Wildcat Weekly 4/28-5/2
"School Library Month" is the American Library Association's annual celebration of school libraries. It's a time we recognize the essential role that strong school libraries play in transforming learning. School libraries provide a welcoming space where students can explore new ideas, develop literacy skills, and foster a lifelong love of reading. We are so thankful for our own beautiful school library here at Pomerado!
Did you know that in PUSD, school libraries do not receive district funds to purchase new books? All of our book-buying dollars come from our bi-annual Book Fairs and occasionally, grants from the community. So while our wish list is ever growing, our new book purchases are often limited. If you would like to support our Pomerado school library this month, or anytime, please check out our Amazon wish list! We update the list quite frequently with titles we'd love to add to our collection to be enjoyed by our Wildcats and we appreciate donations!

We know weekly class library visits are something many of our Wildcats look forward to! Thank you for supporting our school library and your child's reading adventures!
We are currently enrolling new students for the 2025-2026 school year!
PUSD Enrollment is an online process. Enrollment packets are digital and can be completed using any computer, tablet, or smartphone with an internet connection. You can contact your assigned school of residence to schedule an appointment if you do not have access to a device/internet or if you need assistance with completing the online enrollment packet. Please visit the PUSD Enrollment page for directions and access to the online enrollment portal.
Full-Day Universal TK in Poway Unified
PUSD is now offering a full-day Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program. TK is designed as the first year of a two-year kindergarten program and uses a play-based curriculum that is age and developmentally appropriate. EC Section 48000 [d].
