supported by caring educators in a safe and nurturing environment, they are more motivated to achieve academically.
