PAPER DRIVE

I’m reaching out to ask for your help — our school could use your support restocking copy paper to support learning in our classrooms!

FOR OUR FAMILIES WITH TK OR KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS

Beginning in the 2025-26 school year, all TK and kindergarten students will begin full-day schedules on the first day of school along with the grade 1-5 students. This means there will no longer be half-day “Kindergarten Introduction Days” during the first six weeks. TK and Kindergarten students will attend school all day and follow the same start/end times as 1st - 5th grade students.
Thank you!

READING DIFFICULTIES RISK SCREENER UPDATE

What is the CA Reading Difficulties Risk Screener?
The CA Reading Difficulties Risk Screener (RDRS) is a tool that is used annually with all K-2 students to assess their early reading skills. The RDRS is used to identify students who may be at risk of reading difficulties and need additional support in reading and literacy to ensure success in school. The RDRS screening process will begin in the 2025-2026 school year.

PUSD 2025-2026 Continuing Student Registration is open!

Online Continuing Student Registration will be open until March 31, 2025. We MUST receive a completed digital packet for all returning students. This will allow for proper placement of your student for the 2025-2026 school year. This annual digital process allows a family to complete one single “family” packet instead of completing one packet per student. Packets can be completed using any computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection.
