Over the past two days, San Juan Unified has received reports of social media posts containing threatening statements and each naming or tagging a different list of schools across the region. Our safety team is closely monitoring the situation in coordination with law enforcement. We want to reassure families that we have no evidence of an actionable threat to any of our school communities at this time.

"Where Everyone Belongs" (WEB) is a middle school orientation and transition program. It's designed to help incoming 6th graders feel more comfortable and to help them achieve success in their first year of middle school. The program trains mentors from 8th grade to guide and support the newcomers. These mentors are trained to facilitate team building, to help with academic success, and to help with the overall transition to middle school.
