2020-2021 PUSD School Reopening Survey
Please respond by Tuesday, May 26
Dear PUSD Families,
We hope this message finds you and your family safe and sound. We are busily preparing for next year and would like to know what plans you have for your child if/when it is safe for our schools to begin reopening for on-campus learning. We understand that every family is in a unique situation, health and comfort level that we need to be ready to support.
This brief survey will help guide us as we design teaching and learning to meet your child's needs, either in person in a classroom, virtual classroom, or a blending of both (Blended Learning).
Please help us by taking a moment to respond to the questions below for each child who will be attending one of our PUSD schools in the fall. If you have multiple children, please re-take this survey to provide your response for each child.
In Partnership,
PUSD Reopening Team

Curbside Library Book Return – May 27
Dear parents, first of all, thanks to all who returned their library books last week. Your efforts made a huge difference!
I am offering curbside drop off for any additional library books on Wednesday, May 27 from 9:00 to 11:00 AM. If you can’t make it, email me at sfleming@powayusd.com
IMPORTANT: I am only collecting library books. Keep any borrowed iPads or Chromebooks until further notice.
Also, please do not worry about paying fines for lost materials right now. Enjoy your summer! I will follow up if necessary when in-person learning resumes.
Best wishes,
Mrs. Fleming, Librarian
Fifth Grade Promotion - Tuesday, June 2
This year, our promoting 5th graders will have the opportunity to participate in a “drive thru” parade style promotion similar to way we distributed Chromebooks and materials. The event will take place this coming Tuesday, June 2nd from 9:00 AM to approximately 1:15 PM in the main parking lot/ drop off area. In order to abide by public health and social distancing directives, the promotion ceremony is for 5th grade students and their families only.
Fifth grade families will receive additional information later this week with more specific details and directions.
School Issued Chromebooks and iPads
Due to the fluid nature of our current schooling situation, PUSD is allowing families to hold on to checked out devices beyond the end of the current school year. The only exception will be for 5th graders with a PVES owned iPad and those students who will not be returning to a PUSD school next year. We will tentatively be returning devices the week of June 8th. More details will be coming soon.
A Note from Your School Counselor
Here are some resources and information from our school counselors Mrs. Cardinale and Mrs. Engblom. Please feel free to email our counselors if you have specific concerns about your child (jcardinale@powayusd.com or mengblom@powayusd.com).
