Business Partnerships

Our business partnerships provide educational opportunities that enable our students to graduate with options and be prepared for life after high school. Through opportunities like work-based learning internships, mentorships and job shadowing, our students develop business and work skills, and college and career readiness skills. Learn more about how you can be involved on the Business Partnerships and Community Support web page. Your participation can make a positive impact in the education of our students.

Financial

Whether big or small, your donation plays a vital role in supporting and inspiring every child to think, to learn, to care, and to graduate prepared to be successful in a changing world. The possibilities are endless - donations can support a wide range of activities including in a classroom or school, a program or one of the priorities outlined in the Strategic Plan (Literacy, Mental Health & Belonging, Graduate with Options). 

A few ways to contribute: 

  • Donate funds to support needs in PSD through SchoolPay.
  • Donate to the PSD Foundation to ignite learning opportunities. The foundation provides resources for teachers to implement innovative programs and projects that impact student achievement. 

Donations must be used for the intended purpose – donations made to support a classroom, school, or program are credited to the applicable school or program account. Donations that have terms and conditions that conflict with law, PSD policies or guidelines will be returned to the donor.
