Buses in the Konnarock, Green Cove, and Taylor's Valley area will run on a 2 hour delay today, Thursday, January 4th.
Due to construction at PHHS, there will be some minor changes for student and faculty parking and bus lane pickup/dropoff protocols. The school entrance driveway at the front of PHHS that serves as the lane for our school bus student dropoff and pickup will be shortened and re-rerouted (the new bus pathway around the front of the school will be the 1st couple rows of student/faculty parking). Students parking in the front parking lot can enter school through the rear cafeteria entrance or at the front main entrance. We ask that students and parents be mindful of the construction and potential hazards/ barriers that may occur. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.
Excited to start 2024 with a renewed energy for learning and teaching! #WashingtonWay #WCPSBest @WashCoSuper
