At the Sept. 14 Board meeting, CUSD Trustees celebrated employees who are new to the district. Welcome to the family! #TeamCUSD #TheCeresWay
Ceres Unified School District is proud to continue our district-wide FACTOR program to help families support their children’s educational journey. These weekly workshops offer practical information on the social, emotional, and physical development of children in grades TK-12, along with useful information and resources for navigating the educational system, becoming college and career ready, and developing 21st century skills. Classes are offered in English and Spanish and include weekly raffles! For additional information, please contact Ceres Adult School at (209) 556-1557.
While CUSD students are achieving at high levels, school facilities are aging and in need of repair. In total, CUSD’s Facilities Master Plan identifies over $155 million of needed repairs and improvements across every school site. To learn more about steps CUSD is taking to address needed upgrades, please visit www.ceres.k12.ca.us/page/facilities-upgrades.
September is Suicide Prevention Month. The 988 Lifeline is available to support anyone through any emotional need — not just thoughts of suicide. By calling, texting, or chatting, anyone can connect with a trained crisis counselor who is ready to provide support at any time. CUSD also has mental health resources available to support students at all of our schools.
Downloadable PDFs of the parent and educator tips are available at https://5il.co/2458h.

Beginning on this #InternationalWomensDay and throughout March, which is #WomensHistoryMonth, we’ll feature women who were and are notable contributors to education in the Ceres community.
Meet Virginia “Betty” Parks, for whom Virginia Parks Elementary School is named! Active in the Ceres community for most of her life and passionate about education, Mrs. Parks served on the former Ceres High School Board of Trustees and, when the district unified in 1965, on the CUSD Board of Trustees. Mrs. Parks was a member of service organizations including Persephone Guild, served as director of the Ceres Chamber of Commerce, was instrumental to the founding of the Ceres Partnership for Healthy Children, and was named Ceres Citizen of the Year in 1977, among many other contributions and recognitions. 💙💛 #WomenRock #CeresLearns
