ALL PUSD SCHOOLS CLOSED MARCH 1st DUE TO POWER OUTAGE Good Morning Placerville Families, As many of you know most of Placerville is without power with no estimation of when power will be restored. All schools in PUSD are without power at this time. Also many of the roads in the outlying areas are extremely icy and would be very difficult for our busses to run. With both of these issues we will have to close school today Wednesday March 1st. We apologize for this change in plans but are hoping to have power restored and roads in much better shape so that we can safely be open tomorrow. Have a nice day. Eric Bonniksen

Today Feb. 24th all schools in the Placerville School District will be on a one hour delay start. All schools will start one hour later than normal and all bus runs will be one hour later.

"Due to the power outage effecting most of Placerville, PUSD will be on a one hour delay start. All schools will be starting one hour later than normal and all bus routes will run one hour later than normal. We are currently in contact with PG&E to assess the situation. If anything changes we will notify you immediately. " - Eric Bonniksen

There has been a lot of talk and questions about the upcoming solar eclipse, Monday, August 21. We will have a normal school day on Solar Eclipse Monday. Teachers will be reviewing sun viewing safety with their classes and we ask that you discuss this with your students at home as well. It is important that all of our students know not to look directly at the sun during this or any time. The visible light during the eclipse still includes damaging UV light and regular sunglasses will not protect their eyes. Special glasses with the ISO code 12312-2 filter out about a 1000x more radiation and are the only safe way to view the sun. You may wish to send your child with the special glasses if you have purchased them. Select classes have lesson plans about the sun and moon and are making pinhole viewers to safely view the eclipse; however, students will also be out of class for recess during the eclipse. Please remind your students about the importance of not looking directly at the eclipse. Keeping our Dragons safe is our number one priority and we appreciate your help by discussing this at home. Thank You!
