We had the opportunity to welcome Special Guest Speaker, Dr. Victor Rios; Author, Dean of Social Sciences, and Professor of Sociology at University of California, Santa Barbara, who inspired us with his words to continue to provide an environment of love and rigor to each and every one of our students.

Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year!  I am so excited to begin this new year with all of you! After offering a more inclusive summer school experience at all sites, our staff is busy preparing for a 100% in-person learning year and we are looking forward to receiving all students back at their schools on Tuesday, August 17th. Schools will be sending out information about activities to welcome everyone back so be on the lookout.  We will also communicate updated safety guidelines.  They are aligned to the guidance we have received from the California Department of Public Health and Fresno County.

Next Tuesday is a long overdue First Day of School! Please be on the look-out for our kids walking to and from school and be patient with the extra flow of traffic in the mornings and afternoons. Though we are not completely "back to normal" as we hoped, we have faith that the strength that got us through the past 18 months will carry us through a successful year!

¡El próximo martes es el primer día de clases que hemos anticipado! Estén atentos a nuestros estudiantes cuando caminen hacia la escuela y sus hogares y favor de tener paciencia con el flujo adicional de tráfico en las mañanas y tardes. Aunque no hemos vuelto a la “normalidad" por completo como esperábamos, tenemos fe en que la fuerza que nos ayudó a superar los últimos 18 meses nos ayudará a tener un año exitoso.
