• February 13: Elementary Grading Window opens
  
• February 16: Secondary Grades due
• March 4: Elementary Grades due
• March 15: 3189 Loaner Chromebooks will be deactivated

Please remind students to completely shut down their Chromebooks at the end of every day! This will ensure their devices have received all necessary updates and that they will be able to connect to all PUSD applications without issue.

In the upcoming weeks a physical inventory of Elementary Chromebooks will take place. EdTech will be reaching out to your school site Destiny contact with more information. All staff must turn in any 3100/3110 student Chromebooks they are using, as any of these devices not checked out to a student will be deactivated. This does not include the older 3189 Chromebooks.

Although we do our best to reduce access and opportunities for students to be targeted in Phishing Scams, we encourage teachers to teach lessons on Phishing to help students be on the lookout for future schemes. Please see the links below for lessons and reach out to edtech@pusd.us if you need additional resources.

• That's Private! (Lower Elementary)
• Private & Personal Information (Upper Elementary)
• Don't Feed the Phish (Secondary)
