Join Our Family Resource Center and Help Shape Our School Community!
Dear Los Banos Unified Students, Parents, Families, and Community Members:
We're excited to invite you to be part of something special at Los Banos Unified School District! We are creating a new Family Resource Center through the California Community Schools Partnership Grant that will support students, families, and our entire community in powerful ways. Our goal is simple: to create schools that are more than just places of learning. We want our schools to be welcoming spaces that:
Support students' academic and personal growth
Connect families with helpful resources
Bring community members together
Provide opportunities for learning and connection
We're forming an Advisory Council to help guide this work, and we want YOUR voice and perspective. By joining, you'll have the chance to:
Share ideas about what our community needs
Help design programs that support students and families
Connect with other community members who care about education
Make a real difference in Los Banos
No special background is required - just a passion for supporting our young people and community. We'll meet monthly to discuss progress and plan next steps. Our new Family Resource Center will be a central hub where families can:
Access community services
Get support for their children's education
Find resources for health, learning, and personal growth
