Stockton Unified School District is excited to announce the appointment of Mr. John Ramirez, Jr. as Interim Superintendent. Mr. Ramirez was appointed at the February 9, 2021 Board of Trustees Meeting.

Mr. Ramirez brings to SUSD more than 25 years of administrative excellence and a long list of administrative accolades and accomplishments. His groundbreaking work in educational equity - including 1:1 technology initiative, free meal distribution, and labor management initiatives - resulted in transformative development and growth at his hometown school district, Alisal Union School District, where he served from 2010-2016.

“This is a great day for Stockton’s educational community and the city. John Ramirez, Jr. is a proven leader who has worked to unite educational institutions under one guiding principle - to improve the quality of education for all students,” said Board President Cecilia Mendez.

Mr. Ramirez’s journey began in the ag fields of the Salinas Valley where, as a child, he worked with his parents to help support the household. Mr. Ramirez ascended from the ag industry to the ivy league, and from strawberry picking to the Superintendent’s seat.

A product of the Harvard University Graduate School of Education, Mr. Ramirez holds an M.Ed. in Human Development and Education. He completed his undergraduate work at Santa Clara University, where he later returned to serve as an Adjunct Professor.

On behalf of Stockton Unified, we would like inform you that are Open Enrollment for our Elementary Schools is now open and will close on March 31st.

Open Enrollment offers students an opportunity to attend schools outside of their attendance area. Admittance to the school of your choice under the Open Enrollment process is done by a random lottery system. Please visit our Central Enrollment website at www.stocktonusd.net/enrollment for more information.

The full announcement is available here. 

To help address the learning challenges caused by the pandemic, SUSD reaffirms its commitment to have students spend at least 45 minutes a week in i-Ready’s Personalized Instruction Program in Reading and in Math. SUSD hereby announces the i-Ready Challenge Contest for students in grades K-8 which will begin on February 22 and end on April 30.

We have evidence students can accelerate their learning using i-Ready’s My Pathway. Students have already progressed more than 2 grade levels in specific content areas. In addition, we know passing i-Ready’s on-line lessons is statistically positively associated with achievement gains. Our goal is to increase the proportion of SUSD’s K-8 students making the 45-minute target in each subject. We are providing support to our teachers to effectively implement personalized learning and hope to partner with parents to help monitor students’ progress at home.

K-8 students meeting the 45-minute target will have the opportunity to participate in the weekly drawing where one student will win a $20 gift card. At the end of the contest there will be another drawing where one eligible student will win either Apple Airpods or a Kindle Fire. In addition, there will be prizes for the K-8 schools with the most points and greatest growth as well as for the class with the highest average participation.

In i-Ready, students work at their own pace in their personalized learning pathways focused on the skills they need to master regardless of their grade level. In combination with the instruction and support of SUSD’s amazing teachers, i-Ready helps students with below grade level skills address their skill gaps and those at grade level move into advanced content.

We look forward to partnering with parents, teachers, and i-Ready to accelerate learning for all students!

GreatSchools.org and Stockton Unified School District have partner to equitably serve more than 40,000 students amid pandemic. The new partnership will deliver grade-based newsletters to parents, helping build community and support student success in kindergarten through high school graduation.

As schools across the country start off the year with remote instruction, in-person learning, or both, school districts have an even greater need to safely build stronger communities and equitable outcomes for all students. In their most recent annual survey of 3,264 parents receiving GreatSchools.org’s grade-based newsletters, 94% reported that the newsletters helped them understand and support their child’s learning, 87% reported that the newsletters supported them during school closures, 84% of parents reported that the newsletters helped them to feel more confident communicating with the teacher, and 64% reported that their child is doing better in school academically, socially and/or emotionally, or both, since they began reading the newsletters.
