A Message from the Principal
On behalf of PUSD and the staff of Paradise Elementary School, it is my pleasure to welcome incoming kindergarten students and their families to our school. We hope you and your child are looking forward to this experience with a feeling of happy anticipation. We are committed to providing a successful school experience in a learning environment that will meet your child's individual needs, and achieve the best education possible.
Kindergarten Registration Begins February 13th at All Paradise U.S.D. Elementary Schools
Kindergarten registration for the 2012-13 school year begins on Monday, February 13, 2012 at all Paradise USD elementary schools. Children born on or before November 1, 2007 are eligible for enrollment and may be registered at the school in their attendance area. Registration hours are 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Early registration is recommended as spaces at individual schools may be limited.
Parents or legal guardians are required to present birth certificates and proof of immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTP); polio; measles, mumps, rubella (MMR); hepatitis B; and varicella (chicken pox), or proof of chicken pox disease. A pre-kindergarten physical by a physician is also recommended and will satisfy the state's requirement for a physical examination within 18 months prior to entering first grade.
Children entering public school for the first time, in kindergarten or first grade, are to have a dental check-up by a licensed dental professional by May 31st of the first school year. Oral health evaluations that occurred within the 12 months prior to school entry also meet this requirement.
For additional information contact our office at 872-6415.
Transitional Kindergarten
The Kindergarten Readiness Act provides an opportunity for children born between November 2 and December 2, 2007, to enter a two year kindergarten program, the first year of which will provide a bridge between preschool and an increasingly academic kindergarten. These students who turn five in November will attend Transitional Kindergarten their first year and traditional kindergarten their second year. They will have the opportunity to gain skills and confidence which will serve them well in kindergarten.
For the 2012-13 school year, PUSD is moving forward with plans to offer TK for students who turn five years of age during the month of November, even though the future of the program is somewhat uncertain. Funding for TK is still being debated in the state legislature and our ability to offer the program may be impacted by their decisions. While we will be prepared to offer the TK program, we realize decisions made by the state about legislation and/or funding may postpone program implementation. Meanwhile, we are preparing for this exciting opportunity.
Once we have a clearer picture of enrollment numbers, we will be able to determine which school sites will provide TK.
Mrs. Moseley,
Principal, Paradise Elementary School

"Preparing Our Children for Their Future"
The mission of Paradise Elementary School is to provide educational opportunities for all students, enabling them to reach their intellectual, social, physical and emotional potential in an ever-changing and challenging world. At Paradise Elementary School we believe all students have a right to learn in a safe, nurturing learning environment. To fulfill our mission, we have established high standards in both academic and behavioral areas and provide opportunities for all students to successfully meet these standards. Our school plan focuses on students achieving proficiency on the state content standards. Teachers teach while continuously reviewing student assessment results to ensure the success of all. This continuous evaluation of student achievement guides our instruction.
Our school environment promotes "Respect, Responsibility and Safety" (RRS) among all individuals and focuses on the asset development of students. PES is an active BEST (Building Effective Schools Together) school site. BEST/RRS team members promote activities that reinforce these behavioral expectations and encourage students to take leadership roles in the school. Students are recognized and rewarded frequently for appropriate behavior and gracious manners along with their academic achievement.
PES offers a "blended services" student academic support program called "Team Success" recognized since 2000 by Cal STAT as an exemplary program for supporting all students. Team Success provides academic support for general education, special education and Title I students who demonstrate a need in any academic area. Team Success personnel collaborate, teach and participate in general education classrooms supporting all students' academic, physical, behavioral, social or emotional needs.
We are fortunate to have wonderful parent and community involvement and support. Parents are active on our School Site Council, along with our Panther Club Parent Organization. Parents plan and organize school-wide activities, rewards, and fundraisers including an Ice Cream Social, Silent Auction, Book Fair and Trade-A-Book events. Parents and community members are welcome and active in classrooms and at the school site.
We are proud of our students and their achievements, both academically and behaviorally. We invite parents, grandparents and community members to visit our school. It is only through the cooperative efforts of the school and the home that each child will receive the benefit of an excellent learning experience. Families are essential in this partnership and we look forward to working with you in the development of your child. It is our privilege to be part of your child's educational journey.
