Campus Updates & Reminders:
This time of year can often present challenges for many families. DJUSD has gathered a list of basic resources, including food distribution and mental health support services.

A few weeks ago, several coyotes were recognized at the DJUSD Board Meeting as recipients for the “Values in Action” award. The next round of nominations are now open! If you know a student, staff member, or community member that deserves to be recognized for their contributions to Korematsu, you can do so here: https://www.djusd.net/strategic_plan_/values_in_action_awards_program
