District Communications

At PCM, we believe effective communication is essential to our partnership with families and our community. We use the following platforms to communicate information. Please keep reading to find out where you can find what you need to know.

PCM Website

The pcsmschools.org website houses a wealth of district information. While we do post some news here, its purpose is to house school policies, contact information, resources for students, staff, and families, and any other basic information about our school.

 

In addition to our main PCM district pages, each school also has websites so you can find specific information about the building your student attends. Simply click Schools on the top menu then choose the desired school.

Email

We use email to communicate many things with parents:

  • Important messages from administrations, including newsletters and building and district updates.
  • Weather/emergency communications.
  • Invitations for special events and meetings.
  • Reminders about conferences.
  • Student account information including registration information, and food service and other fees.

 

Families, please make sure you have provided an email you check regularly. Emails will be sent to the address you have linked to your Infinite Campus account. You can either check your info on Infinite Campus or contact a building secretary.

 

Community members: You can receive newsletters and messages from administrators as well! If you would like to receive district emails please send your email address to Cathy DeHaai at [email protected]

The PCM App

The PCM app is a convenient way to access PCM information on your mobile device. Here are just a few things you can find on the app:

  • Events and District Calendar: Stay up to date with all the latest events happening in the PCM School District. You can find all the games and events in Bound by clicking the Events icon. (Please note: Events canceled in Bound will still appear in the PCM app. We encourage you to check Bound if you are unsure of an event’s status.)
  • Lunch Menu: Access the daily lunch menu conveniently from your mobile device.
  • Push Notifications: Receive phone alerts for PCM events, weather updates, cancellations, and other important announcements.
  • Contact Information: Easily contact our school or staff using the app!
  • Virtual Backpack: You’ll stay informed about events happening in our community because the app connects to our Virtual Backpack.
  • More to Come: As we roll out the app, we will add more features!

Facebook & Instagram

Our district and school Facebook and Instagram pages have main two purposes:

  • We use it to celebrate! PCM has so many great things happening every day. Facebook allows us to share those with you! Please remember to Like and Share!
  • We also use Facebook as a second line of communication. While we do not post everything we send via email, we do put school closings/delays, links to newsletters, and reminders on our Facebook pages.
