What is PEPP (Poway Extended
Primary Program)? |
|
Many children entering Kindergarten
at a younger age benefit from being given additional time to develop the
self-confidence and readiness skills necessary for academic success. Poway
Unified School District offers the Poway Extended Primary Program (PEPP), a
developmental program designed primarily for our younger kindergarten
students, born between June 1st and December 2nd, and students with
individual needs who would benefit from two years in a Kindergarten class.
PEPP is not intended as a remedial program, but rather a developmentally
appropriate first year of kindergarten, preparing students for a smooth
transition to a traditional kindergarten classroom the following year.
Parents wishing to participate in the PEPP program must place their name on a
District wait list. The District begins taking names for the PEPP program on
March 1, 2006. To place your student on the wait list, call the PUSD Student
Attendance office at (858) 668-4156. |

kindergarten age requirement to
participate in PEPP? |

Yes, your student needs to be age
five by December 2, 2006 to participate in PEPP. |

What if I would like my student(s)
to attend a district other than my district of residence? |
|
The procedure for requesting an
Interdistrict Attendance Permit is as follows:
- Parent obtains Application for Interdistrict Attendance Permit (SDCOE for
341)
from district of residence.

Attendance Permit (SDCOE Form 341) and fill in the reason for request in the
space provided. Sign request.
- Obtain approval of the authorized school administrator of the district of
residence.
- Take the request form to the administrator of the school district of
desired attendance.
- Parent/guardian will be notified by mail of the final decision from the
Office of Student Attendance and Welfare on the request.
- If the request for transfer is employment related, verification of
employment is needed.
- If the request for transfer is childcare related, verification of
childcare is needed. (PUSD Form C-48).
- The request will not be approved if the additional cost to educate the
student exceeds the amount of state aid received as a result of the
transfer.
|
|
What are the justifiable reasons I
may request a transfer from my district of residence to another district? |
|
- When childcare needs of the student are met by a parent/guardian or
relative living within the district of desired attendance.
- When special mental or physical health needs, as certified by a physician,
school psychologist, or other appropriate school personnel, can be met in
the district of desired attendance.
- When the student has sibling(s) attending school in the district of
desired attendance.
- When the parents of a resident student move out of the District and the
student has been in the District for more than a year.
- When a student who currently has an Interdistrict transfer desires to move
to the next level, i.e., grade 5 to 6 or grade 8 to 9 and wishes to maintain
educational continuity.
- When the parent/guardian provides written evidence that the family will be
moving to the receiving district within the immediate future.
- When the parent/guardian of a student in grades K-8 is employed within the
boundaries of the district of desired attendance. School assignment will be
at the discretion of the receiving district and contingent upon space
availability.

|
When will I know if my request for
transfer has been approved? |
|
Review of the applications for
transfer will begin on April 1, 2006. Applicants will be notified by mail as to
the outcome of their request. At the elementary level the class sizes
Kindergarten through Grade 3 are limited to 20 students. Because of this,
decisions to approve or deny transfers for elementary students often must be
delayed until the beginning of the school year. |
|
Why do I have to wait until March
1, 2006, to apply for an Interdistrict Transfer Permit Request from PUSD to
another district? |
|
The Board approves transfers at the
Board of Education meeting in February. Following approval from the February
meeting, applications may be accepted beginning March 1, 2006.
