 Sign up for live, virtual Canvas training
Canvas is the Learning Management System for all PreK-12 students in PWCS. Parents and guardians will have Canvas accounts linked to their student, or multiple students, giving them access to course data, student grades, assignments, events and course interactions.

Scheduled sessions for “Parent Pointers – an Overview of Canvas" at 7 p.m. on:

 Food resources for PWCS students
Since school buildings were closed in March, our food services team has provided nearly one million grab-and-go meals to Prince William County families. PWCS will continue to provide curbside pickup meals through the remainder of the summer and once the school year begins.
Be on the lookout for updates regarding food distribution times and locations.
 Let's celebrate the start of this historical school year with one tradition that will never change — the sharing of your first-day-of-school photo(s). Follow these steps:
1. Make a sign! Show off your first-day-of-school spirit.
- My #PWCS1stDay
- Ready for my #PWCS1stDay!
- PWCS students can do VIRTUALLY anything.
- OR, use any positive sayings about starting the 2020-21 school year.
2. Take a picture! Hold up your sign, and snap away. Don't forget to smile!
3. Email us your photo(s) to submit@pwcs.edu
4. Post your photo(s) on social media during the day on September 8
using #PWCS1stDay. We’ll share as many as we can on Facebook, Instagram, and
Twitter.
