Campus Updates & Reminders:
We are in the final week of school before we head into Winter Break. For many, this can bring a time of joy and happiness, while also bringing feelings of stress. While you get ready to transition into the next two weeks at home with your student, know that there are still resources available to support you and your child. Visit our district’s mental health and wellness website for more resources: https://www.djusd.net/departments/student_support_services/mental_health_and_wellness
PTO Message:
Thank you to the many families who contributed to this year’s Giving Tree. We were able to support 52 families this year as they head into the winter season.
There will be no PTO meeting this month. We will see you again in January!
Social Justice Corner:
This month we learned about two social justice court cases that were at the center of the Language Justice movement! You can learn more about these landmark cases and how they supported language justice using these links:
