Science Fair
This year's Science Fair was the most highly partcipated in Science Fair I've seen in my years as either a Twin Lakes parent or staff member. Everyone did an excellent job conductring experiments, doing research, and presenting their learning. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the projects and I know that others did as well, as I could hear the oohs and aahs of students and staff members as they toured the displays. Well done everyone!
For the first time this year, we had judges award certificates for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place at each grade level. Check out this year's winners below!
2025-2026 Open Enrollment
SJUSD's open enrollment period begins on Monday, Dec. 9 at 8 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 24, 2025. During this time, you can submit an application to have your student attend a school other than his or her neighborhood school as long as there is space available and you are willing to provide transportation for your student.
When you log in to Parent Portal you can view your child’s assigned school for the next school year to help you decide whether to participate in open enrollment. As soon as you log in to Parent Portal, you will see both your child’s school for this school year and their assigned school for the next school year (2025-26) listed just below. No further action is needed if you are satisfied with your child’s assigned school for the next school year. If you would like to apply to make a change, you can complete an open enrollment lottery application starting Dec. 9.
Because open enrollment is a computer-generated lottery and not approved on a first-come, first-served basis, you can submit your application at any time during the open enrollment period.
Applications will be available online at www.sanjuan.edu/openenrollment and you may stop at the San Juan Central office, located at 3700 Garfield Ave. in Carmichael, if you need support with completing your application. For more information, call (916) SAN-JUAN or email oel@sanjuan.edu
