Freezing rain is expected to move across the state overnight and in the early morning hours. Out of an abundance of caution to avoid potentially icy roads, PCSSD will have a two-hour delay start on Monday, January 22. Please be cautious out on the roads!
NOTE: A two hour delay start means that everything runs two hours later than normal. To verify your school's start time, please refer to our bell schedule: https://www.pcssd.org/page/bell-schedule. Buses WILL run, just two hours later than normal. District offices will be open at 10 a.m.
