Dear Sac City Unified Families,

Today is March 1, and that means it’s the first day of Women’s History Month! We acknowledge and celebrate the often overlooked sacrifices and contributions of women throughout American history and within our communities each day.

FAFSA/CADAA Deadline is Tomorrow!

If you have a college-bound senior, be sure to fill out the FAFSA/CADAA no later than Thursday, March 2. Don’t leave free money for post-secondary education on the table!

College Scholarships Available

If your senior is planning on post-secondary education next fall, money is available to help with their tuition and school-related expenses. Explore district and community scholarships and apply by April 14, 2023 at scusd.edu/scholarships.

It’s almost time to renew your Medi-Cal coverage. If you receive a renewal form in the mail, your county needs more information. Fill it out and return it to keep yourself and your family covered. Visit KeepMediCalCoverage.org to sign up for email and text message alerts.

Food Support for Families Webinar

National Eating Disorders Awareness Week

Earlier this month, the SCUSD Board of Education approved a resolution to recognize Eating Disorders Awareness Week which is an annual campaign to educate the public about the realities of eating disorders. Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2023 takes place from Monday, February 27 to Sunday, March 5. If you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, find information, hope and support here.

Central Kitchen Mobile Food Truck

Starting Monday, our Central Kitchen food truck will be showing up at eight of our middle schools for breakfast service starting the weeks of March 6 and March 13. The mobile food truck was funded by No Kid Hungry with the goals of improving access to the school breakfast program and summer food service program. The Central Kitchen Food Truck is intended to offer freshly prepared meals that entice our students to participate in a healthy breakfast so they perform better in the classroom. Studies show a balanced breakfast improves student memory, alertness and concentration and decreases behavioral and psychological problems with lower rates of absenteeism and tardiness. Check out the mobile food truck schedule here.
