Back to School

There will be several Materials Pick Up Days during which students can collect instructional materials from the school. Parents and students will receive detailed information about our Materials Pick Up Days along with an appointment times by email.

At this time, we recommend you consider setting up a clean, quiet space at home for your student to focus on their learning.  Students should have access to paper, pens and pencils, and our school will be providing BinderReminders (student planners).  While not required, it would be ideal for students to have supplies at home that are similar to the supplies that they would use at school.  Here is a Supplies List from 2019-20.  I hope it gives you some ideas about the organizational materials and supplies that students would find helpful. 

As we are launching the new school year in a remote learning environment, PAUSD is committed to providing all students with a laptop to access instruction and communicate with teachers.

We want every student to know how to "drive safely" on the Internet. Soon after school starts, each student will see a "Digital Driver's License" quiz for their grade level.

Students will earn a Digital Citizenship badge if they get 85% of the questions right. Students with badges will be entered into a drawing for prizes.

Is your child ready to take the challenge? Here are the rules:

• Students may learn about the answers from games like Digital Compass, other reliable web sites, and talking to friends and family about topics in the Common Sense Toolkit.
• No matter how they learned it, THEY need to know WHY the answers are correct.
• They can repeat the quiz up to 10 times. Their highest score for the whole quiz is the score that counts.

You may have received an email message from Lifetouch, the organization who helps our school with student photos. Students will be taking their school photo as well as picking up textbooks, laptops and other supplies during our Materials Pick Up Days.  With this in mind, please plan for your student to take their school picture during their visit.  For more information about school photos, please visit the Lifetounch website and enter the code: EVTVCMR2R.
