Principal's Message
Happy Friday Nighthawks!
As we reach the close of another school year, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all of you. This year has been filled with hard work, growth, and achievements, and none of it would have been possible without the incredible efforts of our students and the unwavering support of each family.
To our students, your dedication and resilience have been inspiring. You have faced challenges with courage, embraced new learning opportunities, and demonstrated an exceptional commitment to your education. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you.
To our families, your support and encouragement have been crucial in helping our students succeed. Whether it was assisting with homework, participating in school events, or simply providing a listening ear, your involvement has made a significant difference. We are grateful for your partnership and trust in our school community.
As we enter the summer break, I hope you all find time to relax, recharge, and create wonderful memories together. Enjoy the well-deserved time away from school, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back for another exciting and productive year ahead.

Homelessness or Housing Insecurity Assistance
Dear Poway Unified School District Families
Poway Unified’s Youth in Transition (YIT) program assists children and youth experiencing homelessness with food, transportation, school supplies, and additional support during the school year. Those students who qualify lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence and includes children and youth who are:
- Sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason. This can be doubled (living with one other family) and even tripled (living with two other families) up.
- Living in motels, hotels, due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations.
- Living in domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, transitional living programs, housing paid for by programs/vouchers, etc.
- Living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings, or in a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.
- Unaccompanied homeless youth who are living away from the physical custody of a parent or guardian.
- Migratory children who qualify as homeless because they are children who are living in similar circumstances listed above.
If any of the above housing descriptions reflect your current housing situation, please fill out the attached short form and email it to Laura Upson at lupson@powayusd.com. You can learn more information about Youth in Transition here. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
