Marysville Joint Unified School District

My name is Tony Perez and I am the Director of Wellness for MJUSD. I started this new position with over 15 years of experience as a teacher and school administrator, primarily in Sacramento, most recently as the principal of a school for students with severe emotional and therapeutic needs due to traumatic events and backgrounds.  Before that I oversaw student services at a large urban high school, working with students, families, and service providers to help students access their potential while learning to manage daily challenges.
 
The experience I’ve gained allows me to step into this important role and serve as a bridge to connect our students with the resources and services that they need. This opportunity comes from grant funding and aligns with MJUSD’s Strategic Plan, Goal 4 (District Culture – Develop a plan in which MJUSD cultivates a culture where staff and community can share and celebrate its successes and best practices.)

 

As the Director of Wellness I will be responsible for designing and building a Wellness Program, which is one of the top priorities for our district. To do this, my team and I will work with school administrators to build out Wellness Hubs at each school to help support students who are impacted by social and emotional trauma as well as provide services to address classroom behaviors and improve academic outcomes....Read more
