Parent Involvement Opportunities

HJUHSD provides multiple opportunities for parents to get involved in their student's education. One way you can get involved is by joining the district's Community Advisory Committee (CAC). This is a district wide committee in which staff, students, parents and community members can join to discuss the LCAP and provide feedback. You can find agendas, minutes and other resources regarding the Community Advisory Committee here. If you are interested in joining the Community Advisory Committee reach out to the HJUHSD Educational Services office at lsurratt@hjuhsd.org or at 559-583-5901 ext. 3118.

Each school site provides opportunities for parents to get involved such as joining School Site Council, the English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) and more! You can find each site's parent involvement opportunities linked below.
