This week in Paso Schools
Dear Paso Schools families,

With just 25 school days remaining, we’re entering the exciting final stretch of the school year. This time of year often brings extra energy, anticipation, and distraction for students of all ages, which makes consistency and encouragement at home especially important. By working together to maintain routines, prioritize attendance, encourage healthy sleep habits, and stay connected to what students are experiencing each day, we can help every child finish the year feeling successful, supported, and proud of how far they’ve come.

We also want to recognize that this can be a demanding season for families. Between performances, sports, testing, celebrations, and the everyday work of parenting, this time of year can feel especially full. Thank you for continuing to show up for your children and for partnering with our schools in ways both big and small. Your continuous support and steady presence matter more than you may realize, and we’re grateful to be on this journey together.

Lastly: did you know Paso Robles Joint Unified School District is offering free summer childcare programs for Paso Schools students in Transitional Kindergarten through 6th grade? These programs provide full-day care and enrichment opportunities throughout the summer, keeping students engaged, active, and connected outside the school year. Visit our website to learn more about summer childcare options and summer school opportunities available to junior high and high school students (including the new Summer Algebra Institute for students grades 7-11).
