Outstanding Fees and Report Cards
URGENT-ODE Technology Survey
Dear Pickerington Parents and Guardians,
The Ohio Department of Education, in preparation for whatever the educational landscape looks like during the 2020-2021 school year, has asked that all school districts collect the following technology information from all students.
1. Does your student have access to a device (personal or school-issued) in order to participate in online/remote learning?
2. Does your student have access to the Internet when at home?
This information will help the Ohio Department of Education determine the best course of action with recent Federal funds to support remote learning.
Please fill out the below survey for each of your students separately. A reminder that the PLSD student ID# is the same as the student's lunch code.
Deadline for this information is Tuesday, May 26th

FYI - PLSD does have plans already in place for every K-12 student to have a PLSD issued device for the 2020-2021 school year. More information will be released at a later date.
TGMS Yearbook Distribution
Yearbook distribution will take place during the following times. There are two time slots to choose from:
Tuesday, May 19 5:00-6:00 pm
Thursday, May 21 10:00-11:00 am
In order to keep traffic to a minimum we are asking that families whose last names begin with A-M come in the first 30 minutes of the hour and families whose last names begin with N-Z come in the last 30 minutes.
If you did not order a yearbook and would still like to purchase one, we have a limited number of extras that can be purchased for $20 during the pick up times. These yearbooks will be sold on a first come first serve basis. If you would like to purchase one please have a check ready made payable to “TGMS PTO”
If you have any questions regarding yearbooks please contact Lindsey Morgan at lindsey.morgan3@gmail.com
