Greetings, IB
Families,
I am reaching out because I am confident that no matter which learning platform you have selected for your child for the start of this school year, you have many questions. We have worked to put our plans in motion to get this year off to a great start for your children!
MyPCS online parents may enroll in the Canvas Parent Course. Please see the links below or on the PCSB webpage. In parallel with Canvas, we will still be utilizing ManageBac, as your children are familiar with that learning management system. Traditions are an important part of our school, and we will continue these with a twist. With the unprecedented events of this year, we must adhere to the health and safety guidelines for all our stakeholders. You can start preparing your child for returning to campus by encouraging him/her to practice wearing a mask indoors, talking about the importance of handwashing, and the need for social distancing. We will be spending time discussing these things during our first weeks of school. Please note that it is important to have a parent username and password to access Focus for information such as your scholar’s schedule and academic progress. If you do not have a username and password please contact our Mrs. Laggner in the IB Office at laggnera@pcsb.org.
We have uploaded a video to assist our freshman with navigating their rotating block schedule. If your scholar is having any difficulty, they can reach out to Mr. Frasier at frasierb@pcsb.org.
We
are excited to reconnect with our community next week! We thank you for your
support and patience as we fine-tune our work for the 1st quarter of the
year. If you would like to pre-order IB
apparel, please click on the link below! The pre-sale shirts are only available
to order from now until August 25th. We won’t have another sale for a few
months, so if you would like a shirt or sweatshirt to show your IB spirit,
please place your order before then! They are available in blue, grey or
navy. The shirts will be delivered to school in a few weeks and we will
notify you to come pick it up if you are a MyPCS student.
