Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) has a long-standing commitment to educating the whole child. Our curriculum is designed to help students develop intellectually, physically, emotionally, ethically, aesthetically, and socially. We encourage students to become active, engaged learners and responsible citizens. At each grade level our teachers challenge students and help them achieve academic and intellectual competencies.
We have 12 elementary schools and 4 choice schools and programs to engage students at all learning levels.

Visual and Performing Arts Program
The arts are a critical and integrated part of our elementary curriculum. Students learn the arts as discrete subjects, each with its own unique content, and, where appropriate, connect the arts to concepts and themes from the academic curriculum. Art lessons are provided by trained specialists who rotate through elementary school classrooms. Music classes are taught by a traveling team of credentialed music teachers. A dance program is currently being piloted.
Progress Reports
Elementary Progress Reports give information about student progress
in relation to PAUSD grade-level standards. They assess students
on the most significant standards in the areas of language arts,
math, social studies, and science. Progress Reports are distributed
three times a year. Student progress is measured in relation to
the PAUSD grade-level standards for completion by the end of the
school year.
