Superintendent’s Message
2019-2020
Dear Peru CSD Community,
At Peru, our mission is to empower all students to be lifelong learners by providing a nurturing environment in which they are inspired to pursue their dreams and contribute to the global community.
We value innovative engaging learning that fosters curiosity in acquiring knowledge and the skills that include critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration, creativity and innovation, all critical skills for the 21st Century learner.
Most important, at all levels of learning we strive for academic excellence and rigor by engaging student minds. Learning is designed with a focus on hands-on, mind-on, problem-solving challenges.
We feel parental support is key to a child’s success in learning and in life, so we believe it is essential to develop strong lines of communication between home and school throughout the year
This website represents one of our many efforts to keep you informed and knowledgeable about the activities, programs, and services offered in the Peru Central School District. Our Student-Parent Portal, social media (Twitter/Facebook, Sports U) and other communication tools are valuable resources containing information on how parents can stay connected, informed and up-to-date with the happenings in their child’s school and his/her individual academic progress.
We invite parents to be actively involved in their child’s education and we extend an invitation to the entire community to join us at school activities and events as often as possible. We value your talent, ideas, involvement, engagement and support for learning. Together, we can help Peru CSD children achieve success!
I look forward to working with you throughout the course of this school year.
Sincerely,
Dr. Thomas Palmer
Superintendent of Schools
