Superintendent Jorge A. Aguilar

I am proud of the work that our district has done hand-in-hand with our community to better educate the public about why these name changes are needed. It is my hope that this action is found to be restorative, and the new identities of Miwok, Suy:u, and Umoja schools will be universally embraced by our students and families when they return this fall.

I encourage everyone to help us spread the word to the families in our community that there are free and nutritious meals available for those who are 18-and-under at many of our school sites this summer. Thank you to our SCUSD Central Kitchen team for making an incredible impact in the lives of children and teens this summer!

Sacramento City Unified free summer meals program returns: What to know Participating schools in the SCUSD will offer free breakfast and lunch to children under 18 on campus with no enrollment or paperwork required.

I had the honor of attending all 15 of our graduation ceremonies this month. I would like to acknowledge that this year’s graduating class had one of the most unique experiences in our history as the Covid pandemic started near the end of their freshman year in 2020. I wish all of them happiness and success in their next journey.

We are deeply, deeply proud in Sac City of the rich diversity in our District and that diversity will always extend beyond just race, ethnicity, religion, to include our LGBTQ+ students and staff. Happy Pride Month!

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to join forces with fellow Carnegie Postsecondary Commission members working to bring about a future where every young person has equitable access to high-quality postsecondary opportunities. Let’s empower the next generation of learners to dream and DO big!

Carnegie Postsecondary Commission Supports Upward Mobility of Underrepresented Students The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching supports the upward mobility of underrepresented students.

At Sac City Unified we believe that facilities planning is neighborhood planning, and to lift our neighborhoods, we must also elevate the conditions of our school facilities like Kemble/Chavez in a way that focuses on safety, flexibility and creating innovative spaces that promote social emotional learning. The construction of the new Kemble/Chavez demonstrates Sac City’s unwavering commitment to equity and improving the outcomes of students who have been historically underserved.

I am so proud of all of our student-athletes this year. We’re all cheering for Melinda Pearson, Jada Henriques, Marlee Cavitt, Dejah Dean, Anna McNatt, and Victor Noble as they compete with the best of California!

This weekend is the 103rd CIF State Track & Field Championships being held in Clovis, and Sac City Unified is rooting for our qualifiers:

Kennedy’s Girls 4×100 Meter Relay team of Melinda Pearson, Jada Henriques, Marlee Cavitt, and Dejah Dean.

Kennedy’s Marlee Cavitt will be competing in the Girls 100 Meter Race.

C.K. McClatchy’s Anna McNatt will run in the Girls 3200 Meter Race.

Rosemont’s Victor Noble will compete in the Long Jump event.

I am so proud to see the impact that these fairs have brought each month this school year. There is a true feeling of unity, vibrancy and community every time we host one of these events. Families are connected with incredible community partners, our schools are reimagined in ways that will inspire students to attend each day, the talent of our students are on full display, and our District has the opportunity to share resources and career opportunities.

Thank you to our Classified Employees for serving our students, families, and community. We appreciate all that you do to get our students to school and keep our schools safe, clean and running!

Happy Classified School Employee Week! Classified employees are essential to keeping our schools running smoothly, including bus drivers, office staff, paraeducators, school safety officers, custodial and maintenance staff, and technical staff. Thank you for all you do for our students each and every day!

Excited to announce that Sac City Unified is able to extend our hours for the Summer Matters program to help working families!

Throw your hands in the air for extended hours for elementary and K-8 summer program sites! You asked, we listened. We're extending summer program hours until 5pm, although students may be picked up earlier if you prefer.

If you've already applied, no need to reapply, but if you haven't yet, apply by Monday, May 15 at https://www.youthdevelopmentscusd.org/summer-matters-incoming-k6
