 Return to Learn 2020-21 Guide coming soon
PWCS is developing a comprehensive Return to Learn (R2L) webpage that will guide parents and students through all the steps to begin the new school year. Everything from technology and distance learning guidelines to return to school required forms and documents will be available online through this webpage. Look for that page to launch in late August.
For the latest information now, visit our PWCS FAQ webpage
In addition to Division-wide updates, be on the lookout for return-to-learn information and announcements directly from your school.

Meet the Principal - Neil Beech
 Neil Beech has taken on the role of principal at Gainesville High School, opening in fall of 2021. Leading a new school presents both challenges and opportunities, and Beech is looking forward to both.
“Everything’s exciting about being the principal of a brand-new school,” says Beech. “I get the chance to engage the students in our community in decision-making about the culture of the school, about the mascot of the school, the programs we offer, all the way down to the furniture that goes in our classrooms, so all of that’s really interesting.”
