• Digital Learning Days (DLD)

    The school district schedules Digital Learning Days (DLD) throughout the school year for multiple reasons. DLDs are important opportunities to prepare and practice for potential school closures, as occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, and for making critical adjustments to school operations such as bus routes and student schedules.

    The district typically schedules a DLD during the first 10 days of the school year as an unofficial emergency response drill to prepare for digital instruction during long or short-term school closings. Canvas is the district's online learning management system, and ensuring that students and families are familiar with login procedures and basic navigation is critical. A robust collection of videos is available to help students and parents learn to navigate Canvas and other essential resources.

    Additionally, before the school year starts, bus routing and student schedules are projected for enrollment and growth. However, changes to bus routes, master schedules, and teacher assignments often become necessary once students are on campus and actual student enrollment and bus ridership are determined. A DLD within the first 10 days of school supports school and district operations and adjustments, minimizing the need for disruptions later in the semester.

    The mission of the Paulding County School District is to "prepare ALL students for success today AND tomorrow." K-12 Advanced and Innovative Instruction and increasing student access to technology are strategic areas of focus for the district. PCSD's one-to-one (1:1) device initiative, STEM programming, and College, Career, and Life Readiness (CCLR) further support our students' personalized learning and digitally enhanced instructional opportunities. We are committed to your child's current and future success and appreciate your support for a solid start to the school year.

    As we approach the Digital Learning Day, please make appropriate arrangements for your students. 

    Below are two images which show the expectations for Digital Learning under two scenarios: Red Level 1 and Red Level 2. If Digital Learning is called for, either the school district or your local school will notify you which scenario is being implemented.
