PBCSD School Campuses to Reopen September 21
With Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Executive Order for Palm Beach County to move to Phase Two, the School District of Palm Beach County will reopen brick and mortar schools to in-person instruction on Monday, September 21.
Students in pre-K through grade 12 self-contained ESE programs and ESE special schools, who choose to do in-person instruction, can return to school campuses on Wednesday, September 16. Those specific families will receive a phone call from their school with follow-up details.
Parents can choose to have their children remain in distance learning if they prefer to do so. Parents and guardians are asked to “Make Your Choice” by logging in to their child’s Student Portal and filling out a brief survey indicating if their child will be returning to campus or remaining in distance learning.
Make Your Choice!
Those of you wishing to continue with distance learning may certainly do so, while those of you wishing to have your children return to campus for in-person instruction will also have that option.
Parents, we would appreciate it if you could let us know your choice as soon as you are comfortable doing so. If you later change your mind about your choice of instruction for your child, you can return to the Portal to indicate your change. You will need to allow seven days for the change to take effect.
