English Survey Link

• The pandemic has exacerbated inequities in our community. The state of California estimated a 48% increase in students experiencing homelessness over the last decade and recent legislation (AB-27) was passed to provide expanded services in partnership with schools and other public agencies.
  

  In order to ensure that our students who are impacted by housing instability receive appropriate services to support their learning needs, Pasadena Unified is conducting an annual housing survey.

  Please visit the survey to complete this confidential survey by January 30, 2023. If you require a paper survey or alternative accommodations, please contact your school site or Pasadena Unified Families in Transition Office at 750 N. Los Robles Ave. Pasadena, CA 91104.

Spanish Survey Link

• La pandemia ha exacerbado las desigualdades en nuestra comunidad. El estado de California estimó un aumento del 48% de estudiantes sin hogar en la última década y se aprobó una legislación reciente (AB-27) para proporcionar servicios ampliados en asociación con las escuelas y otras agencias públicas.
  

  Con el fin de asegurar que nuestros estudiantes que se ven afectados por la inestabilidad de la vivienda reciban los servicios adecuados para apoyar sus necesidades de aprendizaje, el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Pasadena está llevando a cabo una encuesta anual sobre la vivienda.

  Por favor visite la encuesta para completar esta encuesta confidencial antes del 30 de enero de 2023. Si necesita una encuesta en papel o adaptaciones alternativas, por favor, póngase en contacto con su escuela o con la Oficina de Familias en Transición del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Pasadena en 750 N. Los Robles Ave. Pasadena, CA 91104.

Please share pictures of your students engaging in learning at home. Our hope to be able to put together a yearbook for our students, and we would love to include pictures of our students engaging in their learning both on campus and remotely.

Thank you for sharing your learning experiences with us! You can submit your photos through the Google Form linked below.
