Remember: There is no school Monday, Sept. 7 in observance of Labor Day. Enjoy your long weekend!

USDA change means all students (not just PSD students) can receive meals
Due to a change announced Monday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, ANY student, including those who are not enrolled in PSD, can get free meals. PSD is providing sack breakfasts and lunches at no cost to students (18 and younger) Monday-Friday at numerous schools and mobile-serving locations across the district. Please remember, families and students are required to wear masks and social distance when picking meals up.

More students than ever qualify for Early Childhood Education preschool
|
PSD’s preschool program still has open spaces for the 2020-21 school year. More families may qualify now than ever before. PSD ECE now has a limited number of open spots for eligible preschoolers to receive in-person care and educational support; rigorous criteria are being used to determine which students who apply for ECE have exceptional need (i.e. Their family is living unsheltered or facing significant economic hardship, or the student has significant intervention needs due to diagnosed disabilities, among other qualifying factors). To learn more and begin an application online, visit the Early Childhood Education web page or call 970-490-3204.
