🌸🐰 Hopping into the Weekend! 🐰🌸
There’s NO SCHOOL tomorrow — Friday, April 18, 2025! 🎉
Enjoy your 3-day weekend full of sunshine, sweet treats, and springtime vibes! 🌷☀️🍬
We’ll see you Monday, bright-eyed and ready to bloom! 🌼📚


The district calendar for 2025-2026 will be posted soon on our website; however, the state is still contemplating changes to the school calendars, so we may have to revise ours to follow the new guidelines once their decision has been made.


The Pottsville School District storm shelters at the jr high and high school will be open if there is a tornado warning issued later tonight. Unfortunately at this time the elementary safe room is still without electricity and unavailable at this time.


ALL Pottsville Schools will dismiss 2 hours early due to incoming storms and lack of power at two safe rooms.


April is officially designated the Month of the Military Child! We are so proud of our military kids and families!
The theme "Purple Up!" encourages people to wear purple to show their support for military children.
Purple is a combination of the colors of the different military branches (red for Marines, green for the Army, and blue for the Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard). 🇺🇸


Pottsville School District is proud to introduce our new Superintendent, Mr. Shane Thurman, effective July 1! 🎉

We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Thurman to this new role and look forward to his leadership in continuing Pottsville’s tradition of excellence! Join us in congratulating him! 🎉📚🏫
