Superintendent's Message
Dear JUHSD Community,
In observance of Veterans Day, our district office and schools will be closed on Thursday, November 11, 2021. Veterans Day is a holiday to honor our military veterans, their service, and the sacrifices they and their families have made to protect our country. I encourage our school community to learn more about the role veterans have played in U.S. history by clicking here. To all our veterans, we thank you.
Please note that school is in session on Friday, November 12th.
Have a great weekend.
Warmly,
Toni Presta
Superintendent

COVID Testing for Students
Testing is strictly voluntary for all students, with the exception of those who participate in close contact sports (indoors without masks). Those students are subject to mandatory testing and will be notified separately of their requirement to test.
All students whom wish to test will need to register, only once. Students under the age of 18 must have guardian consent to complete the registration form.
Links for registration are school site specific, so each student will need to register for testing at their specific school:
More more information, please contact Michele Jones, District COVID Response Director.

National STEM & STEAM Day
National STEM/STEAM Day is held on November 8th, encouraging and inspiring young people to explore and pursue their interests in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.
JUHSD Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways offer a curriculum that aims to strengthen STEAM literacy and ignite interest in STEAM-related careers among all students. Our CTE programs are high-quality and provide a deeper understanding of STEAM career pathways, building interest and skills in STEAM by making content more relevant and tangible.
CTE pathways demonstrate the link between what's taught in the classroom with the wider world. CTE Capstone graduates will gain the skills and knowledge necessary to be global citizens, effective communicators, industry-ready, problem solvers, critical thinkers, and leaders. Our project and problem based learning illustrates the power of CTE and STEAM to address real-world challenges.
For more information on our District's CTE program, please view their October 2021 Newsletter.
