The Resource Directory shared by the Powhatan County Public Schools Parent Resource Center (PCPS-PRC) provides information to connect family and community members, and PCPS Staff, with local providers and resources. It is important to keep in mind that individual experiences with providers may vary from one individual or family to another.  The list will be updated as new resources are identified.  Inclusion in this online Resource Directory is not to be considered an endorsement by Powhatan County Public Schools or the PCPS-PRC.
