All PCSSD schools and district offices will be closed on Thursday, January 29, due to continued hazardous road and weather conditions. All events and activities are canceled or will be rescheduled. While our maintenance crews have made significant progress on clearing sidewalks and parking lots, and main roads and arteries throughout the county have been cleared, many of our neighborhood streets and secondary roads are still covered in thick sheets of ice. These conditions create potentially dangerous travel conditions to our facilities. We will continue to monitor weather conditions and provide updates as they become available. Thank you for your continued support of PCSSD.
