9 PCSSD high school students attended the Little Rock Regional Chamber's Cultivate Women's Business Series - Building Up STEAM. In a world where women have more opportunities than ever before, they remain underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Special thanks to Dassault Falcon for sponsoring the Academies of Central Arkansas table at the event, allowing these girls to attend. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence

WEATHER UPDATE:
The severe weather threat looks to have moved out of the Pulaski County area. Therefore, we will dismiss secondary schools at regular time. Thank you for your patience today.
WEATHER UPDATE:
Based on the latest weather updates, radar indicates that we will be able to release elementary students on time at 2:45pm. We will have update on dismissal for secondary students soon.
PCSSD is monitoring the severe weather as it moves across the state this afternoon. In order to keep our students and staff safe, we will delay dismissal until severe threats pass through Pulaski County. Students and staff will remain in the safe areas inside the building. If a parent wishes to pick up their child, you must do so before a tornado warning is in place. Once students and staff are in shelter, we cannot release them until the warning expires. We will update you as the weather changes and its impact on dismissal time.
