As we head into Winter Break, we know this season can look different for every family. That’s why we put together a simple guide with free food support, warm spaces, family activities, and resources for anyone who may need a little extra support during the break. Even though our classrooms will pause, the care we have for our families never does. We hope this guide brings a bit of comfort and ease during the weeks ahead.

At EUSD, we believe every child deserves a strong, joyful start to school. That’s why, for the past three years, we’ve been working side by side with California Education Partners and districts across the state to make early learning, especially early math, more connected, more engaging, and more empowering for our youngest students.
Check out the video in our News Feed to see the heart behind this work. But what makes us proud is how it’s coming to life right here at home: in our classrooms, in our TK and 3rd grade communities, and in the bright confidence we see growing in our students every day.
And we know this is just the beginning. With you, our EUSD families, by our side, we’re building the foundations that will carry our students forward for years to come.

We know that many families may be facing changes or delays in their food benefits right now. If this is affecting your household, please know you are not alone. There are free food resources available all year in our community. Every family is welcome, and you do not need to meet any requirements or share personal information to receive help. These programs exist to make sure everyone has access to healthy food and support. There is no registration or paperwork required, simply show up, and you will be welcomed with care. To learn more about these programs, visit our news feed below, check ParentSquare, or follow us on our district Instagram.
Sometimes mornings are tough, we get it. But every day your child spends at school is a day to learn something new, laugh with friends, and feel proud of themselves. Even just a few missed days a month can make it harder to keep up, but showing up, even on the hard days, makes a big difference. Let’s help our kids build confidence and routines that last a lifetime.
Celebrating National School Lunch Week! This week, our Superintendent C.W. Smith, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Andreya Viscovich, and district staff rolled up their sleeves to join our amazing Food Services team in serving lunch at our schools. It was a wonderful reminder of how much heart goes into every meal. The laughter in the cafeteria and the smiles from students truly show the care and dedication of our Food Services team. We are so grateful for everything they do to make school days brighter, one lunch at a time. Check out more photos from the week on our Instagram @empireunionsd
