Operative words

To support safe learning and work environments, PGCPS has implemented universal mask-wearing in all schools and offices, COVID-19 vaccination and testing policies, and strict cleaning and sanitizing protocols. All employees are required to either show proof of COVID vaccination or undergo weekly testing. Although the majority of the school system's 132,000 students will return to in-person learning, five days a week, PGCPS is serving some students virtually.
