PGCPS Staffers Lost to COVID-19
PGCPS sends its deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Terrence Burke, professional school counselor and basketball coach at Northwestern High School, Eastern Stewart Jr., house manager at the Bowie Center for the Performing Arts, and Annis Creese, a Spanish teacher at Northwestern High School. All three died as a result of the novel coronavirus.
Distance Learning Update
Online instruction has begun with the reminder that the distance learning structure will not be equivalent to a six-hour day.
Students will receive invitations through their PGCPS student email to join classes online via Google Classroom.
Parents of PreKindergarten students will be contacted via phone with login information so they can access the link in their child’s newly created email address.
Distance learning will maintain key aspects of their classroom experience: collaboration with peers, daily lessons and experimentation with individualized and innovative techniques.
Learning activities will include independent, self-paced work, and teachers will have virtual office hours to check for understanding and submission of assignments.
Free Home Internet Access
Families new to Comcast Internet Essentials may be eligible for two months of free internet service if they live in an area where the service is available, qualify for public assistance and have not subscribed to Comcast Internet within the past 90 days.
Apply online or call 1-855-8-INTERNET (1-855-846-8376).
School Registrations for 2020-2021
Due to coronavirus-driven stay-at-home orders and continued school building closures, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten registration is postponed until students, staff and the community can safely return to buildings.
Registration for the transitional and lottery programs is also on hold.
PGCPS will continue to monitor the status of schools and provide updates accordingly.
