The Paw Print

On December 15, 2025, the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District initiated a 30-day public review of K-5 ELA curriculum adoption and implementation for the 2026-2027 school year. The display will also include a novel to be added to the Core and Extended Reading List. The review display will be set up at the PYLUSD district office, and members of the PYLUSD community will be able to visit the display to review hardcopy and digital materials during office hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Those visiting the public review display will be able to submit feedback and/or comments through a digital feedback form. The 30-day public display will conclude on February 10, 2026.

A regular attendance routine is important for your child’s well-being, learning and long-term success. Below are tips to keep your child healthy and avoid unnecessary absences from school.

Nutrition, Sleep and Exercise

• Ensure your child eats a good breakfast every morning or check if your school serves breakfast.
• Maintain a regular bedtime and morning routine.
• Keep screens out of the bedroom and limit use prior to bedtime.
• Encourage your child to stay active for at least 60 minutes a day.

Hygiene

• Stress hand washing, particularly before eating, and after using the restroom.
• Remind your child to brush their teeth twice a day.
• Avoid close contact with individuals who are sick. Don’t share cups, utensils, hair brushes or combs.
• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, or cough/sneeze into an elbow.

Students strive to be fair and just in all their actions.

Key Beliefs:

I will be a better student if I act on the following beliefs:

• People deserve to be treated fairly in all situations.
• There is a need to have pre-established rules that are consistently applied.
• Having a clear system for making decisions promotes fairness.
• I should treat all people equitably based on their merits and abilities.
• I must understand the different perspectives that others have when determining what is fair.

Sixth grade orientation and parent info night for Tuffree Middle School will be on February 24th. More info to come. If you would like to schedule a campus tour at TMS, you can do that here. Please reach out to Ms. Barton directly with any questions you may have sbarton@pylusd.org.

• Make sure your students can only pack what they can carry! They will need to be able to carry their own luggage from the bus to their assigned cabins.

• Bedding/Sleeping Bags & Pillows should be placed in trash bags that are labeled with School Name & Student Name. During inclement weather arrival or departure days, bags do spend a short period of time outside and this method ensures everything stays dry and with the correct student group!

• Don't bring anything super sentimental - it breaks our hearts when their favorite stuffy from Grandma Jane goes missing.

• No Snacks! With our location in the National Forest, we avoid bringing food into cabins which helps us keeps critters outdoors. The Pali dining hall will be stocked with easy to grab & go snacks (apples, bananas, and oranges).

If you were unable to attend the 6th Grade Camp Parent Information Meeting on 12/4/25, or if you would simply like to revisit the information, the recording is available below.

We have also attached the Pali Parent eBook, which provides many of the details reviewed during the meeting.

Our Shared Commitment

• Treat one another with respect and courtesy.

• Maintain a safe, welcoming environment for everyone.

• Work together toward positive solutions.

What We Expect

• Avoid shouting, profanity, or threats.

• Do not disrupt school activities or meetings.

• If emotions run high, we may pause the conversation and reschedule.

When Behavior Becomes Disruptive

Unsafe, threatening, or abusive behavior may result in being asked to leave campus. Continued issues could limit access to school grounds, and law enforcement may be contacted if necessary.

Our Promise

• Listening with empathy and professionalism.

• Modeling civility for our students and community.
