Good morning Pirates!! Today is a great day to buy a new mattress or maybe upgrade your sheets & pillow cases. Although its grey and chilly outside, it is bright and warm in the complex gym where we will be from 10am to 5pm today, so please stop by to say "Hi" and maybe give a new mattress a try. Thank for supporting our Pirate Music Program and as always, GO PIRATES!!
Good evening Pirates! Just want to provide a quick update to the power outage at Pathfinder as we just received word that the power has just been restored!!! The issue occurred at our district owned transformer and to honest, we were not feeling confident it was going to be fixed in time for school tomorrow, but thanks to a team of specialists from DTE, Utilities Instrumentation Services in Dexter, Michigan Electrical and our Pirate maintenance team, we were able to get it up and running. Thanks for everyone's patience and flexibility today as we appreciate you! Have a great evening and GO PIRATES!!
Good morning Pirates. We currently do not have power at PATHFINDER SCHOOL ONLY and DTE has informed us that it will not be restored until later this evening. This also will impact our LINK Program, Central Office and the Bus Garage. As a result, there will be no school today for PATHFINDER STUDENTS ONLY! There IS power at Navigator and the Fine Arts Connector. All community education events scheduled at Pathfinder are cancelled today as well. We apologize for this inconvenience.
Thank you,
Rick Todd
Good afternoon Pirates! Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow (3/21) is a half-day of school and bus stop drop-off times will be adjusted accordingly (about 3 and 1/2 hours earlier than usual). Thank you!
Good morning Pirates. The rain this morning is beginning to freeze on many of our dirt roads due to the remaining frost underneath the roadway, causing several of our buses to run 5-10 minutes late. Please be at stop at regular time and we appreciate your patience. Also, please be careful if driving on these roads throughout the day. Have a great and safe day Pirates!!
Good evening Pirates! As you’ve likely heard over the past couple of days, we’re anticipating a significant snowfall overnight, with 5-6 inches expected. This will undoubtedly create challenging conditions for our buses, student drivers, and families. With safety as our top priority, we’ve made the proactive decision to close school tomorrow, Thursday, February 13. We understand this is our 6th cancellation this year and recognize the strain this places on many of our working families. Please know that these decisions are never made lightly as the safety of our Pirates always comes first. Thank you for your understanding, and as always, GO PIRATES! 🏴☠️
Good morning Pirates. Although the main roads in our community are good and treated with salt, the many back roads we have are still covered with ice and with safety being at the forefront of this decision, we will be closing school for today, February 6. We appreciate your understanding. Be safe and have a great day!
As many of you are likely aware—especially our students—we’re expecting some weather moving in that could affect road conditions Thursday morning, potentially bringing freezing rain, ice, sleet, and/or snow. The forecast has been inconsistent over the past few days, with changes in predicted precipitation amounts, timing, and impacts.
We’ll be closely monitoring the situation tomorrow morning and will make the best decisions possible based on the conditions. Please be prepared to adjust plans if needed, but for now, plan to come to school while staying cautious, as there may be some slick spots on the roads. Thank you for your understanding and support. Stay safe, and GO PIRATES!! 🏴☠️
Hello Pirate Families, due to the forecasted “feel like” temperatures (-20 to -25) we are expecting the next two mornings, we have decided to cancel school for both Tuesday and Wednesday in an abundance of caution. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we work together to keep everyone safe. More information will be provided for those previously scheduled community education and athletic events. Thank you and GO PIRATES!
Good afternoon Pirates! We will be hosting our Mobile Food Pantry this Wednesday, January 8, at the PCS Bus Garage from 4:30pm to 6pm. The following food items will be distributed: rice, vegetable soup, applesauce, sliced peaches, peanut butter, canned black beans, green beans, and chicken drumsticks. Please share with anyone who may be able to take advantage of this service. Thank you.
Good morning Pirates. I am sorry to once again inform you that we will be closing school today, December 12, as the conditions created by the localized lake effect snow bands are creating conditions of blowing snow, accumulating snow and icy roads that will make traveling this morning very dangerous for our students, staff and parents. The winter advisory that goes to 10am for our area is also expecting the potential of an additional 2 inches of snow, which will only complicate the commute this morning. We apologize for this inconvenience and do appreciate your understanding and support as we work to keep our Pirates safe.
Thank you, Rick Todd.
Good morning, Pirates. After thoroughly assessing the road conditions this morning, we have determined that the combination of cold, high winds, and snow, albeit it has not been a lot, has created extremely icy and hazardous roads throughout our community. To ensure the safety of our students, parents, and staff, school will be closed today, Thursday, December 5. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and sincerely appreciate your understanding and support. Stay safe!
