PCSD Weekly Notifications
August 8th, 2022
Welcome back everyone! We are excited about a fresh start to a new school year. In celebration to a new beginning, the communications and web team have launched a new employee website. We have reviewed our employee website along with several other district’s websites and combined the best features and most used resources. Our revamped employee website organizes and indexes your work-related resources, news, notifications, forms and documents. We have also created a new employee-specific calendar, which includes contract dates, district events, professional development and term breaks. And the best part is….you can subscribe to this Google Calendar! Take a moment to explore our new employee website. Information by Shauna Sprunger

We are in the last week of open enrollment! The final day to make your elections for the upcoming school year is on Friday August 12th (benefits begin September 1). We are holding a computer lab on August 10th from 9:00 until 4:00 in the boardroom at the district office. The benefits are the same as last year, so there is no benefit fair, but if you have questions, someone will be there to answer them. Or contact Erika Halford at erikaha@provo.edu.
