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.
