End-of-Year Message – 2020-2021
Dear Sacramento City Unified Families:
As we conclude this school year and look back at the previous year and a half, I’ve been inspired by the resiliency of our students, families, teachers and staff. Navigating learning during a global pandemic was incredibly challenging and required flexibility and grace. The Sac City Unified community demonstrated enormous strength as we faced one of the most challenging times in our lives.

SCUSD is Proud to Recognize LGBTQ+ Pride Month!
Did you know that the first Queer & Trans Pride marches occurred one year after Stonewall?
Early in the liberation movement, Pride was a protest. It was a time to bring visibility to the brutality with which queer and trans communities faced. The Stonewall Uprising was one of the key uprisings led by trans women of color like Marsha P. Johnson and Silvia Rivera that served as the catalyst for the Queer & Transgender Pride movement we have today.
