School Calendar Update

The school calendar for next school year (2020-2021) will include a post-Labor Day start to school so the calendar will be very similar to the current school year calendar. The 20-21 calendar will be brought to the School Board to approve this winter. School division staff will continue to work with representatives from all of the school divisions who send students to the New Horizons Regional Education Center (NHREC) to determine if a change to a pre-Labor Day school start should occur for the 2021-2022 school year. The results of the school divisions surveys are being used to inform the decision making process.  PCPS had a good return rate on the survey that was provided to the school community.  The results of the survey can be found online at this link  https://www.poquoson.k12.va.us/Page/248. A decision about the 2021-2022 calendar will be made during the spring of this school year.

Citizenship Quotes for the Week:

"We pay a price when we deprive children of the exposure to the values, principles, and education they need to make them good citizens."  -  Sandra Day O'Connor

"The first requisite of a good citizen in this Republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight; that he shall not be a mere passenger, but shall do his share in the work that each generation of us finds ready to hand; and, furthermore, that in doing his work he shall show, not only capacity for sturdy self-help, but also self-respecting regard for the rights of others."  -  Theodore Roosevelt

"Bad men cannot make good citizens."  -  Patrick Henry

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."  -  John F. Kennedy
