All Prairie Central schools will dismiss THREE hours early today, Friday August 25th. Morning preschool classes will release one hour early, and afternoon preschool classes are cancelled for today. Next week looks beautiful, so we should be back to our originally scheduled one-hour early release times all next week, and then we’ll go to our regular schedule after Labor Day! It’s been an unusual start to our year. Thank you for your patience, and thank you to the staff who has been incredibly patient and flexible in an already hectic time of the school year.
Have a great weekend!

The Parent Informational Meeting for 7th and 8th grade girls interested in basketball is STILL ON for tonight, August 24, at 6:30. The location has changed to be in the JH Library.
The PCHS volleyball games scheduled for today, Thursday, August 24, will be played in the air conditioned gym at East Peoria Central Junior High, 601 Taylor Street, East Peoria, IL 61611. There will be no concessions.
The high temperatures overnight did not allow rooms to cool, and the heat index for today calls for an extremely early release, as predicted. Prairie Central Primary East and West and the High School will release at 10:10 this morning. Prairie Central Elementary will release at 10:15, and Prairie Central Upper Elementary and Junior High will release at 9:50. Preschool parents have already been notified that preschool classes have been cancelled for today.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, it looks a little better, but overnight temperatures will not fall significantly enough to cool rooms. We will most likely still need to release early. I’m predicting at least a two-hour early release, depending on temperatures in the morning, but that will be decided in the morning. We will plan to serve lunch tomorrow before sending students home for the weekend.
All preschool classes are canceled for tomorrow, Thursday August 23rd.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.

The PCHS freshman football game and girls golf match scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, August 24, have been CANCELED. As of now, the volleyball games scheduled for tomorrow at East Peoria are still on.
Good morning,
Due to predicted extreme temperatures, all Prairie Central schools will release THREE hours early today, Wednesday, August 23rd. Morning preschool classes will release one-hour early, and afternoon preschool classes are cancelled. We have moved lunch times so that all students will have lunch before they are sent home today.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, it looks like we can bet on another early out. We will continue to monitor temperatures in classrooms, and depending on this, we could possibly release even earlier. If this is the case, students would not be fed a hot lunch. Instead, as required by school code, we would offer a sack lunch for those who request it, which would be sent home with them. JUST IN CASE, we are asking parents of K-6th grade students to send a note with their children tomorrow morning if you would like to request a sack lunch for them. If there is no note in your child’s book bag tomorrow morning, we will assume you do not want a sack lunch for your child.
Again, parents of K-6th grade students are being asked to send a note with their child tomorrow to request a sack lunch in the case of an earlier than expected release time.
Stay cool and have a great day everyone.
