The ELEMENTARY yearbooks are in and just like everything else during Covid, we had to adjust to make things work. This year, we did not pre-order books. We purchased a set number and someone will be coming to each den daily to see if students would like to purchase them. Each book is $10 which can be sent as cash or a check made out to interstate studio.
Any questions, please contact Mrs. Weimer at LWeimer@portvillcsd.org
Thank you!

PCS Loves you Colt!! #COLT45STRONG
Dear Colt, WE ARE BEHIND YOU!!! Love, Your PCS Family
In light of the CDC's recommendation that children in the 12-15 age range can now be vaccinated for Covid-19, we have had quite a few calls asking if we would be holding a clinic here at the school as we did for the 16+ groups. At this point, there is no plan for the school to hold such a clinic for the 12-15 year-olds. However, if the Cattaraugus County Health Department asks us to partner with them again in offering the vaccine, we will consider it at that time. Thank you for your interest!
THERE'S STILL TIME TO SIGN UP!

This vaccination is for students ages 16 and up (with consent.) If your child has been quarantined in the past 10 days due to exposure, they can still get vaccinated. Just hit NO when you get to that question on the registration form and continue on.
