The power is out again at Oakbrooke Elementary. We are uncertain as to when it will be restored. Therefore, we will have an AMI day for *only* Oakbrooke Elementary tomorrow (Monday, April 3).
PCSSD will be open tomorrow for instruction. Our schools sustained little to no damage across the District, for which we are quite thankful. While the schools were spared, hundreds of homes and businesses were not. We understand that many of our students' families and our staff suffered significant damage to their homes. We want to help in any way possible.
If you sustained damage, please fill out this form so that we can provide ways and resources to help.

PCSSD has been in conversation with local meteorologists regarding the anticipated severe weather. Based on the timing, we will NOT dismiss early from school. We feel it is safest to keep students and staff inside the building as the storms push through. This may delay dismissal, but we value safety first. Parents may check students out early. However, if sirens are going off no students will be checked out. We appreciate you working with us to put safety first at all times.
Women's History Month: we're celebrating female leaders in PCSSD and their role models. Alternative Learning Program Facilitator, Tammy Bray, says her mom, Faye Moore, sacrificed everything to ensure her children could have what they needed.
