Greetings Returning PUSD Students/Families,

As we plan for the coming school year, your intent to return to our school and/or another PUSD school site is important for staffing and class configurations purposes. This form is to be completed by all Pre-K-5th grade families. The deadline is Friday, April 26th. Families that complete this first form will receive an additional link to make requests for the coming school year. Your request will be taken into consideration but our class placement criteria (see below) will ultimately be used and implemented to establish all cohorts for next school year.

Field Elementary Intent to Return

Class Placement Criteria:

1. Native Mandarin and Non-native- English-only and balance

2. An adequate gender ratio balance

3. A full range of aptitudes within each class

4. An even proportion of abilities/learning styles across the classes at each grade level

5. An equal number of pupils in each class per grade level

6. An even proportion of children with English language proficiency

Please note that individual requests have been taken into consideration but final decisions and selections of class placements reside with the school officials. All placements are on a “stay-put status” during our enrollment count period the first two to six weeks of school. No changes will be made during this time.

We will host a grand opening/regular hours for our student store on the following dates during lunch recess:
