TJUHS District News

We are excited to announce that Marissa Nunes has joined our school community as the new Community School Coordinator! With her passion for fostering positive relationships between students, families, and the broader community, Marissa is eager to contribute to our school’s ongoing efforts to create a supportive, inclusive environment for all. Marissa is serving our four Opportunity Education Sites: Tech Prep, Sierra Vista, Countryside, and Accelerated Charter. At Tech Prep and Countryside, we kicked off the year with the creation of a Cares Closet. From there, both sites have hosted many events; those being, a Resource Fair, CSET Presentations, Food Drive, Winter Coat Drive, and pumpkin painting. At Accelerated Charter High School, we have had the opportunity to further add to our Cares Closet, which allowed us to open it up to families and students on the day that a big assembly was held. In addition, we have had a Thanksgiving Food Drive that allowed for baskets of Thanksgiving dinners for five families, lots of case management, and connection to CSET. Our Community School Coordinator is currently working alongside all staff and one of our partners to provide each and every student with a Christmas Stocking. At Sierra Vista, there has been lots of case management, Thanksgiving Food Drive, Winter Coat Drive, and an abundance of resources sent out virtually. Our students have had the opportunity to meet with our coordinator virtually and in person to access all of our resources, services, and donations. Our Opportunity Education Sites are delighted to welcome our new addition of our Community School Coordinator to our campuses, as we have seen large growth in services, resources, and accessibility for our students and families.
