Welcome to the 26-27 School Year!
Hearing from our educational partners – including staff, students, families, and community – is an important part of #TheCeresWay. Our first Certificated Educational Partners meeting of the year was a time to exchange information and perspectives, keeping students’ interests at the heart of every conversation. Success starts with listening! 💙 #TeamCUSD #EveryVoiceCounts
All schools and offices in the Ceres Unified School District will be closed in observance of the Labor Day holiday on Monday, Sept. 7, 2026. We will reopen on Tuesday, Sept. 8.
We wish our CUSD community a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!
