How does the mastery gate work?

Score 85% or higher on your first attempt inside a 24-hour window and the gate opens. Retakes inside the same window are practice and do not count. A new first attempt is available after 24 hours.

Is this the official gradebook?

No. Canvas is the official record. This is a study application that enhances the PGCC curriculum; it does not replace it. It recommends, it does not guarantee.

For families — the Dinner Table Question

Every module ends with one question to ask at home. No answer key, no grade — just a conversation.

Module 2: Why might a school keep student Wi-Fi on a different network from the staff network?

En español: ¿Por qué una escuela pondría el Wi-Fi de estudiantes en una red diferente a la del personal?
