District Community Liaisons
The English Learner Services & Special Projects and Equity Departments have District and Community Liaisons (DCLs) serving the Foothill, Grant, Highlands, and Rio Linda Vertical Articulation Networks. They play a vital role in strengthening family–school partnerships that directly enhance student success.
DCL Focus Areas
- Promote academic engagement to support student learning.
- Connect families with resources that foster student and family well-being.
- Create welcoming school environments where all families feel valued.
- Strengthen home–school communication to build trust and collaboration.
- Assist schools in developing and maintaining effective School Site Councils (SSCs) and English Learner Advisory Committees (ELACs).

No Student Left Hungry Program
(Click on the image to download the PDF.)
The No Student Left Hungry Program supports food security for Twin Rivers students and families in working-class communities. Through a partnership with the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services (SFBFS), the program provides shelf-stable, grab-and-go food boxes to help families when school meals are unavailable—such as on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Learn more or request support through your District Community Liaison (DCL).
The program is free and equitably available to all families in need.
