Superintendent's Message
Dear JUHSD Community,
I hope this message finds you well. Slowly, but surely, the number of COVID-19 cases being reported to the District are dropping. This is a good sign that we doing our part to fight off the Omicron Variant as it sweeps through the Bay Area.
I ask that you keep doing what you're doing. Wearing high quality face masks, getting vaccinated, maintaining healthy hygiene practices and keeping social distance is making a difference. I thank you for your diligence in stopping the spread of this virus.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Warmly,
Toni Presta
Superintendent

Honoring Black History Month
The Black History Month 2022 theme, “Black Health and Wellness,” explores "the legacy of not only Black scholars and medical practitioners in Western medicine, but also other ways of knowing (e.g., birthworkers, doulas, midwives, naturopaths, herbalists, etc.) throughout the African Diaspora. The 2022 theme considers activities, rituals and initiatives that Black communities have done to be well."
