Palo Alto Preparatory High School

Love our amazing staff and parents. Making this crazy time a little more sane Tiffany, Chris, and James, Thank you all so much for putting this together. Our daughter had an absolute blast. It has been a tough time for all, and these activities are a highlight. The amount of work that the staff puts into making these events safe is significant. She described the protocols you all put into keeping the event safe (circling around, etc.), and she was amazed and grateful. Becaus...e of my risk level,she is very cautious. She steps away to eat or drink, and you all have created a safe space for students to do this. And you have created excellent protocols for students to participate in the activities. The events are such a fun way for students to try new things, connect with friends and make new friends. As we were driving to the school event, she said how much she loves PAP. And as we were driving away, she said "I love these activities." She is absolutely loving the photo elective. Art in the Park was also so much fun for her. Thank you, PAP Staff!

Love it when we hear this I want to share how powerful the in-person activities have been for our daughter. The fact that the staff is offering the morning fun activities (virtual), the evening and late afternoon social activities and the in-person electives on Friday is wonderful. I also really appreciate that these in-person activities are outside. The electives give students an opportunity to connect with students who have similar interests. The fun activities give stu...dents a bit of a social outlet. And the morning fun activities are wonderful for students who might not have the transportation opportunities to get to the in person electives and/or who want to start their day with some connection. It is difficult for kids to start new friendships right now. Families live far away, and we are already stretched with all that the pandemic entails. I personally feel so grateful that PAP is offering these and providing the social distancing. All this is a testament to the commitment of the PAP staff to providing high quality alternative education that also addresses the social and mental health needs of the students. Thank you, PAP! Thank you PAP Community #paloaltoprep2020 #interactivelearning
