Oak Grove Elementary

PCSSD continues to monitor the severe weather situation that is expected to move through the state overnight and into the morning. After consulting with local meteorologists as well as neighboring school districts, PCSSD will have plan to delay our start by 2.5 hours tomorrow (Wednesday, April 5). However, as we continue to monitor the storms throughout the night and in the morning, if anything changes PCSSD may adjust our decision to shift to a full AMI day tomorrow. This decision will be made by 7:30 a.m. tomorrow. Thank you, as always, for your patience.

ESS (WillSub) is hiring substitute and support staff to work in PCSSD. They offer flexible scheduling, bi-weekly pay, training opportunities, bonus programs and more. Apply today at www.ess.com. We'd love to have you work with us in PCSSD! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence

PCSSD is closely monitoring the severe weather situation that is expected to enter the state overnight and into the morning. We will have an update this evening as we continue to gather more information about the path of these storms. We appreciate your patience.

PCSSD will be open tomorrow for instruction. Our schools sustained little to no damage across the District, for which we are quite thankful. While the schools were spared, hundreds of homes and businesses were not. We understand that many of our students' families and our staff suffered significant damage to their homes. We want to help in any way possible. If you sustained damage, please fill out this form so that we can provide ways and resources to help.

Attendance will not be taken and students who are absent will be excused. Please take two minutes to watch his video: https://youtu.be/mrc1kPaI_yU

Thank you again for your patience and cooperation on Friday. We will be in session tomorrow. As of right now, all schools except Oakbrooke Elementary have regained power. Oakbrooke families will receive a follow up message later this afternoon. We will send additional information on how to help in the recovery process shortly. Thank you again.

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.
