Eureka School District praises staff and announces new assistant principal candidates

The Eureka Union School District (EUSD) is gearing up for a significant shift in communication strategies aimed at enhancing family engagement. During the May 5, 2025, Regular Board Meeting, officials discussed plans to create targeted email communications specifically for Oak Hills families. This initiative aims to bridge the gap caused by disparate systems that have made it challenging to connect effectively with families.

The board emphasized the importance of tailored messaging to foster stronger relationships within the community. "Our systems are very disparate, so it is really difficult to do just that kind of targeted specific messaging," one board member noted, highlighting the need for improved communication tools.

In addition to communication improvements, the meeting celebrated the success of recent community events, including a golf tournament that sold out early and exceeded sponsorship goals. Board members expressed excitement about the community's growing support and engagement, indicating a positive shift in local involvement.

The meeting also touched on upcoming events, including teacher and staff appreciation activities and a facilities walk scheduled for later in the month. This walk will allow community members to assess the needs of Oak Hills and Ridgeview schools, contributing to the district's long-term facilities master plan.

As the EUSD continues to prioritize effective communication and community involvement, these initiatives are expected to enhance the educational experience for students and families alike. The board's commitment to recognizing staff contributions and engaging with the community reflects a proactive approach to fostering a supportive educational environment.
