Dear PUHSD Students, Staff, Families & Communities ~

We are hopeful you've all had a wonderful Spring Break and ready to return to campuses tomorrow!

Please take a moment to enjoy our April newsletter featuring this month's message from Superintendent O'Malley, a shoutout to our Learning Commons staff, a very deserved congratulations to our Employees of the Year, some great photos from around our school communities, budget information, and so much more.

Community Connect - April 2026

Episode 8 of our podcast "The Point" highlights our Performing Arts Programs. Superintendent O'Malley and Deputy Superintendent Dr. Caminiti caught up with Placer High School's Theater Teacher Jason Long and a few of his students/actors to share about why these programs are so valuable. Their production information, as well as the details for the upcoming performances at Colfax and Del Oro High Schools, can be found in the newsletter and are discussed in this episode.
