Remote Learning Tools For Parents and Students

Here are list of the online tools we will use to implement our Remote Learning:

PupilPath - You can view grades and assignments (the Parent Coordinator can create new accounts for parents and create & re-register student accounts). You can also email teachers directly from PupilPath about any academic questions you may have.

Google Classroom - Students must use their PGMS email to login to their Google Classroom account. This is where teachers will post and check Remote Learning assignments.

Class Dojo - After you (the parent) create an account, you must request access to your child's class. Just follow the prompts and directions. You may also email your child's advisor for any assistance. This will be used mainly to communicate with parents by class and for teachers to post relevant updates to parents.

Zoom Conferencing - It is also recommended that you (the parent) download the Zoom App as we may also conduct live conferences with Parents.

PGMS566.org - Pelham Gardens Middle School will post schedules and documents that parents and students will need on the Documents and Form Page.

There are more Remote Learning resources we will use. This just an overview and will be updated .
