Family Newsletter
PUSD families are advised to review this newsletter to stay up to date with school business and requirements related to COVID-19 student and employee health and safety.
Delay in Service Response
Students who are absent from school pending a return call from the CRT will have related-school absences verified and excused. Please do not send your child to school if they are sick or if there has been a high-risk COVID exposure and are waiting for a callback.
A quick, daily health check can help you decide if your child is healthy enough to be at school. Families are advised to keep their child at home if they are sick or presenting any COVID related symptoms.
