The parent survey is available to take until Feb. 23. As of last Friday, 25.72% of our parents have taken the survey. That is an increase of 5.07% Let's get 100%!

Direct link to the survey: https://pylusd.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9Wwm9AOvZVyHbAa (English and Spanish versions are both available at this link)

• The survey will take parents approximately 3-6 minutes to complete.
  

• Families are encouraged to complete the survey more than once if they have children at multiple school sites.

The Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD) Transportation Department is seeking input from students, staff, families, community members, and other stakeholders to help guide our decision-making as we update our transportation plan that outlines services offered.

We have created a brief survey that will take approximately five minutes to complete and will be open now through Friday, February 29, 2024, at 5 p.m. Click the button below or visit https://forms.gle/ggDhPZXaTShsLAFH8 to get started. We value your feedback as it will help improve our transportation services for all students across our school district.

Regular school attendance is crucial for students to fully engage in face-to-face learning and foster vital social connections with peers, contributing to their overall well-being. While missed homework can be caught up, the collaborative classroom experience is irreplaceable.

In California, students who miss just two school days a month, equivalent to ten percent of the school year, are labeled chronically absent. This rate of absenteeism, whether excused or unexcused, may signal academic challenges and increase the risk of dropout.

Every Day Counts in maximizing learning opportunities for students! Help us pave the way for your child's success by ensuring they attend school every day unless they are sick. When students are sick, families should contact their school to report the absence.

Will your child be turning five between September 2, 2024, and June 2, 2025? Or are you considering keeping your child out of kindergarten for an additional year? If so, enroll them in the district’s award-winning transitional kindergarten (TK) program now offered at all elementary schools!

TK is an early kindergarten experience for children that allows young learners to grow in an environment tailored to meet their academic and social-emotional needs. It serves as a bridge between preschool and kindergarten and ensures developmentally younger children are ready for kindergarten and beyond.

TK students are in school for 3 hours and 20 minutes five days a week. The program includes an AM and a PM model with students attending from 7:50 a.m. to 11:10 a.m. or 9:30 a.m. to 12:55 p.m.

Reading and mathematics skills are the foundational building blocks for all other areas of learning, including science, social studies, and even technical fields. By building a strong foundation in these areas, students will successfully grasp more advanced, complex concepts.

Help your student build a strong foundation for success, spend 20 minutes each evening practicing math fact fluency and reading with your student. Learn more and access district-provided online resources at www.pylusd.org/buildingblocks.
