CONTINUING STUDENT REGISTRATION
PUSD 2025-2026 Continuing Student Registration is open!
Online Continuing Student Registration will be open until March 31, 2025. We MUST receive a completed digital packet for all returning students. This will allow for proper placement of your student for the 2025-2026 school year. This annual digital process allows a family to complete one single “family” packet instead of completing one packet per student. Packets can be completed using any computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection.
Continuing Registration Steps:
- Login and complete the digital registration packet via the online registration portal found here.
- Review and complete any required forms located at the conclusion of the process. A packet is not considered finalized until this step is completed.
Please note: MEDICATION FORMS or ADDITIONAL SIGNED SITE SPECIFIC FORMS WILL NOT BE COLLECTED UNTIL SCHOOL BEGINS IN AUGUST FOR THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR.

COUNSELOR'S CORNER
See below for the March Counseling Newsletter:
POSITIVITY PROJECT
Hi Grizzly Families, this week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Fairness. Fairness means you believe that all people have value. You approach situations with an unbiased mindset and treat everyone with respect.
Fairness is the product of moral judgement — the process by which people determine what is morally right and what is morally wrong. Moral reasoning has been explored and analyzed in two main traditions: the justice reasoning approach and the care reasoning approach.
For individuals, cultivating the character strength of fairness is correlated with highly desirable developmental outcomes. It helps people to become trustworthy friends, responsible citizens, and generally moral people.
“It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself.” -ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

SHARE THE LOVE! IT’S NOT TOO LATE!
The Willow Grove Educational Foundation supports essential programs at our school such as PE, Kindergarten and Grade-Level Impact Teachers, and Library Development. A donation to the WGEF is a great way to show our kids some love by ensuring that programs like The Grizzly Gazette, Math Olympiad and Odyssey of the Mind receive the ongoing support that they need.
We encourage you to share with friends, family, grandparents, aunts and uncles who might like to get involved and support our amazing Grizzlies.
We are 85% to our annual goal! Help us reach it and make sure that our students feel the love by donating to the WGEF’s Grizzly Growth Fund. Fliers went home in your student’s green folders the week before break, but we have many other ways to make it easy for you to donate. EVERY dollar counts!
