Good afternoon PCPS Faculty, Staff and Families, PCPS is closely monitoring the weather forecast for tomorrow, Wednesday, February 19, 2025. Forecasts vary on the timing and on the amount of snowfall expected across the division. At this time, no decision has been made regarding school or after-school activities for tomorrow. We are waiting for additional forecast details this evening. However, to help families prepare, we want to inform you that an early dismissal or school closure may be necessary tomorrow (2-19-25). If conditions allow, we will make every effort to hold school for part of the day. However, if the snowfall begins too early, we may need to cancel school entirely for safety reasons. The very low temperatures are also problematic for any precipitation that may fall. While we aim to make weather-related decisions as early as possible the day before an event, that is not always feasible. If we cannot decide by 8:30 PM the night before, we will notify families by 5:30 AM the following morning. Families will receive updates through our phone, email, and text system, the PCPS App, Facebook, local media outlets, and our website. The safety of our students, staff, and families is our top priority. We appreciate your patience and support as we navigate weather-related decisions. Thank you for your continued support of Page County Public Schools.

The following calendar adjustments to the 2024-2025 Academic Calendar were approved by the School Board on Thursday, February 13, 2025: - Friday, March 14, 2025: changed from an early release day to a full student day. - Wednesday, April 30, 2025: changed from an early release day to a full student day. We are monitoring the winter weather forecasted for Wednesday and Thursday of this week. If any other calendar adjustments need to be made, we will notify faculty, staff, and parents as soon as possible. Thank you for our continued support of PCPS. Dr. Antonia Fox Division Superintendent
