As we monitor the current weather conditions, we want to keep you informed about potential changes to events scheduled for this weekend. The National Weather Service out of Memphis has identified our area as a catastrophic flooding threat through Sunday. With a dangerous weather pattern continuing over the next couple of days, the National Weather Service is expecting 10-15 inches of rainfall north of I-40. With higher amounts possible, this could lead to severe flooding that may escalate quickly. The safety of our students is our top priority. As a result, we are considering alternate locations for prom and will work with local officials to determine the best options for Saturday. If necessary, we will make a decision regarding the postponement of events based on the most up-to-date weather information. We will notify families of any changes or decisions via text message and push notification through the PSD app by 4:00pm on Saturday afternoon. We encourage you to stay informed and prepared as we continue to monitor the situation closely. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time. We are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our students and community.
