Greetings West End families! Our school has partnered with the Parent ProTech organization to provide resources for your family to stay safe and actually thrive online. It's tough navigating all of the changing apps, games. and social media out there- and we want to help you through it. Our goal is for 100% of our West End families to sign-up for this FREE resource (to you), that we've purchased until the end of the 2025-2026 school year. To sign-up, simply click this link to get started: https://www.parentprotech.com/36/337/2023-2024/schooldistrictofpickenscounty/en/signup Let Mrs. Simpson know if you have any questions or feedback for us about this. We hope to have the Parent ProTech folks back with us soon to share more with you.
