Dear Parents: Due to Professional Development needs throughout the district, Portsmouth City Schools has made the decision to delay the first day for students until Monday, August 29. We realize that this may cause some hardships for you and appreciate your understanding of this situation as we prepare for another school year.

Different electronic devices have different screen types, sizes, and resolutions. Apple’s iPhone (wide-gamut, high-contrast, HDR) will have much better video quality than a standard desktop monitor or an inexpensive laptop that uses older display technologies. YouTube typically adjusts the quality of your video based on the speed of your connection.

Dear Trojan Family, The district will be going back to recommending masks during the school day starting on Monday, February 14. I appreciate the cooperation that we have seen since January 5, when the mask mandate began, and we will continue to monitor the number of cases both within our district and county moving forward. Have a great weekend and Who Dey!

Dear PCSD Family, The district will continue to require masks during the school day next week (2/7 - 2/11) and recommend at all other district events. The CDC is supposed to issue some guidance next week for schools and we will keep you up to date. Stay safe and have a great weekend!
