Don’t Miss PGCPS Calls & Texts
In order to receive all important messages from PGCPS and C. Elizabeth Rieg parents and guardians should be registered for a ParenVUE Portal account. This ensures you will receive attendance messages and can also monitor your child's progress in school on a regular basis. School messages and PGCPS messages use your ParenVUE Portal information to send messages. You can also sign up for SchoolMessenger to receive texts related to inclement weather and school closings.
If you are not receiving text messages (such as inclement weather closings) you may need to update your information in ParenVUE. Parents should ensure all contact information including home, cell, and work phone numbers and email addresses are up to date in ParenVUE.
Contact Ms. Gabrielle @ gabrielle.aquino@pgcps.org or Ms. Samuels @ rashida.samuels@pgcps.org to update the following information:
- Address
- Phone Number
- Email Address
Also, add PGCPS’ main number (675-87) as a contact in your phone to avoid our alerts being flagged as spam.
Communication Logs and Class Dojo
Each student will receive a communication book. The classroom teacher and parent(s) or guardian(s) may use the book or agree to communicate using another communication system (i.e., Class Dojo, email, or another type of log). This will foster the home/school partnership. Most importantly, daily communication will assist with giving our students a voice!
Take-Home Folders
Students will bring home various information as provided. This concept is designed to provide parent(s) or guardian(s) with ongoing updates regarding school activities and programs, community events and resources, and Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) information. Please review the materials and resources in the student's bookbag and return all requested content (where applicable) to school the next day in your student's book bag.
Calls During School Hours
We encourage participation and ongoing communication with your student's classroom teacher. However, a message will be taken for non-emergency calls during the instructional day. All phone messages will be returned within 48 hours, given that the individual called was present. Calls made for the guidance counselor, school nurse, or Principal will be transferred, provided their availability. Any messages received will be returned within 48 hours.
Email Communications
We encourage ongoing communication with your student's classroom teacher, specialist, and administrative team. E-mail communication is our main source of communication. Please note that parent(s) and guardian(s) must provide written permission for our team to provide meeting notices, individual education plans etc. via email.
