Dear PJUSD Community,

On Monday, our district held its third School Naming Committee meeting. After reviewing a total of 1,797 community votes, we are excited to announce that the committee has made its final recommendation for the name of our new school!

This recommendation will be presented to our Trustees at the next School Board meeting on Monday, October 7th. The Board will consider the committee’s recommendation, which was made in collaboration with input from our entire community.

We eagerly await the Board’s decision and look forward to sharing our committee's name recommendation for our new elementary school at the October 7th, 2024 School Board meeting.

Stay tuned for more updates, news, and announcements regarding the development of our new elementary school!

Dear PJUSD Community,

Our district held the second school naming committee meeting. After a brief recap of our last meeting, our School Naming Committee reviewed all the submissions provided by our community. The committee members then brainstormed in revolving sessions to narrow down more than 70 suggested names to a shortlist of five.

Now, we ask for our community’s participation once again to help us narrow down these choices so we can provide a final recommendation to our School Board of Trustees on October 7th. Please use the attached survey to vote for your favorite names. We are proud to announce that the shortlist includes the following options:

1. Almond Blossom Elementary (ABE)
2. Orchard Blossom Elementary (OBE)
3. Ward Elementary (WE)
4. Canyon View Elementary (CVE)
5. Golden Hills Elementary (GHE)

We are excited to receive your feedback once again. The survey will be available starting now on our district's School Construction page on our website and will close at 4:30 PM on Friday, September 13th. We value your input and look forward to reviewing the results at our next Ad Hoc committee meeting in a few weeks.

Community members residing in Trustee Area 2 and it's surrounding area who are interested in participating can apply by filling out the application form located on our Construction Page.
