Spring Break

PUSD schools and district office will be closed April 3-10.

Our schools and district office will be closed for Spring Break April 3-10. We will reopen on Tuesday, April 11.

Dear PUSD Community,

This week, our District Office buildings and schools are flying flags at half staff out of respect for the victims of the shooting in Nashville, Tennessee.

Our students may have a wide range of reactions to this tragedy. It will be important in the coming days and weeks for our families and staff to check in with our children and each other. If you or someone you know are in distress, it is important to reach out. PUSD has a list of Grief Support Resources available to you, and we partner with Care Solace to help individuals navigate and connect with needed mental health resources.

The following may be helpful as you navigate conversations in the days ahead:

  • Create space to talk about what you and your students are feeling. Young people may not know how to respond and will be looking for your guidance
  • Affirm their feelings. It’s okay to express feelings honestly. Tolerate their expressions, rather than dismissing them or discouraging the expression of feelings
  • Affirm that their reaction is normal and you understand the way they feel
  • Watch for signs of trouble such as aggression, withdrawal, etc.
  • Help your students return to as normal of a routine as possible 

Additionally, please find the following resources for guiding conversations and finding support. 

In these final days before spring break, please be kind and patient with each other. Recognize that this tragedy is unsettling for everyone. Take time to check in with yourself and others around you. And know that each of our PUSD team members are here to support you.

Sincerely,

David Haglund, Ed.D.

Superintendent of Schools
