Academic Excellence and Achievement Every Scholar, Every Class, Every Day!
Mock Day/Orientation Follow-Up
Mighty Bulldogs,
We have been informed, due to the sensitivity of information presented, students
MUST log into meetings with their PGCPS emails or you will not have access to meetings. (This is why you may have been asked for meeting codes today and not permitted access to the meetings).
Please make sure that scholars are signed into their PGCPS email account (even if they use a non-PGCPS issued device) so that they will have access to their classes on Monday.
What to do if your child is unable to access their PGCPS email account:
Reset online: Visit https://idm.pgcps.org/ and follow the steps to reset the password.
For those who are experiencing the configuration issue, the technology office is aware of this systemic concern and found a solution. Restart the device and you should be able to log into the Chromebook at this time.
Thank you for working through this with us! TOGETHER we will be successful!

Distance Learning Handbook
The purpose of this handbook is to compile, in one place, the policies, procedures and forms that will enable Brandywine Elementary scholars to successfully fulfill his/her responsibilities during Virtual Learning. It has been prepared with the sincere hope that it will be used as a ready reference by families with concerns related to classroom procedures, administration policies and organization norms.
Suggestions on how to become better acquainted with your scholar(s), how to learn about school routines and procedures, and how to secure professional help are included.
The adopted policies are subject to modification, as situations require. The need may arise for revision of this handbook. Feel free to offer suggestions. It is only through cooperative efforts of everyone concerned that we hope to create a wholesome atmosphere/environment for all.
