PCPS Students & Parents, Please be aware that the remote learning materials you receive during the middle of November may look as though there is additional work, however, this is because teachers are combining work due to the Thanksgiving break. No Remote Learning is expected on the 25th, 26th, or 27th of November. Please enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with your families. Thank you.

As the greatest nation in the world, America gives hope, freedom, and opportunity to her people. Today, November 11th, we have an opportunity to honor our Veterans for their patriotism, love of country, service, and sacrifice.

Please express your gratitude and appreciation to those men and women, many of whom are living in our community, who have fought for the liberty that we enjoy every day.
