PCHS Weekly Updates
December 17, 2021
Message from Principals McBride & Woods
PCHS Community,
A heartfelt happy holidays from the entire PCHS staff! It was a spirited week this week with door decorations, spirit days, a student-led fashion show, a photo fundraiser over lunches, gift exchanges, donation drives, and alumni visits. We were even serenaded in the Commons between every class today! While there is a heck of a lot going on around us in the world right now, there are also so many beautiful moments every single day here on campus at PCHS. We are blessed with wonderful students, supportive families, and a stellar staff. We wish each and every one of you a restful winter break spent with those you love and will see you in 2022!

Latest MDHHS Guidelines for Managing Covid Exposure
In the Event of Quarantine - How to Engage in Learning from Afar
All of our teachers are using Google Classroom this year. Google Classrooms will be updated regularly and in a way that students can access resources and assignments from anywhere with the internet.
Every teacher's Google Classroom will be organized in the following ways:
- A daily agenda posted in the Stream (which is the landing page of the Classroom), and potentially in the Classwork area
- Syllabus posted in a Classroom Materials section in Classwork
- Resources and assignments organized in a logical manner in Classwork (i.e. by day, week, unit, or project)
We will be working together as a staff to continue to improve our Google Classroom approach so that students can continue their learning with relative ease if quarantined. Your feedback will continue to be appreciated to inform this process.
A Note Re: Quarantine Attendance
Students in quarantine will have their attendance proactively entered by our Main Office. It will be marked with an "M" with the note of Covid quarantine, so teachers know this is the situation and can support these students accordingly.
A reminder that the best defense against quarantine is vaccination!
