Mission

The mission of the Center Joint Unified School District Family Resource Center is to help eliminate barriers to school success and help ensure a positive outcome for every CJUSD student by serving and supporting students, families, and schools through services, resources, and referrals that are integrated, comprehensive, and responsive to the identified needs.

Vision

By working in partnership with state and community agencies and the school community, the Family Resource Center will be a viable and sustainable resource of support and services meeting the needs of students, families, and schools, by connecting students and families to relevant services, resources, support, and referrals.

The Family Resource Center will collaborate with the school community to facilitate and coordinate appropriate supports and services for all students; share best practices, provide technical assistance and trainings involving the education of Foster Children and Youth and Students in Transition; and provide program support, services, and educational opportunities that focus on aspects of positive youth development, school safety, and school climate.

Programs and Services Provided

Students and Families in Transition Services: Through the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (click here for McKinney-Vento Rights - Information for Families), the Family Resource Center provides support and resources to assist students and families in navigating the educational system so they continue to receive a quality education during this transitional time. Support and resources may vary from family to family. The Family Resource Center also provides educators with technical support to ensure schools are removing barriers to the enrollment, attendance, and academic success of students experiencing homelessness. Mentoring is available for students experiencing homelessness and/or unaccompanied minor students (grades 7-12). The Family Resource Center may be able to provide assistance with:

School Placement and Enrollment
Backpacks & School Supplies
School Clothing
Transportation Assistance
General Community Referrals and Resources
Healthcare Advocacy & Application Assistance
Mental Health Counseling Referrals
Academic Enrichment & Mentoring
Dispute Resolution Process

*School supplies, backpacks, and school clothing are available to families who are experiencing homelessness, or who qualify for free or reduced lunch and have been referred to the Family Resource Center by a CJUSD staff member. Transportation assistance may vary.*

Foster Youth Services: Every student in our district is ensured access to the same opportunities for academic achievement and supports, including children and youth in foster care. Foster students have educational rights established through Assembly Bills 167, 216, and 490 to help eliminate barriers to education and ensure school stability. The Family Resource Center works with school sites and community agencies such as group homes, foster families, social services, and post-high school programs to coordinate support efforts and promote educational rights, stability, and success for students in foster care. Mentoring is available for foster students (grades 7-12). Also, educators are provided with technical support to ensure they are aware of these rights as well as parent/guardians and foster students themselves. The Family Resource Center may be able to provide assistance with:

School Placement, Enrollment and Transfer
Case Management
Academic Enrichment & Mentoring
Dispute Resolution Process

Community and Mental Health & Wellness Resources: The Family Resource Center recognizes the importance of addressing the physical, emotional, and mental health needs of students and families. The Family Resource Center may be able to provide mental health counseling referrals and services to qualified families and students within the Center Joint Unified School District. This is a collaborative effort between schools and local agencies. Sacramento County Mental Health Resources and Parent Toolkit are helpful resources for parents.

Program Support: The Family Resource Center provides an array of program supports and technical assistance to school sites and staff through professional development opportunities, social-emotional learning and mental health programs, and initiatives, such as the Sacramento County Bullying Prevention Project, that help improve school safety and school climate.
