“After taking this class, I have a goal of learning more about computers. I want to get a job in the medical field or in high tech,” said Yolanda, a Sherman Oaks parent enrolled in the eight-week Digital Life class offered through the Foothill Engagement Institute (FEI). The class is one of several offered to all CUSD parents throughout the year, thanks to our partnership with School Linked Services.
“I have wanted to go to college ever since I joined my son’s field trip to Foothill College,” said Idiana as she shared the digital vision board she created. Her presentation of aspirations and goals for herself and her family was part of the class’ culminating activities.
Their enthusiasm about continuing their education was echoed by the other 20 parents enrolled in the class. Their presentations included what they learned as they explored their hopes and goals about travel, entering a new profession, starting a business, helping their children with school and creating a better life for their families.
“Because of this class, I have more confidence and I want to learn more!” said another parent.
“It’s great for children to see their parents working toward a goal,” said Assistant Principal Pablo Viramontez. “It’s powerful for them to see you wanting to grow.”
Foothill College Family Engagement Institute creates pathways to college for TWO generations by bridging families, schools and communities to make a critical difference in closing the equity gap. It was founded in 2010 with the goal of giving parents and caregivers the access, tools, and voice to support their children’s education, while also supporting their own educational growth and development.
"When you include families in the process of accessing and engaging with education, you get better outcomes from students,” said FEI Executive Director Betsy Nikolchev
The next eight-week Digital Life class begins at Sherman Oaks on Tuesday, January 28, 2020, from 8:30am-10:30am. Additional courses are offered at Monroe, Blackford, Lynhaven, Rosemary and parents from any CUSD school may enroll.

Dear Sherman Oaks Families:
I am writing to let you know about some changes that will be coming to Sherman Oaks this summer. Principal Raul Lomeli will be leaving Sherman Oaks at the end of this school year. He remains committed to ensuring that students receive rigorous quality education through their last day of classes in June.
I am happy to announce that your new principal for 2018-19 will be Mr. Marco Chavez.
Mr. Chavez brings to our school a wealth of experience and curriculum knowledge gained in an educational career that spans 23 years. He is coming to us from the San Mateo County Office of Education (SMCOE) where he has been the Administrator for Board/Superintendent Support and Community Relations. One of his responsibilities in this role was to provide leadership and direction for county-wide initiatives.
Before that, he was Director of the SMCOE’s Networks for Success (N4S) team, through which he forged productive partnerships with many of that county’s school districts and helped them make impressive progress in improving student achievement. In that role, he also provided professional development and coaching to teachers in data analysis, strategies for supporting English Learners (ELs), culturally responsive education and parent and family engagement. He also coached principals and district office staff on effectively implementing and monitoring initiatives.
His career includes 16 years in Ravenswood School District, where he served as the Director of Categorical Programs and Multilingual Services, principal and classroom teacher. Prior to that, he was a teacher at River Glen Elementary, in San Jose Unified School District, and was a Professor of English at the University of Colima, in Mexico.
He holds a Master’s degree from San Francisco State and a Bachelor’s degree from Notre Dame de Namur University.
We believe Mr. Chavez provides the leadership and stability necessary for Sherman Oaks to be the premier Spanish Dual Immersion school in the county and beyond. We are coordinating a get-acquainted meeting in the near future to introduce Mr. Chavez to the Sherman Oaks community, and we will send the dates and times once the information is finalized.
Sincerely,
Shelly Viramontez, Ed.D.,
Superintendent
