​​​​Emotional & Community Wellness

Jurupa Unified School DIstrict is committed to strengthening individuals, families, and communities by empowering parents as advocates for their child's education, promoting school readiness, and fostering social, emotional, and community wellness. Through collaborative partnerships, resources, and engagement initiatives, we support academic success and resilience while creating a network of services and opportunities that prioritize well-being. By enhancing family-school connections and providing access to vital community services, we ensure that students and families have the tools and support needed to thrive academically and personally.​

Behavioral Health

Behavioral health interventions play a crucial role in school functioning as it directly impacts students' ability to learn, engage, and thrive in an academic environment. When students' emotional and behavioral needs are met, they are better equipped to focus, manage stress, build positive relationships, and perform academically. Addressing behavioral health promotes a positive school climate, reduces disruptions, and fosters a supportive environment that enhances both personal and academic growth. Prioritizing behavioral health ensures that students have the foundation they need to succeed, both in school and in life.
