PCPS continues to work diligently to prepare schools to reopen for our students. Unfortunately, a number of schools are without power and others have only recently had their power restored. In addition, necessary repairs and cleanup must be finished to ensure our schools are safe and ready to welcome back our students. As a result, schools will remain closed on Monday (Oct. 3). Our goal is to reopen our campuses to students on Tuesday (Oct. 4).
