Important Message From PCPS: All afternoon and evening activities scheduled for today, Wednesday, May 14, 2025, have been cancelled. Thank you.

Good morning, Unfortunately road conditions in various locations across the division are not passable by our buses and division vehicles and some roads are closed. All PCPS schools and offices will be closed today, Wednesday, May 14, 2025. 12-month staff do not report. This decision was not made lightly and was made out of an abundance of caution for the safety of all students, staff, and families. Any SOL testing that was to take place today will be rescheduled. Schools will be communicating information to staff and families as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support and patience. Please stay safe today! Thank you!
