From the Desk of Mrs. Weekes
Dear Los Pen Families,
PUSD 2025-2026 Continuing Student Registration is open!
Online Continuing Student Registration will be open until March 31, 2025. We MUST receive a completed digital packet for all returning students. This will allow for proper placement of your student for the 2025-2026 school year. This annual digital process allows a family to complete one single “family” packet instead of completing one packet per student. Packets can be completed using any computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection.
Continuing Registration Steps:
Login and complete the digital registration packet via the online registration portal found here.
Review and complete any required forms located at the conclusion of the process. A packet is not considered finalized until this step is completed.
Please note: MEDICATION FORMS or ADDITIONAL SIGNED SITE SPECIFIC FORMS WILL NOT BE COLLECTED UNTIL SCHOOL BEGINS IN AUGUST FOR THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Weekes
A Note from Your Counselor
This week our school participated in a No Place For Hate lesson, focusing on family traditions. We began reading The Day You Begin and joined in activities that celebrate our differences and saw that we are all connected and have more in common than not. The Los Pen family has over 35 languages from over 45 countries, allowing all of us to celebrate how wonderful our traditions are and an opportunity to learn more about our friends.
At Los Pen we take pride in celebrating our rich customs and traditions that bring us together. These traditions create a sense of belonging and help us stay connected to our roots. Whether it's special family recipes, holiday rituals, or unique cultural practices, we recognize that each of our traditions creates a beautifully diverse community. By sharing these moments with one another, we learn, appreciate, and grow together. Let's continue to honor the unique ways our families celebrate and the bonds that make us stronger as a whole. Together, we create a shared history that unites us all.
On April 25th we will celebrate all of our cultures at Los Peñ at our Around the World Night. Come as a family and explore the whole globe on one campus on one night!
-Ms. Bohn
Community Traffic Updates
The City of San Diego is about to begin a construction project in our area that will affect our traffic during arrival and dismissal. Attached is a construction notice and map area of where work will take place (adjacent to our school).
Work is anticipated to begin next week, pending weather delays. Access to driveways should not be impeded. There may just be a slight delay as they work to improve the street. Work will begin with sidewalks and curb ramps next week, and that will be about one week. They are expected to return a few weeks later and work on repaving the road, and that will take another one to two weeks.
Please plan accordingly for potential traffic delays. Your patience and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
