Upcoming Events

·            Parents can assist in the education of their children by getting students to school each day, unless a child is ill.

·            Since 1998 California schools are funded on actual student attendance each day, not on enrollment. The district does not receive funding for excused absences.

·            Poway Unified’s school calendar contains fall and winter and spring breaks. Please consider these vacation weeks for family vacations.

·            Even though Poway Unified has one of the highest attendance rates in the state, EVERY DAY COUNTS for learning and funding.

PUSD Integrated Preschool Opportunity

Poway Unified School District is pleased to offer for the 2011-2012 school year, Integrated Preschool Programs at Pomerado Elementary and Deer Canyon Elementary schools.  They will serve 3 to 5 year old children with and without special needs. A general education developmental curriculum will include both large and small group circle time, play, and language activities. Other skills and activities that are introduced are music and rhythm; self help skills, thinking skills, language arts, social skills, number concepts, gross and fine motor skills.  The children who have special needs may experience difficulty in one or more of the following areas:  speech and language, play skills, and social skills.  The success of the integrated program greatly depends on the inclusion of children without special needs who act as models as all children learn together. 

All children in the preschool programs will work as an integrated group.  They will have opportunities to work and play together in an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding.  The curriculum is play-based, which means that children are encouraged to play together in a way that leads to growth and development. 

Our preschool staff will meet with you and arrange a class visitation and provide information about enrollment.

·      Class Time:  M-F, 5 hours per day  (Alternate times will be considered)

·      Options: 3 and 5 day options available.

·      Cost:  Five day program is $330 a month.  Prorated rates are available for other options.  There is also a one time, non-refundable $50 registration fee.

Currently, there are openings available and registration will be accepted on a first come first serve basis.  If interested, please contact Barbie Shrier at 858-521-2821
