Polk County Public Schools is monitoring the path of Tropical Depression Nine, which could impact Florida next week.
At this time there are no changes planned to the school schedule for next week. However, our staff will continue to monitor the weather and work with Polk County emergency management personnel to be prepared in case this storm impacts our area.
Even if Polk County is not directly affected, there is always a possibility that our schools will need to serve as shelters for evacuees from other areas.
Please continue to follow our website and social media accounts for updates. In the event we have to close schools or alter our operations next week, we will send automated calls and emails to all PCPS families. Please make sure your school has your correct contact information on file for SchoolMessenger communications.
Again, any official announcements regarding our schools will be communicated via PCPS SchoolMessenger calls and emails, as well as our website and social media accounts. Unless you hear otherwise from us, all PCPS schools will be open as normal on Monday.
Please stay safe and make sure your family is adequately prepared.
