FDOE and Just Read, Florida have announced the 25-26 theme for Celebrate Literacy Week, January 26-30: Read, White, and Blue - Celebrating 250 Chapters of America!
We are planning for this incredible week of celebrating the love of reading by scheduling school events anchored to the love of literacy, literacy promotion, and reading! From fun theme days to guest readers on campus, we hope to inspire our Sharks to lean in to the love of reading together.
Every school day is a chance for your child to learn, grow, connect, and feel supported. When students are present, they don’t just gain knowledge—they build friendships, confidence, and a foundation for a bright future.
Together, we can give our children the best start by making attendance a priority. Each day at PCSD includes learning, activities, opportunities, and nutritious breakfast and lunch to help students thrive.

School resumes tomorrow, Tuesday, January 6, and we’re ready to jump back in and finish the school year strong. We can’t wait to see our students as we continue shaping the future—together.

Join PCSD for a LIVE parent event – Snapchat & Instagram Risks
Is your child begging for, or already using, Snapchat and Instagram? If so, join PCSD Superintendent Dr. Rick Surrency along with SmartSocial on Wednesday, November 5th at 7:00PM for a LIVE virtual event, designed to help parents learn why their kids want to Snapchat or Instagram and hidden risks you need to know about!:
These apps can be fun and creative, but big risks are hiding behind features like disappearing chats or “spam” and “finsta” accounts. What feels private to your teen can actually fuel comparison, anxiety, cyberbullying, and risky behavior.
