Dear FJUHSD Community,
Happy New Year, and welcome back to the second semester. I want to thank everyone for a fantastic first semester and everyone’s work for a successful beginning to the second semester!
This month, our focused theme is “Come See Our Awesome Schools Together” where we will be promoting our upcoming Open Houses with brand new marketing videos for each school and important open enrollment information. Each of our schools are unique with many programs to choose from. Please be sure to watch our videos and visit our schools during January.
We hope you enjoy our videos and the useful resources provided to you in our newsletter. See you at our Open Houses!
Steve McLaughlin, Ed.D.
Superintendent

Sonora High School - Pool |

Facilities & Construction Updates |
|
|
|
We are quickly approaching the completion of the demolition of the Sonora High School pool. We will reach that milestone over the Winter break and start the building process ten feet underground. We're hoping that any significant rain will hold off just a couple of more weeks. |

Business Services would like to give a huge shout-out to the students and Chef Mario from Fullerton Union High School for providing the delicious food for our Holiday Luncheon. We were so glad that David Montoya and the Ukulele Band at La Habra High School were able to provide festive entertainment. |

For the 2022-23 school year, FJUHSD was approved to implement Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) at Buena Park, Fullerton Union, La Habra, and La Vista High Schools. Parents with students who attend these schools will not be required to complete a lunch application form. Conversely, FJUHSD was not approved for CEP for Sunny Hills, Sonora, and Troy High Schools. While meals will continue to be served to students at no cost at non-CEP schools, the District will be encouraging parents who may qualify for free and reduced meals to complete a 2022-23 lunch application. The District Food Services team is here to support. Please contact us for questions or assistance at (714) 870-2820 or by email at foodservices@fjuhsd.org.

The Fullerton Joint Union High School District is fortunate to be served by many outstanding classified, certificated, supervisory, confidential, management and administrative staff members. Each month, Human Resources has the honor of showcasing a staff member or members who contribute to the support, development and success of our students and who help to make this District exceptional.
This month, Human Resources is proud to recognize District Mail and Utility Worker, Alan Tan.
Perhaps better than any other employee of the District, Alan Tan embodies this January’s newsletter theme of “Come See Our Awesome Schools Together.” This is true because each and every day Alan visits every school site, and the Education Center twice, to pick up and deliver the District’s mail. Through traffic, rain, extreme heat and COVID-19, Alan faithfully ensures that we all have the documents, packages and information that we need to perform our jobs well and to support our students, parents, staff and community to the fullest extent possible. As an added bonus, deliveries from Alan are always accompanied by a warm smile and a friendly greeting. Without this daily service, our abilities to perform our duties in an efficient and timely manner would be immediately and significantly limited, something we likely do not consider and take for granted each time Alan stops by to drop off or pick up our mail.
Thank you Mr. Tan for your exceptional service to our staff, students, parents, community and District! You truly represent the excellence among us.

Suicide Prevention Lifeline
988 has been designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. While some areas may be currently able to connect to the Lifeline by dialing 988, this dialing code will be available to everyone across the United States starting on July 16, 2022.
When people call, text, or chat 988, they will be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network. These trained counselors will listen, understand how their problems are affecting them, provide support, and connect them to resources if necessary.
