Please don't snow today!
Hopefully we are done with snow storms and power outages. Did you know that both campuses lost power for several days?
For updates and information about inclement weather closures can be found at the main college website at: www.schoolreport.org OR www.pierce.ctc.edu. Local TV and radio news stations will announce closures and delays. We regret that we don't have enough staff to call everyone personally when there is a closure during inclement weather and must rely on public announcements regarding campus and site closures.
