Our enormous spirit wear order has been delivered and PTO has it organized. It should be going home sometime this week!
Note that about a dozen items remain backordered. We sincerely apologize if your item(s) are impacted.
If there is a problem with your spirit wear order, please contact PTO: pacificunionpto@gmail.com.


Are you planning to do some online shopping this year? Please consider using the AmazonSmile program. Start from www.smile.amazon.com instead of the usual address and designate Pacific Union PTO your charity. Amazon will automatically donate 0.5% of the price of all eligible purchases to the Pacific Union PTO for us to reinvest in the school community.
It's the easiest fundraiser we run and it really adds up. Thanks!


Health check
Please use the following self-screening tool to verify that your child is in good health and should attend school. There is no longer a need to report results of a health check to the school. Thank you for helping limit the spread of COVID-19 in our school community.

Reminder: This week is Parent/Teacher Conference week and every day students are dismissed at 12:35.

Here is an update from Ms. McBride on masking on the PU Campus ( https://5il.co/11hzq ), and the guidance from HCOE given to Schools ( https://5il.co/11hge )

Dear Community Members--effective immediately, all non-high school aged students must be accompanied by an adult in order to be allowed into all McKinleyville home football games for the remainder of the season. Thank you for your understanding in keeping students safe and thank you for the tremendous support that we have received this season.
Dustin Dutra
Assistant Principal
McKinleyville High School

The track was paved today!
Huge thanks to GR Sundberg for the physical labor of building the track, along with Points West Surveying and GHD for the surveying and engineering support!



Please remember to enter the parking lot at the south end of the parking lot and to drop off/pick up students in front of the school. Continued safety will remain a priority for our students and we appreciate your support in keeping our parking lot safe.

Our under-construction track is looking awesome. Check out this drone footage:

The track will be 800m, so 8 laps to make a mile. Won't it be great to get our children moving?!!

A few of our teachers have DonorChoose projects active this fall.
