Hey Bobcats!

Check out our school reopening video.

Please remember to check your child's temperature before school every day. 

If above 100 degrees, stay home and rest.

Remember that all students are required to wear a mask while on campus.

Please notify our school if your child has come in contact with someone who has tested positive in the last 14 days.

For additional information about COVID-19 in children and teens, please see the CDC's page for parents and caregivers:

We are pleased to announce the reopening of PTC for in-person instruction. Students in grades TK-2 whose parents indicated that their children would be returning to school will begin on March 11.  Students in grades 3-5 will begin on March 16. Distance learning will continue for those students whose parents indicated that they will remain on distance learning.

Pathways to College K8 Charter School has submitted the COVID-19 Guidance Checklist and COVID-19 Prevention Program (CPP) to the School Safety Plan Committee, San Bernardino County, and California Department of Public Health. If you would like additional information regarding PTC's plan for reopening, please refer to the COVID-19 Safety Plan (CSP) linked below. Although the plan states that the school intends to open by February 16th, this will only occur if San Bernardino County's daily infection rate drops below 25 cases per 100,000. In all likelihood, PTC will not be able to reopen before spring 2021.

 

If you have any questions regarding the plan please contact Mr. Merrill or Mr. Quintana at (760) 949-8002 or email [email protected]

Continuity of Teaching and Learning During an Emergency

Introduction

 

A catastrophic event may result in the official suspension of face-to-face classes at Pathways to College K8. The nature of the events/disruptions will determine the conditions under which instruction may be impacted. While the specifics of the conditions may vary, one or more of the following general conditions may be the impetus for enacting the plan:

1. Loss of teaching and learning facilities including loss of public infrastructure or access to our facilities. Classes may need to be held at alternative locations or online.
2. Significant reduction in teachers, staff, and student attendance related to illness, natural disasters, or other events.
3. Need for “social distancing” to provide instruction without face-to-face contact (Pandemic).

Continuity of learning is the continuation of education in the event of a prolonged school closure or student absence. It is a critical component of school emergency management, as it promotes the continuation of teaching and learning despite circumstances that interrupt normal school attendance for one or more students. However, many considerations play a role in the development of distance learning programs, such as accessibility, type and quality of materials, and the length of time that this type of learning must be maintained. There are also a variety of potentially viable distance learning methods. The following has been prepared to outline plan description and resources that PTC has available.

Here is a guide on how to use Google Classroom:
