School District to Hold Student Services Fair

Palo Alto Unified School District will be hosting its second annual Student Services Fair on Thursday, September 25 from 6:00 – 8:00pm at Jordan Middle School located at 750 North California Avenue.

The intent of the Student Services Fair is to orient parents to the many resources and supports available to K-12 students to help them experience success at school.

Parents will learn information on how to access a variety of services related to: resiliency, academic supports, parent resources, health education, mental health and recreational services, and volunteer opportunities.

PAUSD’s Student Nutrition Services will sponsor a demonstration dinner event and childcare (five and over) will be provided for free to all participants.

Spanish and Mandarin translation services will be available.

“This event brings together over forty community agencies and programs that support PAUSD students and families. We are thrilled to partner again this year with the PAUSD Health Council and the PAUSD PTA Council to bring this broad array of information and services to our community. We had over 250 parents and students attend last year and we are expecting even more this year,” shared Brenda Carrillo, PAUSD’s Student Services Coordinator.

PAUSD promotes school settings in which students, staff, parents and the community work collaboratively to ensure that each student is emotionally and physically healthy, safe, engaged, supported and challenged. This community fair provides resources to help each child and family reach their potential.
