CJUSD families celebrated the conclusion of our three-part AI Family Workshop Series with an exciting, hands-on AI Expo! Parents and students self-selected from interactive learning experiences designed to build AI literacy, including Understanding AI, AI and Well-Being, Google’s Teachable Machine, NotebookLM Flashcards, AI with iPads, and more.

One of the biggest highlights was “Flip the Script with AI,” led by Colton High School’s Graphic Communications CTE students. Families used artificial intelligence to transform negative self-concepts into powerful, positive affirmations—an engaging experience that demonstrated how technology can support creativity, confidence, and well-being.

Our CJUSD Chats podcast captures parents’ reflections about what they learned, how their understanding of AI grew, and how they plan to use these tools moving forward. We are proud of our CJUSD AI All-Stars for embracing curiosity, learning together, and preparing for an AI-powered future! 💡💻✨

Listen to the podcast and hear directly from our families about their AI learning journey!

In this inspiring episode of CJUSD Chats, we lift up the powerful voices of Umoja students from Centennial High School as they share their real schooling experiences and words of encouragement for our incoming 9th-grade students, new to the NEW Dual Enrollment Pathway, Umoja. 🖤💛❤️💚

Students speak openly about the impact of the Umoja program, the importance of community, culturally relevant curriculum, academic excellence, and personal growth. 📚🌟 They also share helpful tips about study habits, engaging classroom practices, and what it takes to stay successful in high school.

A special spotlight goes to Counselor Amber Thompson, whose students describe her as being “like a mom” because of the love, support, accountability, and high expectations she brings to the program every day. ✨

Umoja is open to ALL students who want to be part of a learning environment that builds belonging, leadership, culture, and achievement. 🌍🎓

Tune in to hear authentic student voice, uplifting stories, and the transformational power of Umoja! 🎧🔥
