The results of the survey will help PUSD identify areas it’s doing well in, as well as opportunities for growth in order to best serve students.

Mask Guidelines
As you are likely aware, the CDC on Thursday updated its guidelines regarding the use of face coverings for individuals fully vaccinated for COVID-19. As of this writing, state and county health and education officials have not issued any directions or updated guidelines in response to this change by the CDC. Masks will continue to be required in all PUSD settings for all employees, students, and visitors, as previously described. If and when this changes, we will be sure to communicate with all of our stakeholders to ensure that there is no confusion.

Parenting Tips from your School Social Worker Team |

Technology's Effect on Mental Health
It seems like mental health issues are rampant among teens today. Although there are many challenges at play that have been around for decades, there are some issues students are facing today that are new to this generation. Technology in general and specifically social media are components of teen life that previous generations did not face. In America, the average teen spends 9 hours on digital media each day. Research is showing us that the more time is spent on digital media, the worse that students are reporting feeling. Although social media and technology in themselves are not harmful, teens can definitely err on the side of using them in a destructive way. Parents or caregivers can support their students by modeling healthy relationships with technology, and specifically social media. Brought to you by your PBIS School Social Workers.
