DELAYED START ❄ As we continue to monitor weather conditions, predictions indicate a high chance of early Tuesday morning temperatures below freezing, which increases the chances of icy roads and bridges. The safety of our students, teachers, and staff is always the first priority, so PCSSD will have a delayed start on Tuesday, December 2, for schools and district offices. Buses will run two hours later than their normal scheduled time. Tardies will not be counted for the day.

Check out these amazing tiled Mosaic pieces from Mrs. Hurst's Crafts & Pottery classes. Students handcrafted "focal point" tiles out of class, and then filled in the background with pre-made tiles. They also made their own grout to cement the tiles in place. Way to go, Bears!
