Great news for you and your students!  All enrolled students of Cedarwood Elementary School, Paradise High School, Paradise Intermediate School, Pine Ridge Elementary School, Ponderosa Elementary School, Paradise Ridge Elementary School, and Ridge View High School are eligible to receive a healthy  breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2019-2020 school year . No further action is required of you. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit an application.    It has always been, and will continue to be, the goal of PUSD Food Services to provide our students with the highest quality meals at the lowest prices as approved by the state and federal programs.   During the school registration process, you will be required by Paradise Unified School District to complete a simple Household Income Survey.  It is so very important that you complete the data survey that we’ve included one in this packet of information.  This survey will help determine each school’s state and local education funding determinations. It will also help with consideration for family fee waivers for other school programs; however, receipt of free breakfast and lunch meals does not depend on completing it.  The income data provided will determine the level of funding your school receives from both state and federal levels .    Thank you for your understanding and support of our program.  We look forward to serving your student(s) during the upcoming 2025-2026 school year.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our office at 530.872.6496.

Home     Departments     Educational Services     Report Cards Report Cards PUSD Standards-Based Report Cards Grades 1st-6th Beginning 2017-2018   Why did Paradise Unified School District revise the elementary report card? In 2010, the State Board of Education adopted new, rigorous academic standards for California. In the following years, Paradise Unified School District has worked to implement aligned curriculum, instructional materials, and assessments, and as of fall 2017, an elementary report card based on the new standards. PUSD’s goal is to improve student achievement for all students in every classroom, every day. Research supports standards-based grading and reporting as a basis of communication that will help students learn more effectively through better feedback for teachers, students, and parents.   Goals of Our Standards-Based Grading System Focus on student achievement – Other factors will be reported separately. Not everything is included in the reported achievement level – Teachers look at a student’s performance on activities, such as daily schoolwork and projects, to monitor student learning, identify strengths and weaknesses, and plan for future instruction.  Standards-based achievement is not based on averages – The final achievement mark on the standards-based report card represents the learning level at the end of an instructional period. Students are not penalized for mistakes made at the beginning of the learning process.   What is the difference between standards-based grading and traditional grading? Traditional grading is easy to spot because it typically involves: Simple letter grades Assessments based on teacher-defined criteria A single overall grade per student based on a combination of related and unrelated assessments of skills, knowledge, performance, and conduct over a period of time.   The main advantages of this method are simplicity and professional freedom. However, it results in a very limited measure of a student’s abilities. The ‘A’ on a child’s report card might thrill parents, but this grade doesn’t convey any precise information. Standards-based grading overcomes this problem.   The essential qualities of standards-based grading involve: Rubrics with meaningful labels Assessments based on standards Multiple scores per student: one for each standard that reflects the student’s ability related to the standard at a certain moment in time   What is a "Growth Mindset"? Fixed Mindset - People believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits; brains and talent alone create success. Growth Mindset - People believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work; brains and talent are just the starting point. "Students' mindsets - how they perceive their abilities - play a key role in their motivation and achievement, and...if we change students' mindsets, we (can) boost their achievement." (Dweck 2015) With standards-based grading, students are able to practice mastery of standards without concern that imperfect practice work will drag down their grades. Only summative assessments are included in the gradebook. In addition, teachers and students work together to reflect and evaluate lessons, reteach, and reassess for proficiency. In this way, the Growth Mindset facilitates motivation, optimism, and a love of learning.
