PCSD Parents and Families:

Good evening!  A short while ago we became aware of a social media post that threatened one of our school buildings.  Authorities are working to identify the person responsible for this post and will continue until they are identified and brought to justice.  The safety of our students and staff is paramount at Portsmouth City Schools and to allow the authorities time to do their work, the district will be having a Virtual Online School Day tomorrow, January 13th 2023.  I realize that this makes things difficult, but feel that this is best and will ensure the safety of all.  Students will be able to check online for their school work and will return to school on Tuesday, January 17 after the Martin Luther King, Jr. national holiday.  

Thank you,
Scott Dutey
Superintendent
