Please join us in congratulating 7th grader, Aaron Ye, for his 1st place Division II (13 - 15 yrs) win at the 5th Music Teachers' Association of California San Diego Chopin Festival. MTAC is one of the most prestigious piano competitions for school students in San Diego. Aaron, the youngest in his division, played Chopin's Scherzo in B Minor, Opus 20 (listen via the link below) with stunning technique and sensitive musicality. Aaron began studying piano performance at age five and was invited to perform solo at the iconic Carnegie Hall multiple times since age 8 as a winner of international piano competitions. He has won various local piano competitions as well including 1st place in the 2023 CAPMT San Diego Young Protégé Music Competition (13 – 15 yrs). Aaron also loves to play clarinet and is an active member of our school band and chamber orchestra.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The difference between a Guest, a Visitor and a Volunteer as per the PUSD Board Policies
1. A Visitor is defined as an individual who, with school district authorization, attends a student performance, special event, festival, open house, back-to-school event, sports event, athletic competition, etc. A visitor may either be accompanied or unaccompanied by school district staff. Designated school district administrative personnel are to make this determination. A visitor is usually not required to sign a registry.
Example: Your school is being recognized for achievement and members of SDCOE are coming to watch students or your school is hosting a Jr. Olympic competition.
2. A Guest is defined as an individual who, with school district approval, assists students, schools, and teachers on a non-regular basis or who individually observes a classroom or activity. A guest may also assist with educational programs or with special events on an occasional or infrequent basis. A guest shall immediately report his or her presence at the school office or at the designated school location upon arrival at the school and sign a guest registry.
Example: Your school is hosting the book fair, a play where parents are coming to watch, or a teacher needs help in the classroom with a one- or two-day tie-dye t-shirt project for the jog-a-thon. A class is hosting a party or a fun run.
3. A Volunteer is defined as an individual who, with school district authorization, voluntarily assists school districts, schools, educational programs, or students on a regular and ongoing basis. A volunteer is required to complete a Volunteer Application and have a Megan’s Law Background Check or a State and/or Federal Background Check completed.
Example: A parent is assisting with a weekly and ongoing project such as the running club or Lego league. A grandparent is helping in music or art classes weekly. A field trip chaperone and/or driver (usually requires Level 1 and 2 applications).
If someone is coming to help in the class only one or two times, they are not considered volunteers therefore do not need to fill out a Level 1 application.
