Superintendent's Message
The Fontana Unified School District is the twelfth largest school district in California. With over 38,000 K-12 students, 2,000 preschoolers, and over 1,100 adult school students, we constitute the largest educational enterprise in the area. More importantly, Fontana schools have a five-year track record of continuous improvement in student achievement. The citizens of Fontana support this district with their time, their talents, and with a $275 million general obligation bond to build the new schools needed to support the continuous growth in size. It is both my privilege and my pleasure to serve this district.
Response to LCP Questions
Stakeholder feedback was taken from the District Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) virtual Teams meeting on September 2, 2020 and from the District’s English Language Advisory Council (DELAC) virtual Teams meeting held on September 3, 2020. Responses were provided directly during the LCP presentation by the Teaching and Learning Department and Family and Community Engagement. No additional questions were submitted to the superintendent's office regarding LCP.

What is the date to return to in-person class or stage 3?
Posted by:Since we are on the county’s watchlist (now called Purple or Widespread Tier) we will have to wait for guidance on when the percentage of COVID-19 cases is consistently on the decline for 14 or more days (and San Bernardino County is able to move to the Red or Substancial Tier).

Are the schools still going to honor good grades?
Posted by:Students will receive grades this year unlike the end of the spring when COVID hit.

How is the District keeping track of children who are not logging on or not staying on as needed?
Posted by:Teachers keep track of student participation in Teams, our student information system Aequitas, and that the Student Services Division has outlined steps for sites to take when students are excessively absent or don’t log in.
