Parents Back to School Newsletter for 2020-21

MyPCS OnlineFamilies only:

Your child will be following a bell schedule with classes beginning daily at 9:40 a.m.   Attendance is to be submitted daily for all classes.   Students will have a blend of online work and computer interaction through live and recorded lessons with teachers.  At this time a web camera is not required.   Our school district is in the process of purchasing student devices for all students in grades 4-9 to allow for a 1:1 program with both our face to face students and our on-line students.   When these computers arrive, you will receive additional information.   For now, we are asking that you continue working with your personal devices and school district issued devices.    Again, web cameras are not required at the start of the year.   Teachers will have a web camera for students to view their teachers. 

We have had phone calls about no device or a broken device.  To prioritize needs, below is the link that will take you to the form that we are asking parents to submit under the following circumstances:  your child does not have a personal device at the home to use during school hours or your school district issued device is broken and is not working.    We will be collecting your information this week and contacting families with next steps.  Once again, we ask that you continue using any personal devices in the home if possible.  We thank you for your support as we work to ensure technology is available.   

Below is the link to the no-device or broken device form:
