PCSSD is currently experiencing an internet outage that covers almost every school in the District. One of the main fiber lines was cut and caused the outage. AT&T has been notified and will fix the issue. However, we do not have an estimated duration for the outage other than that it will be "an extensive repair." We appreciate your patience.

We're launching a new tool for communication! What better way to stay updated with the latest information from PCSSD than with your very own pager. Clip it to your belt and you'll be walking in style AND the latest from PCSSD. #pcssdproud #serveall 🤭😉

Please help us wish Ms. Holden a very Happy Birthday! 🎂 💙, Your SHMS Family 🐻

Happy Easter! This Christian cultural holiday commemorates the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Easter is based on a lunar month which is why the date varies each year. Easter Sunday always occurs on the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon. #pcssdproud #serveall

Great job, Bears!🐻

Sylvan Hills Middle School is proud to announce that Ms. Hemphill's 7th period English Class is crowned The 2024 Arkansas State Reading Champions in the Middle School Conference.
