Happy Law Enforcement Appreciation Day! At last night’s board meeting, we proudly recognized and welcomed Deputy Serrano as our new School Resource Officer. Our schools have long valued the support and partnership of local law enforcement, and we look forward to strengthening that collaboration through this new resource officer role.
Superintendent Aldaco took time to recognize and honor our Board of Trustees in celebration of Board Appreciation Month. Their leadership, dedication, and commitment play an invaluable role in guiding our district and supporting the success of every student.
We were especially proud to open the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance and School Pledge led by Moon Cub student Caspian Sims, who was recommended by his teacher for his kindness toward peers and dedication to academics.
Throughout the meeting, trustees received student activity updates from Student Board Member Duarte, a sports update from WHS Athletic Director Jolene Thompson, a maintenance and facilities update from Director of M&O Gene Blocker, and a report on the Alternative Education Program from Principal Bibbins.
We appreciate the collective efforts of our students, staff, families, board members, and community partners who work together to support student success across our district.

Today, we proudly celebrate our incredible Special Education team! 🎉 From our dedicated teachers to our amazing support staff, we are so grateful for the passion, patience, and care you show every day. Your work ensures that every student in our district has the opportunity to thrive, learn, and succeed.
This year’s celebration is especially meaningful as it marks the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Only fifty years ago, many children with disabilities were excluded from public education or placed in institutions. IDEA represents our nation’s commitment that every child, regardless of disability, has the right to a free and appropriate public education. Its anniversary reminds us of how far we have come and the importance of continuing this critical work.
Thank you for being the champions of inclusion, empowerment, and compassion! Your dedication makes a lasting difference in the lives of our students and families.
