This month, Perris Elementary students are learning about empathy, the power to understand and share the feelings of others. Through songs, stories, and activities, they’re discovering how kind words and caring choices build belonging and strengthen friendships.
Families can nurture empathy at home by asking questions like, “How do you think they felt?” or “What can we do to help?”

This week, students from across PESD will take center stage during Student-Led Conferences, sharing their progress, goals, and areas for growth with their families.
These conferences help build confidence and self-advocacy, one of our district’s six SEL Superpowers, and bring the Perris Promise to life. Students are proud to share their learning, and families leave inspired by their child’s leadership, growth, and voice in their education.
📅 Reminder: There is no school for students on Friday, November 21.
Please look out for more information from your school about conference times and details.
