The STUDENT REGISTRATION AND PLACEMENT OFFICER is responsible for the day to day process and completion of student registration and placement, including maintenance of student registration/files, in coordination with other PPSD Staff. This person works closely with parents, as well as other PPSD departments, including transportation, Special Populations, Student Affairs, Central Records, Language Acquisition, principals, administrators, clerks and RIDE.
We serve approximately 22,000 students at 37 elementary, middle, and high schools. Approximately 55% of students come from homes where English is not the primary language spoken. Combined, our students and families speak 55 different languages and hail from 91 countries of origin.
In PPSD, the teachers and leaders set high expectations for academic achievement, provide equal access to differentiated instruction, and endeavor to close the achievement and opportunity gap among historically marginalized subgroups within the schools. PPSD is a great place for those who desire an environment that supports their creativity and ingenuity, and respects their credentials and abilities as a teacher.
