Ponca City Public Schools adjust school calendar; won’t make up snow days

The Ponca City Public School District has made the following Board-approved modifications to the current 2018-19 school calendar.

Students will not be required to make up snow days taken on Feb. 7 and Feb. 27 because the district continues to meet the requirements of the 1080 instructional hours for state accreditation purposes.

• NO SCHOOL FOR ALL STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES (The Board has approved this day as a paid holiday for all employees which will allow them a holiday without any loss of pay.)
• All schools and offices will be closed this date.

May 20, 2019 (Snow Day #1)

For several months, the Board has been discussing calendar options regarding snow days.

The dedication and hard work from district employees is very much appreciated!  #teampcps
