In celebration of the Labor Day holiday, all schools and offices in the Ceres Unified School District are closed on Monday, Sept. 2, 2024. We look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Tuesday.
A note from Superintendent Dr. Amy Peterman to CUSD Staff:
As we approach Labor Day, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for each of you. Your hard work, dedication, and passion make a significant difference in the lives of our students and the entire community of Ceres.
Labor Day is a time to celebrate the contributions of workers across all fields, and in our district, we have so much to be proud of. Each of you plays a crucial role in ensuring our students receive the best education possible. From whichever position you hold, your efforts are invaluable.
I hope you can take this long weekend to relax, recharge, and spend time with your loved ones. You deserve it!
