March 2019

During the COVID-19 closure, students can access a variety of instructional websites.  For personalized accounts, it's recommended that students log in through their Clever accounts, by going to https://clever.com/in/pwcs and logging in either with their Clever badge (provided by their teacher) or with their computer login credentials.  Students' logins are the userid followed by @pwcs-edu.org and their passwords are the same ones they use at school.  Students in grades 2 should use badges whenever possible.

During the 2019-20 school year, PWCS students in grades K-12 will again have their own logins and passwords for Microsoft Office 365.  Our students in grades K-5 will have access to the Microsoft Office suite of software, and students in grades 3-5 will also have email accounts.

To learn more about this program, please see the PWCS Microsoft Office 365 FAQ webpage.

Second-grade students will each have access to Kindles, provided through last year's generous SPARK grant.  

We have purchased many new laptops this year, including a set of laptops and a charging cart provided by our PTO.
