Attendance Letters may be coming home soon. As of November 1, we have been in school 47 days. If your child has 4 or more absences (excused or unexcused), you may be receiving a letter.

As the holiday season nears, we remind you that regular school attendance is key to your child's success. Each day offers valuable face-to-face learning and social interactions that support emotional well-being and development. Missed days can lead to challenges requiring extra support, which depends on consistent attendance. Let’s work together to help every student thrive! Learn more at www.pylusd.org/everydaycounts

The Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD) School Choice Transfer Request periods for the 2024-2025 school year are coming soon. During this time, parents of any current or incoming students who wish to attend a PYLUSD school other than their home school of residence for the 2024-2025 school year should fill out a School Choice Transfer Request.

Transfer approvals are subject to space availability. In any situation where the number of requests exceeds the space available, approval of transfers will be determined by a random and unbiased selection process. Applications received during the school choice window are not processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

During the respective windows, interested families may complete a School Choice Transfer Request in the Aeries Parent Portal (instructions on the PYLUSD website) or receive in-person assistance completing the online request at the PYLUSD Student Services office located at 1301 E. Orangethorpe Ave, Placentia, CA 92870.

Please note that PYLUSD school sites do not distribute nor accept School Choice Transfer Requests. In addition, once a student has been approved to their school of choice, that school becomes their designated school of attendance. For approved transfers in TK-6, this transfer will remain in effect through middle school. Families with a school choice transfer through middle school do not need to submit a new application. Current 8th graders attending a middle school on a School Choice Transfer must reapply if they wish to attend a PYLUSD high school other than their home school of residence.

Additional information about School Choice may be found online at www.pylusd.org/schoolchoice.
