Keeping Us Connected with Campus and PTA News
Changes on the Horizon
We are beginning to work on each students class schedule, making balanced classes that prioritize keeping siblings on the same schedule, optimizing specialized support a student might need and factoring in childcare as we are able.
If you have not already done so, you can watch the elementary hybrid model webinar here.
On Thursday, March 4th at 7 PM, Principal Eichert will be joining the District in be holding a live general question and answer session for all TK-12 families. This event is intended to answer general questions. You may access the general Hybrid Reopening Q&A Zoom link here. The event will be recorded and available for viewing in the COVID-19 Hub and Hybrid Learning sections of the PCS website.
This week additional tables arrived on campus, we reviewed the hybrid survey data, made plans for shared spaces and started digging into the details to make all of this happen. More updates to come, thank you for your support and flexibility.
