Some students will return to campus Monday

Some students will be able to return to class on Monday, after missing one week of school after a tornado ripped across the campus of Perry County School District 32. 

All students who attend Perryville Primary Center (Grades PK-2), Little Pirates, and the Early Childhood Special Education program; and the 3-hour block students and CEO Program students who attend Perryville Area Career and Technology Center will resume classes Monday, March 24, for regular hours. 

Perryville Elementary School students (Grades 3-5) will resume classes on Wednesday, March 26, for normal hours. Adventure Club will also resume normal hours of operation on Wednesday. 

Perry County Middle School (Grades 6-8) and Perryville High School students (Grades 9-12 with the exception of 3-hour block students who attend the Career Center) cannot resume classes yet. Regular updates will be provided about the status of those students. 

Bus service will be provided for Primary, 3-hour block, and CEO Program students beginning Monday. Buses will begin picking up elementary students on Wednesday. Drivers will do their best to pick-up and drop-off at the normal times, but parents are asked to anticipate that buses may be a few minutes off the normal schedule. 

PHS students who drive to campus for 3-hour block programs and the CEO program should park at the Career Center. PHS students who ride the bus will be allowed to stay at the Career Center all day if needed. 

Families who have been displaced and need bus service at a new address should contact the Transportation Department by calling 573-547-7500 Ext. 1790.
