Superintendent Message: Promising futures in PSD


During a recent visit to Irish Elementary School, I was inspired by Bianca, who is wise beyond her years. A fifth grader at the bilingual school, she sought me out to show me her journal where she captures her personal journey. During our time together, I saw her step into her leadership and her voice. 


Bianca talked with pride about the power of biliteracy and her Mexican heritage. She shared how important her parents are to her, their belief in her, and the positive impact of her teachers. She calls fifth-grade teacher Mextli Jimenez-Colores her “coach." 


Bianca is courageous and thoughtful and self-aware. She is learning from her family and teachers that it is OK to ask for help, and she knows that Mextli – and other educators and staff with whom she’ll connect throughout her educational career – will support her in her dream of becoming an attorney who advocates for others. Read the rest of Superintendent Kingsley's message.>>
