Please note the following important information regarding Level 2 Volunteer status:

If you were approved as a Level 2 Volunteer for School Year (SY) 2024–2025 and have not submitted a Volunteer Application for SY 2025–2026, your Level 2 status will not be extended for SY 2025–2026.

As a result, you will need to complete the fingerprinting process again in order to obtain Level 2 status for SY 2026–2027.

The District does not retain fingerprint records indefinitely. Volunteers must submit a Volunteer Application each school year to maintain and extend their Level 2 status. If a Volunteer does not follow this annual renewal process, their information is removed from the District’s database.

This enrollment window is for students currently enrolled in Poway Unified schools in grades TK-11. A digital registration packet must be completed for ALL currently enrolled students, whether your child(ren) are returning or leaving the district next school year.

If your family is not returning to PUSD for the 2026-2027 school year, please complete the online packet for your child(ren) to let us know. We’ve simplified the process this year: once you select the "No, we are not planning to return next year" option, the form will automatically skip to the end for a quick submission. It only takes a moment and greatly helps us with our planning for the upcoming school year.

Completing the Continuing Student Registration process will allow for proper placement of your child(ren) for the 2026-2027 school year as well as appropriate release procedures for those who will not be returning. For full instructions on this process, visit the Continuing Registration webpage.

• Full name of the person reporting the absence

Please note that teachers are not able to report attendance information sent directly to them. With busy classroom schedules, many teachers may not see emails until the end of the school day.

Thank you for helping us keep our attendance records accurate and for supporting our school community!
