Celtics, as we move to E-Learning during these extraordinary times, your teachers will be using a variety of apps and tools to provide instruction and to collect your assignments.
No doubt there will be technical difficulties. We expect you to seek help when needed. We will all do the best we can and adapt as necessary!
Whom to Contact for Help
- Questions regarding assignments and instruction? Email your teacher by 1:00 PM.
In most cases, teachers will respond no later than 2:00 PM that day. You can also reach out to classmates for clarification.
- For questions regarding classroom materials or apps (Teams, OneNote, FlipGrid, PhET, EdPuzzle, etc.), we recommend that you access the tutorials provided below. If you are still having trouble, email your teacher.
- If you are having technology-related issues, please contact our Technology Office Staff at techhelp@providencecatholic.org between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM. When you email, be sure to stay online so that we can reach you.
Email
Remember that you are responsible to check your PCHS email and the online platform for each class minimally at 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM each weekday! Online platforms include PlusPortal, Teams, OneNote classroom, etc. Your teacher will give you further instructions.
