• SBCUSD Connect - November 2024

    San Bernardino City Unified School District Superintendent’s Thanksgiving Message As we gather with loved ones to celebrate the season of gratitude, San Bernardino City Unified School District Superintendent Mauricio Arellano extends heartfelt thanks to our students, families and staff for their unwavering dedication and support.    In the Spotlight SBCUSD Celebrates Three Milestone Ribbon-Cutting Events in November November was a month of celebration and progress for the San Bernardino City Unified School District as we held three ribbon-cutting ceremonies, marking the completion of cutting-edge  projects that enrich our students’ education and strengthen our community.  These events, with additional ribbon-cutting ceremonies planned for December and January,  demonstrate SBCUSD’s commitment to providing students with exceptional learning environments and opportunities for growth. The festivities began at Cajon High School on November 6, where a new, state-of-the-art dental pathway classroom officially opened. This hands-on learning program prepares students for careers in dental health, equipping them with real-world skills to thrive in a growing industry. The event highlighted the District’s focus on career technical education and partnerships that help students transition smoothly into the workforce or higher education. At Cypress Elementary School, students and staff celebrated the transformation of a former classroom into a new school library, thanks to a generous book donation from Access Books. The refreshed space, now stocked with hundreds of new books, promises to inspire a lifelong love of reading and support literacy development. Following a small ribbon-cutting on November 20, students eagerly explored the updated collection, diving into new adventures and stories right in their own school. Rounding out the month, San Gorgonio High School unveiled its new Aquatics Center and Culinary Arts Center on November 22, providing students with enhanced facilities to excel in academics, athletics and technical education. These facilities not only support student success but also reflect the District’s investment in creating holistic learning environments that promote health, wellness and creativity. Superintendent Mauricio Arellano praised the dedication and vision that made these projects possible. “Each of these ribbon cuttings represents more than just new facilities—they are a testament to our District’s commitment to investing in the future of our students and our community. Together, we are building a brighter tomorrow.” These milestones embody SBCUSD’s mission to ensure every student has the tools, resources and spaces they need to SHINE. The District looks forward to more opportunities to celebrate progress and innovation in 2025. Future in Focus School Resumes on Monday We hope you had a restful and joyful Thanksgiving holiday filled with time for loved ones and gratitude. As we transition back to learning, please remember that school resumes on Monday, December 2. We’re excited to see our students return refreshed and ready to finish the semester strong!

This annual event fosters stronger connections between schools and the community while showcasing the dedication and expertise of SBCUSD’s administrators. Participants were paired with principals across District campuses, where they had the opportunity to experience the daily operations of a school firsthand. From greeting students and visiting classrooms to joining administrative meetings, the guest principals gained valuable insight into the challenges and triumphs of leading a school. The event culminated in a networking luncheon, where guest principals shared their experiences and celebrated the collaborative spirit that defines SBCUSD. Many participants expressed newfound admiration for the District’s educators and a desire to stay involved in supporting local schools.
