NEW Take Home Computer Distribution Information

If you missed our 3 day take home computer opportunity, you can still get a computer through 5 district regional sites.  You will need to contact Cross Bayou School at 727-547-7834 and ask the secretary to complete the Regional Device Distribution Form to pre-register your student for a computer to get ready at one of the five district sites.  Yoiu will need to provide the Student Name, Contact Phone number, and which site you'd like to go to.  The closest one to Cross Bayou is the Administration Building in Downtown Largo at 301 4TH St. SW Largo, FL 33770.  The other sites are Coachman Service Center, Meadowlawn Service Center, Ozona Service Center, and the Title I Center.  The regional sites will be open Friday, March 27th and Monday, March 30th from 8-10 AM and 2-4 PM.  In subsequent weeks, Regional sites will be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8-10 AM or 2-4 PM for device distribution and repairs.

If you have an existing device at home, you can use it to access Clever and Microsoft Teams.   Here's how to do it:

• Go to pcsb.org
• Click on the Clever logo (the big C on the top left of the page)
• Click on login with Active Directory
• It will ask for login email address  (it is your child's username:  r2.d2 with @pcsb.org at the end.  Ex: r2.d2@pcsb.org)
• It will ask for their password (it is their s. and 8 digit number.  Ex:  s.17008331)
• You are NOW into Clever.  You will see TEAMS near the bottom to do Virtual Learning with your teacher.

Any existing device that can access Clever and the Internet will work. If you already have such a device and would like Microsoft office (including Teams) on your own personal computer, please visit o365.pcsb.org.  It will ask for a login email.  Use your students login ID (r2.d2) with the @pcsb.org at the end.  Example:  r2.d2@pcsb.org   You will then need to enter the student email address and password (s. #).  Once you are in, you will see the install Office button on the top RIGHT side.  Click it and download for FREE.

If you have any concerns or special needs, please contact the school at 547-7834 or email Mr. Wirth at wirthr@pcsb.org and leave a phone number to call you back.  We want to ensure all families have the necessary technology and Internet access to engage in online learning while school is closed.

Again, see our website for more information or contact the school via telephone at 547-7834 with questions. I will continue to keep our families updated. Thank you for your patience and flexibility. We are a strong community and I know we will continue to support each other as we move forward.
