Community Resources

Connecting Families

At Romoland School District, our commitment to supporting families goes beyond the classroom. We are dedicated to providing a holistic educational experience, ensuring the well-being and success of our students both in school and at home. We do so by connecting our families to the resources and services they need to thrive.

We understand that a thriving community is built on collaboration. That's why we have established partnerships with local organizations to offer food and clothing assistance aimed at enhancing the lives of our students and their families. For more information about these programs, please contact the School Engagement/Foster Youth Liaison at 951-926-9244 or mchavez@romoland.net
