Lunch Deliveries
We ask that families send their student to school with their snacks and lunch. Please only drop off lunch on the lunch cart inside of the office in the event that a student forgot it at home. This should not happen regularly. If a lunch is being dropped off, please make sure the student’s first and last name is on the lunch, along with the teacher’s name.
In addition, please keep in mind:
Fast food lunches (ie; McDonald’s, Burger King etc.) for students are highly discouraged.
Gum or candy should not be brought to campus unless given permission by the teacher.
Carbonated beverages of any kind are prohibited on campus for children.
For student safety (potential allergic reactions), students may not share their lunch or bring food to share with other students during the lunch hour or snack time.
Large bags of chips (such as Flaming Hot Cheetos, Takis, Doritos etc) or candy are not allowed during lunch or break. Please only send single serving bags as students should not be sharing.
Food deliveries by outside organizations (i.e Door Dash, Uber Eats, Postmates, etc.) are not allowed at any time.
2024 PYLUSD Survey for Parents and Guardians
Each year, the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD) conducts a survey to gather valuable insight from parents and guardians. Your feedback is extremely important and will help PYLUSD make good decisions to improve our schools.
This survey will take approximately 5 to 8 minutes to complete. You are encouraged to complete the survey more than once if you have students at multiple schools.
If you do not have access to a computer, please stop by our front office between 7:30 - 4:00 PM and we will provide you with the opportunity to complete the survey on a school computer.
This survey is available to take until February 23, 2024.
Enrollment for 2024-25 has Begun!
Maximize Learning Opportunities: Every Day Counts! / Maximice las Oportunidades de Aprendizaje: ¡Cada Día Cuenta!
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.
------------------------------------------------------------
La asistencia regular a la escuela es crucial para que los estudiantes participen plenamente en el aprendizaje cara a cara y fomenten conexiones sociales vitales con sus compañeros, contribuyendo a su bienestar general. Si bien se pueden recuperar las tareas perdidas, la experiencia colaborativa en el aula es irremplazable.
En California, los estudiantes que faltan sólo dos días escolares al mes, equivalente al diez por ciento del año escolar, son etiquetados como ausentes crónicos. Esta tasa de ausentismo, ya sea justificado o injustificado, puede indicar desafíos académicos y aumentar el riesgo de abandono escolar.
¡Cada día cuenta para maximizar las oportunidades de aprendizaje para los estudiantes! Ayúdenos a allanar el camino para el éxito de su hijo asegurándose de que asista a la escuela todos los días a menos que esté enfermo. Cuando los estudiantes están enfermos, las familias deben comunicarse con su escuela para informar la ausencia.
