PCSSD is currently experiencing an internet outage that covers almost every school in the District. One of the main fiber lines was cut and caused the outage. AT&T has been notified and will fix the issue. However, we do not have an estimated duration for the outage other than that it will be "an extensive repair." We appreciate your patience.
It's National Assistant Principal week and we are lucky to have so many amazing APs in our buildings. Let's give a shout out to the assistant principals of the MAUMELLE feeder. Thank you for your dedication to students, staff and school community.
