Inclement Weather PESS FAQ's

Inclement Weather:  In case of inclement weather, here is the general outline Portland Evening & Summer Scholars (PESS) will follow:

1. if PPS is closed for the day:  no PESS classes.

2. if PPS closes early and cancels all evening events (basketball, choir, etc):  no PESS classes. 

3. if PPS has a full day of classes but inclement weather is a possibility for the evening time:  a decision will be made by 3pm for PESS classes.

4. if PPS has late opening:  we will have PESS classes.

5. if PPS moves daytime classes to a virtual platform due to weather, PESS will do the same.  

Here is how our office will communicate these decisions: 

1. We will send out a message to all students/parents informing them of what our plans are. 

2. Administrators will send an all-staff email informing them what our plan is.  

3. Our website will be updated with a banner along the top indicating our plan is.
