Adjustments to Instructional Minutes for Minimum Days While in Remote Learning: Beginning Friday, October 30, 2020 |
During remote learning, minimum days need to meet the daily minute requirement set for in Senate Bill 98. Requirements for each grade level span is as follows, 180 for TK/K, 230 for 1st - 3rd, and 4th -5th 240 minutes. Current minimum day schedules do not meet this minute requirement, therefore teachers will adjust their daily schedules to have synchronous instruction (live interaction on zoom/google meets) to occur in the morning and asynchronous work (independent work) scheduled for the remainder of the day. Individual schools will share modified bell schedules as applicable. |

Thank You for an AMAZING Week of the Stars 2020 |
We had such a fun week celebrating teachers and coming together as a community to support teaching and learning in PUSD. Thank you to everyone who participated in PPIE’s Week of The Stars. We are pleased to announce that we raised over $70,000 (net) for our schools; thanks to our sponsors, donors, and participants.

Every year PPIE provides grants to fund up to $500 for student projects or special events that support student achievement in all areas. This year, projects should also support the PUSD Strategic Plan mission: “Our students will make a better world.” We are looking forward to your submissions and anticipate that while this year is unique, we will still be able to support our students in their independent projects in a new way. Grant applications are open through November 13.

How To Recognize Signs of Bullying |
Students who are bullied often fly under the radar and are too embarrassed to share with adults what is going on at school. It is important for parent or caregivers to keep an eye out for warning signs, such as coming home with unexplained injuries or missing belongings, making excuses to skip school, changes in friend groups, talking about suicide, acting out of character, avoiding certain places, having trouble sleeping, low self-esteem, and changes in eating habits. parent or caregivers can support their students by gently bringing up the topic of bullying if they observe any of these red flags. To learn more about how you can respond to bullying as a parent or caregiver, check out the Captain Compassion website, created by the Committee for Children. Brought to you by your PBIS School Social Workers in honor of National Bullying Prevention Month.
