PUSD Welcome Kit

Families often have questions about when school starts, what the bell schedule is, and how to enroll in after-school programs. To help families feel prepared well before the first day of school, the Office of Family Engagement created the PUSD Welcome Kit, which provides essential information and resources to support a smooth start to the school year.
