A Note From Our School Board President
|
|
My name is Alicia Cruz and it is a pleasure to serve another term as the Board President of the Washington Unified School District, West Sacramento (WUSD). I am entering my 4th year on the WUSD school board and I am proud to be a part of public education in West Sacramento.
Over the years our board has created various partnerships, programs and made financial decisions in which we were able to get the district out of a financial deficit. We have been able to provide raises for teachers, staff, management and administration without having to furlough or lay off any employees. Thus, we are able to retain and sustain the best teachers and staff for our students and district.

The competition is open to all Elkhorn K-8th grade students. Students will compete individually on a grade level math test with the option of participating in a team test. Students opting out of the team test will have STEM-related activities to participate in. Elkhorn adopted this model from MESA Math Competitions their MESA advisors and students attended in the past. Last year, the first ever school-wide competition had over 120 students from all grade levels participate along with many teacher, parent, and community volunteers – it was amazing to see and they are gearing up for another great event this year.
