Craig O'Neill's "Reading Road Trip" is stopping at a few PCSSD schools. Last week, 2nd graders at CHENAL ELEMENTARY had fun with Craig and his antics as he turned the reading into a full skit! Special thanks to Baldwin & Shell for sponsoring these visits. #pcssdproud #serveall
Junior Achievement of Arkansas shared financial literacy lessons at CRYSTAL HILL ELEMENTARY. Thanks to these awesome volunteers, our students are laying the essential foundation for a successful & smart relationship with money. #pcssdproud #serveall
Based on input from our transportation crews as well as neighboring districts, PCSSD will be closed on Monday, January 13. This decision was made in order to ensure the safety of our bus drivers and parents driving students to school. There are many roads that still are not clear and some areas may refreeze overnight. District offices will be open for those who can safely report to work. This includes auxiliary offices as well. School staff who are 244-day employees are expected to report to work as well.
PCCSD leadership will meet this afternoon to discuss the weather impact on roads. No decision will be made about school tomorrow until after that meeting. Thanks for understanding as we evaluate the safest options for families and staff.
5th grade students at ROBINSON ELEMENTARY spent their holiday party putting together care baskets to bring cheer to residents in a local nursing home. Love how these students are already learning to give back to their community. #pcssdproud #serveall

Did you know, the 2nd Friday in January is called “Quitter's Day?” Research shows that people abandon their resolutions by then. Instead of making it hard on yourself with vague goals, make them SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound. #pcssdproud #serveall
Today we're spotlighting Dr. Laurel Tait of zone 7, another PCSSD School Board superhero! She shares her Guardian's Shield with the District as she works to create a force field to protect others from harm. #pcssdproud #serveall

SYLVAN HILLS MIDDLE students explored the art of persuasion by debating the ultimate breakfast battle: Pancakes vs Waffles. They crafted arguments, structured essays with strong intros, solid reasoning, evidence & rebuttals. So, which do you prefer: 🥞 or 🧇?#pcssdproud #serveall
