Recognizing the People Who Make a Difference Every Day

Employee Appreciation Week Celebrates the Whole CUSD Team, May 19-23, 2025

Behind every student’s success is a team of dedicated professionals and volunteers working together to create safe, welcoming, and enriching schools. The commitment, care, and teamwork that each contributes plays a vital role in helping students learn and thrive.

That's why the Campbell Union School District Governing Board brings it all together with Employee Appreciation Week, May 19-23. 

Throughout the year, we take time to recognize the many individuals who contribute to our schools in meaningful ways—from teachers, counselors and paraprofessionals to office staff, custodians, bus drivers, volunteers, and so many others. Employee Appreciation Week is a districtwide opportunity to show gratitude for ALL of the people who make CUSD a great place to work and a great place to learn. 

As part of the celebration, the District will host its annual recognition event to honor the Teachers of the Year, Classified Staff of the Year, Volunteers of the Year, and Administrators of the Year for their outstanding service during the 2024–25 school year.

These people, together with our families and community partners, make a difference in the lives of our students every day.

Supporting Student Wellness, Inside and Out

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

“In an effort to give our students the support and care they need to be successful in school and life, we are committed to addressing the needs of the whole child,” said Superintendent Shelly Viramontez. “Our teachers incorporate social-emotional learning and regulation into daily instruction, provide calm corners in classrooms, and work with counselors and staff to support our students experiencing a challenge or needing help managing their big feelings.”  

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re highlighting how we prioritize student well-being every day of the year..

“Our partnerships with local organizations help connect our students to vital resources—medical care, counseling, emergency housing, food programs, and more,” said Veronica Gutierrez, Supervisor of School Linked Services. District administrators, nurses, and Community Liaisons collaborate closely with families to access support from our health and wellness partners.

Expanding Wellness Center Access

The Wellness Center at Monroe Middle School—launched in 2021 in partnership with the Santa Clara County Office of Education—has become a successful model for student support. Since then, the District has been building on that success, expanding its support through partnerships with the Seneca Family of Agencies and a grant obtained to fund Wellness Coaches.

This year, Sherman Oaks opened a Wellness Center under the leadership of School Counselor Yesenia Marquez. “I saw how much our students carry—stress, pressure, and sometimes silence,” she said. “I wanted to create a space where they feel safe, accepted, and heard—a space that says, ‘You matter, and your well-being matters.’”

Our model is now expanding to Blackford, with services provided by CUSD Counselor Leah Adams, a Wellness Coach, and San Jose State University interns. “While all classrooms have Calm Kits, some students need extra time or adult support to reset,” Adams said. “We help them regulate emotions and return to class ready to learn.”

Celebrating Our Special Education Athletes

We are proud to celebrate our Special Education student athletes from Blackford, Capri, Forest Hill, and Rolling Hills for competing in the annual Kiwanis Special Games on April 25th! Their energy, determination, and sportsmanship shined as they took on activities designed to celebrate ability, effort, and teamwork.

The students participate in obstacle courses, frisbee throws, bean bag tosses, 100-yard dashes, and more at West Valley Community College. 

The event represents the true meaning of inclusion and community. We are grateful to the staff, volunteers, families, and the Kiwanis organization for making this memorable day possible.

Congratulations to all of our student athletes—you inspire us all!
