Attendance Update - Please Click on Button Below to Review
After numerous conversations with teachers throughout the first two weeks of class we wanted to provide some updates, modifications, and reminders for our attendance procedures.
Note:
- This was shared with all PGMS staff on September 11th
- **During attendance, please make sure your students know what letter day it is**
Important New Safety Procedure at PGSD
As we transition back into the buildings, the District will be instituting a new procedure to help us create the safest work environment possible. Below is a link to a Google form we will be requiring everyone to fill out prior to coming to work in any of our buildings.
Again, this is mandatory prior to any day you are working in person in one of our buildings. The survey is quick and the questions ask about potential COVID-19 symptoms as well as if you have had contact with COVID -19 positive individuals. This self-reporting tool is designed for everyone's safety and to help prevent the spread of the virus in the workplace. Though not perfect, it is an attempt to keep staff home who may potentially have the virus.
Update / Reminder for Special Education Department
RE: Regular education teachers regarding the new eSignature feature for IEP meetings.
Once the IEP is finalized from the district office, the eSignature link will be sent out to participants via school email. The link is active for 72 hours only. Please follow the instructions provided from the link to eSign.

Please select the following link to view a video on how to complete your gradebook setup for category and term weights. Credit for this helpful video goes to high school teacher Dan Kratz.

I would recommend you do this as soon as possible because your quarterly grades may change once the category weights have been applied to Quarter 1.
