The Pittston Area School District will follow a two hour delay schedule on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 due to inclement weather. There are no AM CTC classes. Please continue to check the Web site for future updates.
Good afternoon! Tomorrow March 17th, the doors where our student’s normally get dropped off in the morning will be getting worked on. Parents/guardians will drop off around the back of the building where our school garden is. Please continue pulling around the school. We will have staff outside directing drop off. This gives us an opportunity to try a new drop off procedure that could potentially eliminate some traffic in the front of the building. If the new drop off is more efficient we will be using this drop off method for the remainder of the year. Thank you for your patience, and please let us know if you have any questions or concerns!
