Dear FJUHSD Staff, Students, and Community,
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we hope you're enjoying a relaxing summer filled with opportunities to rest, recharge, and reconnect. While summer break is in full swing, things remain active here at FJUHSD as we gear up for the start of the 2025/26 school year. Throughout the District, our teams are hard at work preparing for a strong and seamless return this August. From welcoming new staff to launching new initiatives, there’s great energy and excitement building for the year ahead.
As school orientations approach, we encourage families to check in with their individual school sites for specific dates and reminders. Don’t forget to complete your Data Confirmation to ensure everything is in place before the first day. Our District Office and school campuses remain open all summer, with staff available to support students and families with any questions or needs that may arise. We also invite you to stay informed by visiting our District website and following us on Instagram and Facebook for the latest news, updates, and celebrations.
This summer, we’re especially proud to share the graduation videos from each of our schools, capturing the unforgettable moments of the Class of 2025. These videos highlight the remarkable achievements of our students and serve as a heartfelt reminder of the strength, resilience, and unity of the FJUHSD community. Be sure to check out the links below to relive these powerful milestones.
Thank you for taking the time to stay connected. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back soon and begin the 2025/26 school year together with fresh momentum and shared purpose. Let’s continue Uniting Communities, Engaging Minds, and Building Futures together.
Sincerely,
Steve McLaughlin, Ed.D.
Superintendent
