At our One School, One Book Academic Night back in October, we had book raffles that many of our students entered and won books! It took the book elves a little bit this year to make sure all the books came in, but we wanted to share all the happy faces of our students and the books that they were lucky enough to win! #PESReads #PESPantherPride
We'll be operating on a two hour delayed opening on Monday, January 13 due to current road conditions and predicted overnight temperatures. If this status changes in the morning, all families and staff will be notified no later than 5:45 am.
All schools will be closed again tomorrow, Friday, January 10. Offices will open at 10:00 am. This decision is based on the continued deterioration of road conditions as a result of frigid temperatures and high winds causing snow drifts. As always, we will provide updates as needed through all CCPS communication channels.
