Free Before and After School Care

Dear Sac City Families,

It’s almost time to go back to school, and Expanded Learning is a great option for working families who need additional care or study time for their young scholar before and/or after school. All of our before and after school programs are grant-funded and families do not need to pay for these programs.

Free Expanded Learning programs are available for all Sac City Unified students entering Transitional Kindergarten through 12th grade.

Sacramento County COVID Community Level Update

Dear Sac City Families,

The CDC’s Covid Community Level for Sacramento County remains at the High Level as numbers fluctuated upward compared to last week. The case rate is at 294.96, and hospitalizations are at 17.1 per 100,000.  As a reminder, the High Community Level for Covid means the District’s indoor masking requirement remains in place for both school and work occurring this summer. We will continue to update you on these numbers, and we thank you for your continued adherence to these safety measures.

Summer COVID Testing Updates

Dear Sac City Families,
COVID TESTING CONSENT 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR  

Please note that you must re-consent your student for Covid-19 testing using Primary Health this summer for the 2022-2023 school year. Consent is required annually. If your student is currently consented, you should receive a weekly message via email or text from Primary Health prompting you to re-consent. These messages will stop once the new consent is submitted. The process is very simple and just takes a few clicks.

Summer Mobile Food Pantry

Dear Sac City Families,

This summer, beginning today, our Nutrition Services department will be offering free food boxes and fresh produce to community members at five different locations each weekday between Monday, June 27 and Friday, August 12. Grab-and-go curbside distribution is available 8:00am – 9:30am on the assigned days.

The Mobile Food Pantry is available to all community members – no enrollment in SCUSD is necessary. Grocery boxes and produce will be available to all community members on a first-come, first-served basis.

e-Connections Post Transitional Kindergarten

Deadline to provide input on SCUSD’s Transitional Kindergarten program is this Thursday

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is an optional program that gives children an additional year of preparation, so they enter kindergarten with stronger academic, social, and emotional skills needed for future success in school. Assembly Bill 130, signed by Governor Newsom last July, expands TK programs to make it available to all 4-year-olds by 2025-2026.

Sacramento County COVID Community Level Update

Dear Sac City Families,

Sacramento County remains at the CDC’s High Community Level, but there are signs the data is trending downward. We want to emphasize that the case rate (279.76) and hospitalizations (14.2) are both at high levels, but both metrics are lower than in previous weeks.  Based on this data, the District’s indoor masking requirement remains in place as we start our summer programming. We will continue to update you on these numbers throughout the summer.

SCUSD Board Approves Budget for 2022-23 School Year

Dear Sac City Families,

At last night’s Board of Education meeting, Board members unanimously approved a proposed $690 million budget for the 2022-2023 school year.  This budget allows Sac City Unified to address important student needs with the use of one-time funding while keeping the District on its path toward long-term solvency.  The District budget is still subject to revision for a 45-day window after the State gives final approval to its budget.
