Safety Screening Technology
https://www.pwcs.edu/departments/risk_management/safety_screening_technology/index
Implementation of the new safety screening technology will begin on September 18, 2023.
- The building will open at 6:55 a.m. (30 minutes prior to the start of school)
- We will have one entry into the building - Door #1
While none are prohibited, using these guidelines will ensure a quick entry for everyone:
- Select clear and plastic school supplies over covered/concealed and metallic when applicable.
- Use three-ring binders with plastic spines/rings (non-metal).
- Use plastic (versus metallic) BPA-free water/coffee bottles. *
- Use hard plastic eyeglass cases (versus metal).
- Students should pack lightly and limit the number of items in bags or other equipment.
- Keep superfluous metallic items home (game consoles, beauty products, USB drives).
- Laptops and umbrellas will be passed around the technology via a staffed table

🕖 ATTENDANCE 🕝
***Attendance office is in the Main Office***
- Early dismissals: PLAN AHEAD- When possible, schedule your students’ appointments when school is not in session. – If you do intend to sign your student from school during the day, you may send your student in with an early dismissal note. Students may hand this to our attendance admin assistant before the school day begins. We will confirm the note and the student may return before the dismissal to obtain their pass. Your student may meet you outside at the designated time.
- All notes to attendance, must include student name, student id, parent name and phone number. This information must match the information we have in our school system. Please write the information clearly.
- Excuse absences; submit your excuse absences via parent vue.

Student Device Insurance - RECOMMENDED
Click here for more information on insurance for your student's digital device. https://www.pwcs.edu/departments/information_technology/device_handbook/device_insurance/index
Parents/guardians have the option to purchase low-cost student device insurance through the PWCS-approved third-party vendor, Securranty.
If purchased, the insurance covers unlimited repairs or replacements for everything from broken screens, lost chargers, and accidental damage, with a zero deductible for one year on a school-issued device. The insurance cost is $29.95, which may be significantly less than repair or replacement costs without insurance.
Replacement costs (up to $308) for damaged or lost devices can be found in the PWCS Parent/Student Digital Device Handbook.
Insurance must be purchased within 30 days of your student receiving their device (and before any failure, damage or loss occurs to the device).
