Tracy Unified School District

Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park sits in Midtown Sacramento in an area that has been the homeland of the Nisenan people since time immemorial. From 1839 to 1849, Sutter’s Fort was the economic center of the first permanent European colonial settlement in California’s Central Valley. Its founder was a Swiss immigrant named John Sutter who named his vast Mexican land grant “New Helvetia.” During that time, the Fort catalyzed patterns of change across California. No one felt those changes more acutely than the diverse Native peoples whose lives were transformed by the Fort’s presence. Many different Native people helped build the Fort, and their exploited labor made the Fort’s many industries possible. The discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in 1848 started the gold rush that ultimately undermined Sutter’s businesses at the Fort and led to an even greater exploitation of Native people across California.

We want all DJUSD students to be successful and will continue to use assessment data to identify those in need of intervention and provide the services they require.  We will focus on fostering caring relationships amongst staff, students and their families, and better aligning curricula and assessment will help us to do this.  Despite economic uncertainty, positive attitudes, beliefs, and a relentless passion to help students be successful will carry the day for the school district and the community. 

To be successful in a global society after high school, all children need extensive knowledge and skills in core areas of literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, foreign language and career technology.  Students must also be exposed to a myriad of opportunities that explore the arts, health and wellness, athletics, extra-curricular activities, and community service projects.  These are the components of an excellent education and develop life-long thinkers and productive citizens for our future.

The H.O.P.E. Center is designed as a fully integrated preschool, which also provides before and after school care. Our highly trained and committed teachers and assistants are dedicated to enhancing the social experience for all children, offering various activities such as board games, arts & crafts, outside play and a time for ‘homework help.’ Children are encouraged to interact with one another to promote social awareness and greater independence.

If you are interested in these services, and would like additional information, please visit our H.O.P.E. Center website and contact our offices.
