This week in Paso Schools
Dear Families,

As shared last week, our new school websites are now live! In the coming weeks, we’ll highlight helpful features designed to make information easier to access.

One feature we’re especially excited about is built-in translation on every page. Simply click the translation icon in the upper-right corner of any webpage and select your preferred language to instantly view the site in that language. This feature helps ensure all families can access important school information and stay connected, regardless of the language they speak.

Below you'll find the CTE Student of the Week, the Secondary Scholar of the Week, February's breakfast and lunch menus, ticket sales for PRHS' production of Seussical, reminders, and upcoming dates to note.

Lastly, thank you to Winifred Pifer Principal, Holly Moore, for sharing this delightful photo from the 100th day of school!

Announcements

Paso Robles High School CTE Student of the Week: Frida Bejar Rico, Class of 2026.

CTW Student of the Week: Frida Bejar Rico

Frida takes initiative every day in the Bearkitten lab and is a thoughtful, dependable leader. She is intentional and fully engaged with the children, while also being collaborative and supportive of her peers. Frida holds herself—and the program—to high standards, and that commitment is evident in the care and effort she brings to her work. Academically, she is focused, consistently completes her assignments, and willingly helps classmates when needed. This year, Frida also stepped into SkillsUSA and qualified to advance to the national level through the job interview competition. Thank you, Frida, for setting an outstanding example for all of our Bearkitten teachers!
 
Liberty High School Sharks recognize Teodoro Uzeta as Secondary Scholar of the Week, Class of 2026.

Secondary Scholar of the Week: Teodoro Uzeta

Teo has made an incredible personal turnaround at Liberty High School, using a fresh start to build confidence and transform his mindset. He went from struggling academically to earning straight A's with perfect attendance, while also becoming a kind leader who helps translate for new students. Teo is a proud role model on campus who has overcome obstacles and is excited to graduate this June.

2025 School Accountability Report Cards (SARC) Are Posted

The 2026 School Accountability Report Cards (SARC), reporting on the 2024-2025 school year, have been posted to each school webpage for public viewing. The SARC report is updated annually by February 1st and provides a summary of each school's mission, goals, and accomplishments. In PRJUSD, all school SARC reports have been posted under the "About Us" tab on each school webpage. If you would like a hard copy of your child's school SARC report, this can be requested in the corresponding school office.
