Committees

The goal of the Pacific Union Arts Committee is to support teaching and learning in the four arts disciplines: Visual Art, Theatre, Dance, and Music. This May 2027 marks our 27th Annual Arts Festival devoted to Visual Art, Theatre, Dance and Music throughout the school. In June 2004, retiring committee member David Cherney initiated the Pacific Union Arts Endowment Fund, which enables the arts to excel within our school.

The Curriculum committee consists of a representative from each grade level. During a year of curriculum adoption, the committee spends time reviewing available texts, assessing readability, graphics, and support materials. The teachers are then given time to peruse the textbooks from the various publishing companies, making decisions as to the most appropriate texts for their grade levels.

In addition, the school has a Pacific Union’s Technology Committee consisting of a group of teachers and administrators, and our technology director. We meet on a regular basis to discuss updating hardware and software, as well as planning staff development opportunities. Our technology coordinator oversees the day-to-day maintenance of all the school’s computers as well as assists with staff development. The mission of Pacific Union School is to help all learners develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and personal esteem necessary to grow in and shape a changing society. We also help students become caring, productive, participating citizens, aware of local, state, national, and global needs. Within this scope of our mission, we embrace bringing to our community a goal of integrating technology into our curriculum. We take the initiative to provide access to technology for all students via a 1-1 Chromebooks in 2nd-8th grades, classroom technologies, and community outreach opportunities. The delivery of lessons have iterated from fact based drill and practice, to simulations, to project based research lessons, to our present use of technology infusion in our curriculum.

Our School Safety Committee is a dedicated team of teachers, staff, and administrators working together to keep our school a secure and welcoming place for every student. The committee meets regularly to review emergency procedures, assess building security, and address concerns raised by families and staff. The committee's work touches every corner of daily school life. By staying proactive and responsive, the Safety Committee helps ensure that students can focus on learning in an environment where their well-being comes first.
