From the Desk of Mrs. Weekes
Dear Los Pen Families,
I don't know if there is a more exciting place to be than Los Pen at the end of a school year! Fourth Graders were soaking their teachers, TK students were having bubble parties, and Kindergartners were singing their way to First Grade. And, for the first time in Los Pen history, we welcomed all of our LPES alumni who are graduating high school this school year to return to their elementary school and be celebrated before they leave PUSD. Just look at their smiling, proud faces!
As we wrap up our '24-'25 school year, it seems fitting that tomorrow will be Aloha Spirit Wear Day. Dress in tropical attire to say goodbye to this fabulous school year and hello to summer!
Remember, our last day of school will be tomorrow, Thursday, June 12th. All students will be dismissed at 1:00 PM.
Have a safe, healthy and enjoyable summer!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Weekes

Full-Day Universal TK in Poway Unified
PUSD is now offering a full-day Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program.

This means, if your child's 4th birthday is on/before September 1, 2025 (born between September 2, 2020 and September 1, 2021), you are eligible to enroll your child in our full-day Transitional Kindergarten program!
