Poway Unified Parent Academy
Make Up Registration
Make up registration is scheduled for Monday, August 31st from 5:00 – 6:00pm.
Most families have completed the online registration document process last Spring. If you still need to turn in your PUSD Signature Verification Form (reminder: both you and your student need to sign this form!), and/or the Student Health Form (7th graders only), we will collect those at registration; as well as the 2020-2021 Student Chromebook Checkout Form.
We will be doing a drive-thru process this year. Families will drive-thru the parking lot and pick-up the textbooks and other items.
Students will have the opportunity to exit their vehicle to take an optional picture in front of an Oak Valley Middle School backdrop/banner. Please note that only students will be allowed to exit the vehicle and families will need to remain in the car to snap a photo of their student. Banners will be on the passenger side of the car, so be prepared. This is optional, so if families do not feel comfortable exiting the vehicle, they will be able to bypass the picture area. We will have the banners along up on the fence in the parking for the first few weeks of schools for families that would like to come back at a later time and take a nice picture.
Please make sure you have completed the online Continuing Student Registration process and forms via Synergy Parent VUE before coming to registration. If you have not completed this process, please use this LINK for more detailed information.

*Regular meal prices apply, according to eligibility category (Free, Reduced Price, and Paid).
We ask that students needing meals be physically present for an accurate count. However, if a child is unable to leave the home, a parent/guardian may pick up food for that child if they know the child’s student ID number. Parents are encouraged to prepay for all meals in advance to eliminate cash handling at school sites. All students who are NOT eligible for free meals must have money in their account or pay cash when meals are received.
The new 300 building is almost complete!
