1-21 of 21

Meal Distribution: Here is the schedule for August 17 - 28. Unlike these past few months where we were able to provide a meal for every youth 1 - 18 years old, we are only able to provide meals to PVUSD students and there are assigned pick up locations for each school. There are 14 school sites where meals can be picked up between 7 - 10 AM. We are thrilled to announce that Second Harvest will once again be partnering with PVUSD and providing grocery bags at WHS on Mondays, EA Hall in Wednesdays, and at Freedom on Fridays. This year, all except 5 of our schools (AHS, AJrH, Mar Vista, Rio del Mar and Valencia) automatically qualify for free meals! Families in the 5 schools receive either free or paid meals based on individual meal eligibility. Families in those 5 schools who wish to apply for free meals, may apply online at a link found at pvusdschoolfood.net.

Tech Support Line - our Technology Services Department has announced a tech support line for students, families and staff: 786-TECH (8324).

Chromebook Repair/Replacement - our Technology Services Services will continue to serve our students in repairing or replacing their district-issued Chromebook during the school year. Please note the expanded locations, days and hours: Starting on Monday August 17, students can go to either Cesar Chavez MS or Aptos Jr. High on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays between 9 and 12 noon. 8/14/2020


Distance Learning; meal distribution for kids 1 - 18; Get help on our website, under either Parents or COVID-19 tab. Our staff and students are engaged in distance learning. 5/12/2020

Provides the educational program to over 19,000 students at 17 elementary schools, five middle schools, four high schools, five charter schools, 17 children's centers, a continuation high school, an Adult Education School, and two alternative schools.
