This enables teachers to grade assignments and provides additional planning time. Employees may attend remote professional development, and business operations continue.In the event of long-duration impact (days or weeks) weather events, Code Orange may change to require real-time (synchronous) learning. Code Orange may also be used in lieu of a delayed opening. PWCS will continue to have “Code Red” days (closing all schools and operations) for significant weather impacts. More information on weather codes can be found here. 

CODE ORANGE...

• Will be used when weather conditions are marginal and impact road or sidewalk safety conditions but are not so severe as to cause substantial impacts.
• On such days, buildings will not open.
• However, employees will work remotely, students will work asynchronously (not live), and teachers will provide posted office hours for students to check-in, as needed.

ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING DAY

• School buildings and office buildings are closed.
• Buses will not operate.
• In-person and live virtual classes will not occur.
• Students should use the day to work asynchronously, via Canvas, on assignments related to curriculum previously taught.
• Teachers will hold live office hours via Zoom. Links to the zoom can be found on the main page of each teacher's canvas page. See below for the office hours schedule.
