Introduction
This Guide for families is meant to assist elementary families in
using the systems at the elementary level needed during
remote learning.
Technology changes rapidly, especially at the beginning of
each new school year. Changes will be made to this guide
throughout the school year as new information presents itself
and as quickly as this guide can be updated.
PCCS also has the
home learning hub
available as a one stop
shop for technology assistance. Many links in this handbook
will reference the Home Learning Hub.
If you need to request a device for your student, please go
here
.
If you have further questions that this handbook does not help
email Mrs. Way, Bentley’s media specialist at
or email the tech department at
[email protected]
.
