Friday Update, July 4, 2025

Good evening, Sulphur Springs Union School District Families and Staff. This is Dr. Catherine Kawaguchi, your Superintendent with a Friday Update, July 4, 2025.

Every school year, the Sulphur Springs Union School District is required to provide all families with a copy of the Annual Notification. This notification informs parents, guardians, and students of their rights and responsibilities under the California Education Code (Section 48982), as well as District Board Policies (BP) and Administrative Regulations (AR).

I have attached a copy of the Annual Notification for the 2025-2026 school year for your reference. If you would prefer a paper copy, please contact your child’s school office after August 4th, or call the District Office at 661-252-5131 between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM, and we will be happy to assist you.
