Hello Pau-Wa-Lu Families,

This letter is to provide you with information on the return process for student materials.  We will be having our student material drop off next week, June 1-4, at PWL.  This will be your opportunity to drop off your chromebooks, chromebook chargers, textbooks, library books, work packets, novels, instruments, and other miscellaneous items.  Please remove the cover from your chromebook.  

This is also your opportunity to pick up your student's yearbook. You MUST turn in your chromebook to receive your yearbook.   You may purchase a yearbook at this time if you haven't already.  Yearbooks will be $30. CASH (exact change) OR CHECK ONLY PLEASE.  

We will be asking families to drive up to the curb (like you are dropping off a student) where there will be 4 tables.  We will ask you to wait in your car until a table or spot opens up.  When a table opens up you will drive up to that table, get out of your car with your students materials, and place those items on the table.  PWL staff will then take care of those items and give you a yearbook if you have purchased one (upon chromebook return).  

Below is a schedule that we ask you follow so as to expedite the process as much as possible.  It is broken down into time slots by alphabet.  Please review this prior to coming to the school.  There are a couple of important notes. If you cannot make your allocated time slot,  please come at your convenience.  This is just a guideline.  You can also call the school to make arrangements if you need to.  If you have two students you do not need to come two separate days.

• You must wear a face covering

• You may NOT leave your vehicle other than to put materials on the table

• Each item you are returning (books, etc.) must have your full name and your teacher’s full name on a piece of paper tucked inside the front cover or attached somehow to the item.  Please do this prior to your assigned time.  We will not have pens and paper available.

SCHEDULE for GRADES/DAYS:  by last name alpha

6th Grade - Monday, June 1 (see below for time)

7th Grade - Tuesday, June 2 (see below for time)

If you cannot make it at your specific time slot please come at another time that works for you but please try to stick to your specific grade level day if possible or come on Thursday.   If any of these times do not work for you please call the school at 775-265-6100 x.2605, and we can make any arrangements necessary.  

For everyone’s safety, we ask that you follow the instructions of the PWL staff.  Thank you.

To the PWL family ~ WE MISS YOU!

Good Afternoon Panther Families-
This is Mr. Olguin with your Daily Update during the school closure.
The following are a few things to keep in mind: 

1. As you are aware the school calendar has been adjusted and schools will continue with the Distance Learning process until Friday, May 29. During this time minimal staff will be on site to assist families, please call (775)-265-6100 if you have questions or concerns.
2. Teachers will continue their digital office hours from 9:30 am - 2:30 pm. The best way to contact the teacher will be through email.  If you are unable to contact your teacher via email, please call (775)-265-6100.
3. Douglas County School District will be issuing second semester credit toward Promotion from middle school.  It is important that every student make every effort to participate and complete assigned work.  Students choosing not to participate and complete work will not receive credit for those classes and run the risk of potential retention in their current grade level.
4. We will be sending out information regarding the return of Chromebooks, Packets, Textbooks, Instruments, etc. so please look to the website and/or I/C for that information.

Free Student meals will continue to be available for pickup each week on Mon./Wed.//Fri. from 9:00 am - 11:00 am at the back of the Cafetorium.

And finally, we will answer question we have been receiving regarding Yearbooks, student medication kept on site, Student belongings still in P.E. lockers as well as work packet for the last weeks of school for those students without access to the internet.
