End of the Year Date Changes

Dear Parents/Guardians:

I believe that our harsh winter has finally come to an end and spring is here. Due to the severity of the winter, the date for the last day of school has been changed. PCA was closed for nine school days due to snow. Four of the nine snow days were during a State of Emergency, therefore the State of Delaware Board of Education has forgiven them, leaving five days we need to make up to complete our school day requirement. We had three contingency days built into the calendar, thus we need to add two more. The last day of school for students is now June 22, 2010 and will be a full day.

Our 8th grade graduation date has also been moved due to the snow. Graduation will be held at 7:00 PM, on Thursday, June 17, 2010.

Please continue to monitor our calendar on our website in case of other date changes.

Thank you,
Audrey M. Erschen
Principal
