It's School Board hero Heather Smith's turn for a super shoutout! Her superpower is an innate ability to read a room & understand people. While she may need 2 pairs of glasses to see clearly, her instinct to truly hear others doesn’t rely on listening alone. #pcssdproud #serveall

These candles by SYLVAN HILLS HIGH craft & pottery students are 🔥. This 2-month project included making pots, adding underglaze & finishing with "sgraffito" carving. The longest part was firing & refiring each pot. Students then added the wick, wax & scent. #pcssdproud #serveall

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
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.
