Today is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day!
Thank you to our local law enforcement for all they do to keep our students and communities safe!

Due to the potential of severe weather conditions for tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday 01/09), Person County Schools will be closing at 12:15 pm. PCC students should check Blackboard for assignments. Stay safe!
Thank you for a great start to our second semester! As a reminder, because we use various virtual platforms, some courses have differing start dates. Students in grades 9-12 should refer to our website and the newsletter (https://www.smore.com/txu4b) which has those dates and links to the academic calendars. To our students enrolled at PCC, your classes will begin on Monday, January 8. Please refer to your PCC email for registration details and/or reach out to Ms. Oakley if you have questions about enrollment. Students in grades 5-8 will be on campus for MOY iReady assessments on Wednesday, Jan. 17 at 9am.
Have a great week!
