What a great second week of Virtual Learning! Looks like we will continue to move forward with Virtual Learning through May 1st. Thank for all you are doing to help your children navigate through this new way of learning and know we are there for them and for you! We miss our students like crazy!
We will be moving into Phase 3 beginning April 6. Thank you for your patience and partnership! Stay in contact and let us know how to help!
Our goal for next week for Pathblazers is for students to be able to access it, become familiar with it, and if possible try some lessons.

a. To log in to Google, click on the sign in icon located in the top right corner.
b. Username is the student’s standard PISD username with @mypisd.net added. For example, Jane Doe’s standard username is jane.doe.1, so her Google login would be jane.doe.1@mypisd.netc. Password is the student’s standard password from school (4Mav#xxxxxx) The xxxxxx stands for their Student ID number.
