FAQs
How do I inform the school when my student is absent?
When your child is absent, please call the attendance hotline (858) 538-0437.
What if my student is tardy?
Students arriving late to school must come to the main office accompanied by a parent/guardian with a note stating the reason for their tardy. Parents may excuse up to three tardies for personal reasons per semester. Please remember – tardy students walking into class impacts the learning environment for everyone. Please be on time.
What do I do if my student forgot something?
If your student forgot an item or lunch, please drop it off in the office and place it on the cart. Please complete a label and attach it to the item. To avoid classroom interruption, please send the teacher an email. Then your student knows to check the cart.
What are OCIS Contracts?
If you have a planned absence, please see Stephanie Cahiwat in the front office as soon as possible to set up a homework contract for the student.
How late can my student remain on campus after school?
It is important that students are picked up before 3:00pm.
What if my child has no lunch, or I have other questions about lunch?
School breakfasts and lunches are free to all students who want them this year. To learn more about PUSD's food and nutrition policies, go to pusdnutrition.powayusd.com.
Where are the lost and found items kept on campus?
If your student has lost clothing or any other item, the lost and found is located on a rack and table in the lunch area outside the MPR. Because parents aren’t allowed on campus this year, these lost items will be displayed by the front gates several times this year. Our Foundation will also occasionally post pictures to Instagram. Please ask your child to check for lost belongings periodically.
What if I want to talk to my student’s teacher?
The best way to communicate with teachers is through email.
