Pike Road Intermediate

Patriot Families,
Due to potential icy conditions, we will delay the start of school by 2 hours tomorrow morning. We are mindful of our staff and faculty who commute from outside of the area, and the safety of our young drivers traveling in these conditions. We encourage parents to use their best discretion based on the conditions in their specific area.
Buses will run 2 hours later than usual, and schools will open 2 hours after their regular start time. Please note that breakfast will not be served.

📌 We are continuing to monitor the weather and are staying updated with current EMA and local forecasts. Because many of our teachers and staff travel from outside the Pike Road area, we evaluate conditions across a wide region when making safety decisions.
You will be notified via email, text messages, and phone calls if any changes are made to the school schedules.

📌 Pike Road Schools is closely monitoring weather patterns for potential inclement weather early next week. Our priority is the safety of our learners and staff. At this time, there are no changes to our schedule. If any changes occur, we will notify you immediately via email, text, and phone calls.

Pike Road Schools welcomes Dr. Mona Hurston as the newest member of the Board of Education. Dr. Hurston brings extensive experience in PreK–12 and higher education, with expertise in educational leadership, data-driven decision-making, and student supports that promote academic success.

A Pike Road native and proud PRS parent, Dr. Hurston is committed to supporting the district’s continued growth and excellence.
