2024-2025 Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP): The intention of the Placerville Union School District is to provide a safe and supportive environment where students will access academic and enrichment services beyond that which is offered during the regular school day. PUSD will coordinate with the Boy's and Girls' club of the El Dorado Western Slope and the El Dorado County Office of Education Extended Day program to ensure that all the qualifying students grades TK-6, whose parents would like to utilize the 9-Hour program have access to one of the programs offered.

ALL PUSD SCHOOLS CLOSED MARCH 1st DUE TO POWER OUTAGE Good Morning Placerville Families, As many of you know most of Placerville is without power with no estimation of when power will be restored. All schools in PUSD are without power at this time. Also many of the roads in the outlying areas are extremely icy and would be very difficult for our busses to run. With both of these issues we will have to close school today Wednesday March 1st. We apologize for this change in plans but are hoping to have power restored and roads in much better shape so that we can safely be open tomorrow. Have a nice day. Eric Bonniksen

Today Feb. 24th all schools in the Placerville School District will be on a one hour delay start. All schools will start one hour later than normal and all bus runs will be one hour later.

"Due to the power outage effecting most of Placerville, PUSD will be on a one hour delay start. All schools will be starting one hour later than normal and all bus routes will run one hour later than normal. We are currently in contact with PG&E to assess the situation. If anything changes we will notify you immediately. " - Eric Bonniksen
