INDEPENDENT STUDY CONTRACT - Changes for 2019-20
Please note that the PUSD School Board has updated its policy for Independent Studies during the current school year. Under the new policy, the maximum number of school days that will be excused is 10 (in previous years it was 20 calendar days). Also, students are only eligible for one independent study contract per school year, and no contracts will be issued the first 20 school days of the year or the last 20 school days of the year.
Please click on the Independent Study Contract Request and Procedures information for more details, and prior to making any travel plans.

Parent PIN (personal ID number)
Parent PIN (personal ID number)
We are excited to welcome everyone back to the 2019-20 school year! As you begin the process of registering your students in the Q system prior to walk-through registration, we'd like to remind you that your Personal ID Number (PIN) is your access to your student(s) PUSD online record from the time they are registered in a PUSD school until they leave the district (graduate or move out). It is also the same PIN that you will use every summer to register your student(s) for the following school year.
Each parent/guardian who enrolls a student into our district receives their own individual PIN (ie., mom and dad would each be assigned separate individual numbers to access Q). Your PIN for the Q Parent Portal is not the same number as your student's school ID number.
Please use qhelp@pleasantonusd.net for any support you may need during registration, and be sure to keep your PIN in a safe and accessible place for future use.
Please use qhelp@pleasantonusd.net for any support you may need during registration, and be sure to keep your PIN in a safe and accessible place for future use.
We wish each of our Donlon families a smooth and successful start to the new school year.
