  • A Report to Inform the Educational Master Plan for Pasadena Unified School District
    A Report to Inform the Educational Master Plan for Pasadena Unified School District September 2016 September 2016 Executive Summary The journey begins with the end in mind – the vision of the optimal future of the PUSD We are the first choice in education for families and students who value academic excellence, innovation, and diversity in programs and students. We will maximize our fiscal, human and community resources to prepare our students today for the opportunities of tomorrow, provide and supportive environment, cultivate individual abilities and talents, graduate our students ready for college and career success, enable our students to be responsible and productive citizens, and become the employer of choice. The beginning of the journey This Educational Master Plan first grew out of the work of a committee convened in 2014-15 to go beyond aligning the three legs of facilities master planning (Programs, Facilities, and Demographics) to focus on three essential areas and questions below: • Equity – how do we integrate students from all sub groups; create equity of programs across the district for all students; and strengthen all schools’ core academic offerings (yet offer distinctive programs)? • Access for all students – Open enrollment vs. Neighborhood Schools – where on the continuum do we want to be? • Quality learning environment and sustainable campuses – what is the appropriate/sustainable school size? A Master Planning Team was then given a scope of work to develop a clear vision for the above, measure and analyze data related to current realities and stated priorities of the Board, and to direct staff to develop plans and processes to meet these priorities as well as design an effective monitoring and evaluation system to ensure their efficient implementation.

  • PCS Students Reaching out to the World Operation Christmas Child
    PA P UBLICATIONC OFS PASADENAc CHRISTIANen SCHOeO L VOLUME 24 NUMBER 01 SUMMER 2012 PCS Students Reaching Out To The World Learning to care for others starts early at PCS. In Kindergarten, students receive a weekly chart noting whether or not they were "Kind to my Friends." Students are also rewarded for doing nice things for their fellow students with a "Positive" Student Observation. This philosophy of looking out for others and living one's Christian ethics is integral to the school's core objectives, one of which is: Citizenship We strive to have each student: • Demonstrate sensitivity to the similarities and differences of others • Develop abilities to work productively in group settings • Demonstrate obedience and respect for those in authority to achieve optimal group goals • Identify with Christian ethics and values in all situations. (For a full list of objectives, see www.pasadenachristian.org/about-pcs/test2b.cfm.) Being an active, concerned world citizen starts early and continues on throughout one’s time at PCS. Through our many outreach opportunities on campus, our students can choose a variety of ways to help others – both near and far away. A few of our most popular, long-standing Student Outreach projects are highlighted in the following articles. Operation Christmas Child Beginning in October, all PCS students (even the preschoolers) are given an opportunity to fill a shoebox with small toys, school supplies, personal items, etc., for children in developing nations, through the organization Samaritan’s Purse. The shoeboxes join with thousands of others from around the world and are distributed at Christmas time to needy children.
