MONDAY, MARCH 16, 2020 – 5:00 P.M.
In light of the Governor’s announcement this morning, PCSS schools and all activities will be canceled through at least March 31 effective immediately. This includes all athletic contests, extra-curricular activities, contracts with groups using our buildings, etc.
LEAPS and SAC services will be closed after Tuesday, March 17, 2020.
The days we miss due to this closure will not have to be made up. We will request a waiver from the TN Department of Education for the days missed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
School Nutrition will begin providing meals on Monday, March 23, 2020 for students who are 18 years of age and younger. Details will be shared via email and PCSS website and social media by Sunday evening, March 22, 2020.
We do not currently have any information regarding the upcoming TNReady state testing but we will provide updates as we receive them. We are in contact with the TN Dept of Education and ACT regarding rescheduling the ACT on March 31, 2020 for a later date. Updates will be shared when available.
March 23 – March 31, will be an extended spring break for students. During this time, PCSS faculty and staff will be working to prepare for continuity of services should the closure be extended beyond March 31. We appreciate your patience as we work out the logistics. We will communicate decisions as quickly and clearly as possible. This is completely new territory for all public school systems, but we will work through it together.
