    • Students will access class from their device by loging into Canvas and joining their teacher's Zoom meeting.
  • School buildings and office buildings are closed.
  • Business operations that can be conducted remotely will continue.
  • Buses will not operate.
  • The School Age Child Care (SACC) program will not open.
  • All in-person school activities (day and evening) are canceled, including field trips, team practices, club meetings, interscholastic contests, and athletic contests. 
  • All non-school activities (day and evening) are canceled, including Adult Education, evening school classes, and community use, including recreational programs scheduled in school buildings.

Homeroom teachers will share interactive learning for each content area and Encore teachers will join the homeroom teacher's Zoom link so students stay on one link.  Time is provided for students to go to the restroom between subjects and students will have a 60-minute break for lunch/recess.

Is Attendance taken?

Yes.  Students will need to turn their cameras on and participate in the class to be counted as present. Blurred or other backgrounds can be used by students. If a student has trouble logging in on a Code Orange Day, families should contact the PWCS Help Desk at 703-791-8826.
