Poway Unified is pleased
to announce that parents of students continuing at PUSD for the 2008-09
school year will be able to update registration forms online, beginning
in early July. A Connect-Ed email message will be sent to parents as to
when they will be able to access the registration forms. Each parent
will be able to update and submit the forms online through an individual
password. Information about the passwords will be sent to parents with
the July message. There will also be updated information on the PUSD
website and on school site websites.
For security purposes,
parents will use individual passwords. The online forms do not include
Social Security numbers.
Parents will
still need to fill in and sign the Signature Verification Form and
Student Health Information form (grades 4, 7, and 10) and return these
forms to the school site on a school-site designated packet return date.
Pomerado's date to return forms is August 6th from 7am to 5pm.
For more information on
the Preschool Program please contact Alice Kemper at 858-486-9170.

Pomerado has a newStudent
Emergency Release Plan. Please make sure that you read
the procedures, so we are all prepared in case of an emergency.
Pomerado is using a system
called ConnectED to call our families with important recorded
messages. Once in a while, when listening to a message please be aware
that the background noise at the receiving end may cause the system to
stop and restart or it may cause the message to stutter and repeat. It
is calibrated very delicately to determine whether a person or an
answering machine is responding to the ConnectED phone call. If possible
move to a quiet area, or press the “mute” button on your phone. Also, if
you missed any part of a message, please stay on the line and press “*”
(star) to hear the message again.
Please take a few minutes at home to
carefully check your child’s health before he/she leaves for school each
morning. The following are a few suggestions, which may help to guide
you:
REASONS FOR KEEPING YOUR CHILD
HOME:
Illness during the night
Fever is present (100 degrees or
greater)
Complaints of nausea, upset stomach,
vomiting, headache, diarrhea prior to leaving for school
Development of a rash on face and/or
body
Has a severe cold, cough and/or sore
throat
Has inflamed eye(s) with discharge
from them
Please Remember: An ill
child cannot function properly in the classroom. The spread of
illness and disease through class or school can be more easily monitored
if sick children remain at home during the acute stage of an illness. If
the school health tech detects any of the above, your child will be sent
home.
A student’s absence should be reported
on the School Absence Hotline by calling: 858-679-2604.
Homework can also be requested on this
phone message, please indicate when you will be picking it up.
