Welcome back SLUSD Students, Families and Staff!
We are off to another exciting year in SLUSD. As a community, we are focused on building a “Culture of Excellence” as detailed in our
three-year Strategic Action Plan
. With the first year complete, we are proud of the many accomplishments including our distinguished AP District of the Year Award from the College Board, our expanded early bilingual education programs and our socio-emotionally infused classrooms. Our ultimate goal is to prepare students to be critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, effective communicators and active citizens.
The importance of our community in supporting our students and educators through positive reciprocal relationships is central to our mission. Consistent communication between schools and families is imperative as we work to build bridges between home and school. Facility improvements are also underway at all campuses, thanks to the voters in San Leandro for passing Measure J1. Please review our bond project updates, the details of our strategic plan and other exciting information about SLUSD by visiting our website at

Sincerely,
Mike McLaughlin, Ed.D
Superintendent

Thank you to SLED
The success of our schools is a reflection of the strong community support education has here in San Leandro. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the San Leandro Education Foundation (SLED), a community based non-profit that makes a significant impact at each of the thirteen schools in the district.
Each year, individuals, companies, and foundations contribute thousands of dollars to help make sure teachers and students receive what need for an enriched educational experience. Whether it is through teacher mini-grants that provide materials for special projects, camperships for our most in-need fifth graders, or funding family science night at our middle schools, SLED is there to provide that little extra our teachers and students need.
This year, we are excited that SLED is making a $100,000 contribution to pilot science labs at two of our elementary schools. Stay tuned for more details in upcoming communications. In the meantime, to learn more about SLED and how you can help, visit
www.sledfund.org
or look for them on Facebook.

Every Approved School Lunch Application Could Be Worth Thousands of Dollars for SLUSD
We are asking our families to help us generate more revenue for SLUSD by filling out a student lunch application
HERE
before the end of September, even if your child doesn’t use our meal services. Our state and federal funding is based on how many students qualify for free and reduced lunch, so more approved applications can mean more resources for all district students. If you have any questions regarding eligibility or filling out the application, please feel free to call our Food Services Department at 510-667-3508.

Every Monday is College Day in SLUSD
We feel that conversations about college can’t start too soon! With that in mind, and to support our strategic action plan goal #2: Equity and Inclusion Through College and Career Readiness, we encourage everyone in San Leandro Unified to wear college gear every Monday at all of our schools. Some of our sites already celebrate this tradition, but now we hope to go district-wide. We have heard from our staff that something as simple as a shirt has started in-depth dialogues about the difficult post-secondary path. We hope you can join us in creating a college-bound culture of excellence.

That's why SLUSD's Food and Nutrition Services department offers free breakfast every morning to students at every school across the district.

Summer was a busy time for our facilities team as they took advantage of quiet campuses fulfilling maintenance requests and completing larger scale work funded by our J1 bond dollars. Roofing and HVAC work is in process at select campuses, security systems have been upgraded district-wide and new kitchens are almost complete at Washington and Garfield Elementary. For a full list of project details please visit the
