After monitoring the timing of the expected storms, district administration has decided to release school early today. Elementary schools will dismiss at 12:30pm and secondary schools will begin dismissal at 1:30pm. Lunches will be provided at all schools prior to dismissal. District office staff may leave at 2pm.
Good afternoon! PCSSD administration is closely monitoring the severe weather that is expected to impact central Arkansas tomorrow. At this time, we will proceed with a regular school day. However, all after school activities are canceled for Wednesday. As a reminder, we cannot dismiss students if there is an active tornado threat in the area. Doors will remain locked if tornado sirens are going off. This is for the safety of our students and staff. We appreciate your understanding.
