As the weather continues to get colder and the rainy season begins, we anticipate more students wearing coats and bringing umbrellas to school. Please remember to LABEL all items sent to school with your child's name. Students can look for their lost items by the front office before and after school.

We are hoping to get our beautiful Vintage Hills Garden up and running soon, including opportunities for any interested students to work in the garden during lunch and recess. To do this, we are seeking adult volunteers from the VH community to help. If you or someone from the community you know, is interested, please reach out to Lisa Padway (Vice Principal) at lpadway@pleasantonusd.net for more information.
Mariachi Program Openings -
Registration open until 2/16
The PUSD Mariachi program has limited room to add students in grades 3-12 into the program in all instruments (Trumpet, Violin, Guitar/Vihuela, and Guitarron). The Mariachi program uses a holistic and culturally relevant approach to support our targeted students and their families. Our whole child approach is meant to fully support students by creating pathways of opportunity to the many programs already offered in our school district and further bridge achievement and enrichment gaps.
Students and their families in Mariachi in addition to instrument and vocal lessons have access to:
Dinner provided by Open Heart Kitchen
Targeted Academic Support
The program is housed at Hearst Elementary and runs on Thursdays in 2 sessions: 5:30 - 7:00pm and 7:00 - 8:30pm.
If you have students that you think would benefit from participation in the program, please email Viviana Suarez (vsuarez@pleasantonusd.net) and we will reach out to the family.
