The Cobb County Schools and PMES websites also have information.

The school sent out the following information via email recently:

As we move to week two of digital learning, expect your child’s teacher to reach out via video, Skype, Zoom, or some other online portal.

During week three and beyond if needed, it is our plan for staff introduce new priority standards from Quarter 4 from each content area. Expect short video mini-lessons taught by our grade level teachers that your students can watch online and/or other online learning clips their teacher provides. They will also provide follow-up practice opportunities during this time so students can both learn new concepts and get feedback on their work. As of this time, we are still staying with our county recommended 1 hour a day of work for our K-2 students and 2 hours per day for our 3rd-5th grade students.
