Superintendent's Message
Dear JUHSD Community,
This past Monday, JUHSD staff joined community members in support of the District's Serramonte del Rey (SDR) Project before the Daly City Council's October 25th meeting. Though the District was allowed to present the project proposal during the meeting, the Council postponed a postponed vote on our Preliminary Plan to their January 10, 2022 meeting.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our staff and community who are supporting JUHSD by writing letters, signing petitions, and speaking at meetings. Your continued efforts are crucial in the District moving forward with this project.
The overall goal of the SDR Project is to generate revenue for the district to support staff salaries and student programs, without having to seek additional local taxes. The revenue from this project will allow us to attract and retain great teachers, while providing affordable housing to the staff and community. Additional green space will be included in the plan, along with the creation of an accessible ADA compliant community garden, and much more.
For additional information on the Serramonte del Rey project, including answers to frequently asked questions, please visit the SDR Project Website.
Please take a moment to sign this online petition in favor of the Serramonte del Rey project proposal and JUHSD by clicking HERE. We thank you for your support!
Have a great weekend.
Warmly,
Toni Presta
Superintendent

District's ATP Workability Program
Now in it's sixteenth year, the ATP Workability Program pairs students with Daly City and Pacifica business providing them with customer service training necessary to be successful in a public employment setting. Emily Hanson, District Transition Specialist, shared that this program provides our ATP students will many important life skills such as how to take public transportation, navigate through a community, and manage finances. The program also teaches students to be more independent and self-reliant, while boosting their self-esteem and confidence.
Kim Schroeder, District Job Developer and Coach, stated from inception, this program is a win-win for the District and community. Along with providing daily living skills, this program allows students to work with local businesses, while having the opportunity to view school in a real world setting. She mentioned how happy students are when getting ready for their shift and that they truly value their time working alongside fellow company employees. Many businesses hire ATP students to stay on with their company long after District students have completed this program.
Participating local businesses include Sea Bowl, Walgreens, Sprouts Market, Costco, Daly City Youth Health Center, Sizzler, Old Navy, Dave & Busters, San Pedro Park, Ace Hardware, and volunteering at our JUHSD District Office. We thank these amazing businesses for their supporting and partnering with our Adult Transition Program!
