CC Events are not drop-off nor are the CC staff responsible for supervising students at these events. Parents are responsible for providing supervision of their children for every Community Connection activity, event and field trip.
All events will be found and registered for on www.inspirationstation.org. Then you can search for your area and find exciting events. In the newsletters Community Coordinators also link to the registration for events to make it easy for you.

Requesting A New Service Vendor
The first step is to fill out the Vendor Application Survey. This can be filled out by the vendor, the parent, or a teacher. The more information, the better: this includes a good contact person and an email address. Once we receive the survey, we will send the required documents to the vendor within 2 business days. Once they send the 4 required documents back to us, we can add them to the approved vendor list.
High School
High School Counselor's Update
Welcome back! My name is Carmen Marroquin and I am your high school counselor. Here’s a link to my bio if you’d like to know a little bit about me!
I am here to support you and your high schooler throughout their high school career. As a school counselor, my primary goal is to promote social, emotional, and academic growth among all students. I will email out helpful tips and information related to college and career planning throughout the school year, so keep an eye out for those messages.
Some cool things coming from the Counseling Department include college advising, grade level emails, virtual info sessions, college application workshops, financial aid workshops, concurrent enrollment resources, and college and career planning resources.
Families can continue to reach out to me directly to schedule phone or virtual appointments at cmarroquin@inspireschools.org or at (209)720-7177. This year I will offer in-person office hours in Fresno and Merced beginning in September! Families will have priority for in-person time slots.
I look forward to working with you! Have a great 2019-2020 school year!
