When PGCPS designates a Virtual Learning Day, teachers will conduct live lessons and/or check-ins via the Zoom portal based on the schedule to the left. Please note the single lunch time for all students and the slight adjustment to normal class times. As always, students should check their Google classroom sites for links to the Zoom sessions and specific assignment instructions from their teachers with regard to attendance and completing assignments during any period of virtual learning.
