PLCS welcomed nearly 50 new certified staff members during a comprehensive training session designed to prepare them for success in the 2025-26 school year. The Human Resources-led training represents the first of several professional development opportunities planned for new educators before students return to school.

The extensive orientation process ensures that new teachers understand district policies, procedures, and educational philosophy while providing them with practical tools and resources they'll need in their classrooms. This investment in new teacher preparation contributes to both educator success and student achievement outcomes.

The large number of new teachers joining the district reflects continued growth in the PLCS community as well as the district's reputation as an excellent place to work and teach. The comprehensive onboarding process helps ensure that new educators feel supported and prepared to contribute to the district's educational mission.

The multi-session training approach allows new teachers to process information, ask questions, and build relationships with colleagues before the demands of the school year begin. This thoughtful approach to professional development demonstrates the district's commitment to supporting educator success and retention.
