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). 🇺🇸
