As we continue to monitor the timing and path of the storms in our state, PCSSD has decided to change to an AMI day today (April 5). We feel this is the safest decision for our students, families and staff. We understand that many families and staff still do not have power or Internet. In these cases, schools will work with them regarding any assignments or other concerns. Thank you and stay safe.
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.

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.

Tomorrow is the big day!!! The Maumelle Food Truck Festival is back!! Join us tomorrow at Maumelle Middle from 11am until 4pm. We'll have nearly a dozen food trucks and activities set up all day! Come out and enjoy a day at Maumelle Middle with us!
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.
Women's History Month: we're celebrating female leaders in PCSSD and their role models. Alternative Learning Program Facilitator, Tammy Bray, says her mom, Faye Moore, sacrificed everything to ensure her children could have what they needed.
