The Pulaski County School District is celebrating its remarkable performance with the recent release of state testing results. Superintendent Patrick Richardson noted, “All of our schools are among the highest-scoring in the state. Our whole community has so much to be proud of. Our students are learning well, working hard, and putting forth greater effort in their studies and on these important tests that tell us all how we’re doing as a school system. We have considerable support from parents and families, which makes a big difference. And I am especially grateful for our teachers and staff, who are dedicated to instructing, leading, and motivating our students, and who are too often underappreciated in our current political and social climate. Our teachers and staff are among the best in Kentucky.”
The Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) was administered in May, and scores for every public school in the state are now available to the public. Here’s how Pulaski County Schools stacked up against other districts:
--Elementary Schools: Top 6% – Ranked #11 of 182 districts
--Middle Schools: Top 13% – Ranked #23 of 182 districts
--High Schools: Top 12% – Ranked #22 of 178 districts
Congratulations to Zach Smith, Counselor at Pulaski Elementary School. He was awarded a Social Emotional Learning grant from the KY Association of Schools Counselors. Grants were awarded for the purpose of creating calming and self-regulation areas within the school building for students to have access to. Mr. Smith applied for this competitive grant with the idea to create a "mobile" calming unit where students have access throughout the school day without having to come to the front office. This space will have books and resources for learning self-regulation strategies as well as sensory items that are useful in grounding techniques and coping skills.
We have a HUGE THANK YOU to our community for the support and encouragement of our local public school teachers. All of Pulaski County School District's faculty kicked off this school year with a day-long mini conference hosted at Southwestern High School. More than 625 teachers and principals gathered to learn and prepare for the coming school year. To make this event A LOT more fun and exciting, a host of local businesses and community members donated gifts for door prizes that were given at the closing session of the teacher workday. On behalf of our teachers, principals, and administrators, THANK YOU so much for making us feel supported and appreciated!!!
Buses will begin to roll for the 2023-2024 school year on August 10 traveling over 7500 miles a day
School bus safety is a team effort! With as many buses traveling thousands of miles, motorists are asked to be especially cautious during morning and afternoon route times. Running school bus stop signs, passing buses, or failing to yield to buses creates a great danger to children who are loading and unloading. Ignoring a bus stop sign or accidentally running a stop sign due to carelessness could literally mean life and death to a child. Help us keep your child safe by talking to your child about bus safety rules. School buses do not travel every road, but a pick-up location is close. For more information, bus schedules, school boundary zones, or interested in becoming a school bus driver contact the Pulaski County School System at 606-679-1123 and ask for Transportation.
The Pulaski County Dolly Parton Imagination Library (DPIL) was started in 2013, and this year will celebrate ten years of providing free books to children in Pulaski County.
Our goal is for every eligible child in the Pulaski County School System to be a part of the DPIL. To be eligible, the child must be age birth to five and live in Pulaski County. For more information and to enroll, click HERE.
The Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) scores have been released and Pulaski County Schools is a high ranking district in Kentucky. Overall, our elementary schools rank within the top 6%, middle schools within the top 10%, and high schools within the top 17%. We're proud of our students, teachers, and staff, and we're grateful for the support we receive from our community partners! We strive to meet the needs of each child, and continuously improve their educational experiences. Way to Go Pulaski County Schools!
