The Milpitas High School Marching Band & Color Guard Team placed fifth in the 4A Class Championships at Sacramento State University on November 19, 2023.

The School Linked Services Initiative (SLS) provides students, children, and families with school-based coordinated supportive services to address needs and wellbeing gaps of families through a community participatory approach. The program is coordinated by the Santa Clara County Behavioral Health Services Department, in collaboration with a host of school districts, mental health and social service delivery providers, and community-based organizations (CBOs) located throughout the county.

Specifically, SLS Coordinators, located at the school district or a school site, develop partnerships within schools, public agencies, and CBOs in Santa Clara County to improve protective factors (e.g., family relationship), decrease risk factors (e.g., behavioral and emotional problems), enhance service accessibility and resource linkage and to support children’s success in school and in life. Click to view Presentation slides

Milpitas Unified School District received funds to engage with our school communities through the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP) planning grant. Joseph Weller Elementary has taken on this initiative to engage, collect and collaborate with their extended community around their school’s assets, needs and barriers. Through a series of engagement strategies with the community and the guidance of their Weller Community Schools Steering Committee, MUSD will work towards submitting the CCSPP Implementation Grant to reflect their identified resources and programming.
