CAMPUS ANNOUNCEMENTS
MASKS
On Monday, 3/14, PUSD had a change in the mask policy. Per the California Department of Health, masking changed from required to strongly recommended. We want to thank you for helping us to maintain a safe and respectful environment on campus knowing that students and staff members will make different choices in wearing masks. Please let us know if you have any questions or need any support.
A WORD FROM PRINCIPAL BECKER
Dear Parents: It is my pleasure to invite you to our upcoming workshop, "What I Wish My Parents Knew," held at Poway High School on March 22 from 6:30 to 8:45 PM in the Performing Arts Center. We will offer a series of interactive workshops, two of which you will select to attend, on topics identified by students as their greatest challenges today. These include:
· Managing Stress and Anxiety
· Handling Academic Pressure
· The Challenges of Social Media
· Addressing Drugs, Alcohol, and Vaping
· Establishing Guardrails
· Communicating With Your Teens
Facilitators will include principals from 7 PUSD secondary schools, and various representatives from our community. This program has been presented to more than 6000 of our parents since we began these workshops in 2012.
Please come and get involved in our discussion on March 22, and check our school website or call the front office for additional information. Thanks for addressing our most precious resource--our children.
CONTINUING STUDENT REGISTRATION
Online Continuing Student Registration will be open from March 1 - March 31, 2022. We must receive a completed digital packet for all returning students. This will allow for proper placement of your student for the 2022-2023 school year. This annual digital process will allow 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.
To access the continuing registration digital packet please click this link: https://sis.powayusd.com/packet .
