Dear FUSD Families,

As we head into a well-deserved break and holiday, I want to take a moment to express my appreciation and gratitude for your partnership and support. Each day, you play an essential role in the success of our students by ensuring they arrive at school ready to learn, and working with us to create safe, caring, and enriching school environments.

Our schools thrive because of the strong relationships between families, staff, and students. Your involvement, trust, and support make a meaningful difference in your child’s experience and in the culture of our district.

I truly believe that by working together, communicating openly, celebrating our successes, and facing our challenges as a team, FUSD will continue to be a place where students, staff, and families feel valued, respected, and inspired. I believe in us!

As I reflect on my own personal blessings this Thanksgiving, I am deeply grateful for my health, my family, and the privilege of serving the communities of Fillmore and Piru. Thank you for being such an important part of FUSD.

Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving. I look forward to welcoming back students and staff on December 1.

Sincerely,
Christine Schieferle, Superintendent
Fillmore Unified School District
