Pike County was selected as 1 of only 6 sites in the state to host a Community Conversation, which will focus on the most current data about Tobacco/Nicotine use by Indiana Youth. A roundtable discussion will follow a brief presentation of data. Vaping and Tobacco use impacts all of us, so we encourage you to learn more about this issue and contribute to our efforts at prevention and cessation.

Our wonderful PCSC staff has been working hard this summer and are excited for August and the return of students for the 2023-2024 school year. We know that many of you are also ready to begin your school year preparations by completing student registration, which is scheduled to open in Harmony starting JULY 28, 2023.
Registration of returning students is completed online, through your existing Harmony Family Access Portal account.

Registration Information and instructions, including password recovery, related links, and the dates and times for in-person registration, are on our website at https://www.pcsc.k12.in.us/page/student-registration
Please be aware that each school may release additional information about beginning-of-year activities that is specific to their building and of interest to you and your family. We hope you are enjoying the final weeks of Summer Break and look forward to seeing you soon!
