Dear Students and Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter with you and look forward to the exciting experiences and growth ahead.

To our returning students, welcome back!  To our new students and families, welcome to the P188X community. We’re excited to support you on your journey, especially as we celebrate the opening of our new site at P138X—a wonderful expansion of our mission and services.

This year, we continue our commitment to wellness, innovation, and reimagined learning.  Our theme is:“P188X: Advancing success, independence, and wellness through engaging partnerships.”

Our mascot, the RAMS, reminds us to: Respect, Achieve, Motivate, Succeed.

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." — Nelson

Mandela

Thank you for your continued support. Let’s make this year amazing!

Warmly,

Shanie J. Smith-Baugh
