Thanks to the generous donation from community member, Pat Lerman and the Aromas San Juan Community Schools Foundation, every eligible Anzar High School  senior will receive a coupon voucher to apply to one California State University campus this year. 

Application workshops will take place in Advisory on Tuesday and Wednesday, and at 6pm in the Library on Thursday, October 16th

Pictured below is a newly renovated science classroom at Anzar High School. We will continue identifying classrooms in need of renovation and complete at least 3 or 4 next summer.

We are focused on renovating spaces that are in permanent structures as opposed to portables which may be replaced in the future.

In the past year, we have successfully brought art lessons and experiences to every K-8 classroom except for four classrooms. This year the work continues as our ART TOSA continues to build connections between our curriculum and art experiences, assisting teachers with the skills for continuing this work on their own or with her assistance. 

Now it is time to start a plan for bringing music back to the district.  We have consolidated and stored a large number of musical instruments owned by the district and used in the past by school groups. These instruments were inventoried two years ago. While we are not able currently to hire a full time music teacher, we want to explore ways we can bring music first into our after school enrichment offerings.  We need to know who the musicians and music teachers are in the community! We want to find out which of our students are interested in music and may already be taking music lessons. Please look out for a survey we will send out in the next few weeks and if you are interested in possibly helping us jumpstart our music experiences, please let us know. You can also help us by letting others in the community know of our interest in seeking their help.  I was a student musician from grade 4 through my first year of college and know the value of music education. I also started my son in music as a 3 year old and he continued as a Suzuki cellist through tenth grade.  I saw the value it brought to him and I am sure it supported his understanding of mathematics. Please know we are committed to developing a plan to make this happen, starting with our after school programming.

There are many ways for you to be involved in your child’s school. We have board meetings every month. They tend to be on the second Wednesday of the month. We have school and district meetings for parents of our English learners; those are our ELAC and DELAC meetings.

Each school has a home and school club or booster club. I am frequently joining a principal for a coffee for parents at each school site. Our Special Education department runs a CAC (community advisory council) for special education parents.  Please get involved!  More ideas and feedback from our parents help us as we work together to make our schools better!

Once a year, a small committee representing different groups in the community convenes to conduct a review of how our bond monies have been spent, making sure we are in alignment with the intent of the Bond that voters passed.  This committee will meet at the District Office at 6pm on October 22, 2025.
