PCSSD has an important issue coming to voters on the November 2, 2021 ballot. We are asking voters for permission to use mills (already approved) to build and improve facilities across the District. In the Sylvan Hills feeder, we'll be able to get a brand new (and expanded) band room at the high school!

We are busy learning all day long. Our learning environment is disturbed when a student gets checked out at the end of the day. We could use your help in this matter. Please refrain from checking your student out at the end of the day, unless you have an emergency. This will allow teachers and office staff to ensure that your student has everything they need to be successful.
Important information about arrivals and dismissal. Please Read!
