Schools Closed Monday January 9, 2023

Dear Sacramento City Unified Families, 

The continued severe storms impacting the Sacramento area have left at least six (6) of our schools without electricity and we do not expect that power will be restored by tomorrow morning. We have been in close contact with SMUD throughout the day and do not have a timeline for the full restoration of power. That fact, combined with the expected strong winds and heavy rain overnight, make it necessary to close all campuses for the day for the safety of our students and staff.

We are writing to keep you informed about our response to the recent storms and the potential impact on the scheduled resumption of classes tomorrow.

As you are aware, the storms and wind have caused widespread power outages across the Sacramento area. We are in communication with SMUD about the efforts to restore power and better understand how these outages will affect our campuses, students and staff.

Your Wednesday, October 26 Sac City Scroll

Dear Sac City Unified families,

Did you know that today is Sacramento Poetry Day? Here’s an excerpt of a poem by a Sacramento poet, April Walker, to celebrate: 

“We all have our own inner rainbow!

I am thankful for our healing light.

Let us shine, in our own way, oh so bright! 

And remember you’re an artist, so let it flow! 

Feel your power and say, ‘I AM A RAINBOW!’”
