In order to ensure that no child goes hungry when the regular school year is not in session, SAUSD offers nutritious breakfasts and lunches at no charge for children between the ages of 1 and 18 during the summer months. The meals are offered at 60 participating locations, Monday through Friday, throughout the city of Santa Ana. Last year, the summer feeding program served approximately 14,000 meals per day. We encourage all children in Santa Ana who wish to receive a nutritious meal at no charge to visit one of our sites this summer. For meal schedules in both English and Spanish, click here.

The District is pleased to announce that we will be offering Full Day Kindergarten and Extended Day options for students for the 2019-20 school year at all elementary schools. This will make an extraordinary difference for our students and reinforce our early learning focus. For more information, please contact Pupil Support Services at (714) 433-3481 or your elementary school of choice.

Graduation videos for all SAUSD high schools are now available for viewing online and on the District's cable TV station, Spectrum Channel 31. SAUSD is proud to celebrate that in 2019, more than 3,100 students graduated from our high schools with 62 also graduating with AA degrees from Santa Ana College. In addition, 693 students received Seals of Biliteracy. With a variety of college readiness programs including dual enrollment in college courses, dual language immersion, International Baccalaureate (IB), expanded Advanced Placement (AP), and 55 career pathways, SAUSD graduates are equipped and ready to compete competitively in our global economy.

Congratulations to Macarthur Fundamental Intermediate, Thorpe Fundamental Elementary, Muir Fundamental Elementary, and Middle College High School for being identified as 2018- 2019 Honor Roll Schools.

For districts with high schools, the Honor Roll recognition also includes measures of college readiness. This year, the California Honor Roll recognized 26 higher-performing districts and 1,831 higher-performing schools.
