Good afternoon,

Polk County Public Schools will be able to proceed with our reopening plans tomorrow.

Monday, Sept. 18, will be a teacher work day. Teachers, school-based administrators, district staff, and all others who normally work on teacher work days should report as usual.

Students and paraeducators will return on Tuesday, Sept. 19. School buses will be running on Tuesday.

We appreciate the community's support following Hurricane Irma, and look forward to reopening our doors and welcoming our students back to school. Thank you again for your patience and understanding during this past week.
