The Backpack, October 30, 2020
Welcome to "The Backpack," Port Townsend School District's new e-Newsletter.
This year, there is more information than ever about district services and programs, and since we cannot send it all home with kids in the traditional backpack mail, we are adding “The Backpack” e-news to help provide a one stop for district announcements.
We will continue to send urgent and important information using the School Messenger Communicate system, in addition to the more regular information in “The Backpack”. The e-news will be posted on the district website and will go out via email and text.

COVID-19 Dashboard
On the Coronavirus Information Page we now have a COVID-19 Dashboard updated as information is received by the district. The dashboard tracks positive cases or close contacts in quarantine across students and staff. The district will send out all district notification via School Messenger of any positive lab confirmed COVID-19 cases in students or staff of the Port Townsend School District.
