It is with tremendous excitement and enthusiasm that I welcome you all to the 2025-2026 school year. This school year marks my ninth year as an administrator in Rialto and my 20th year overall as an educator.

I am committed to supporting Kucera as we strive to be a middle school of exceptional distinction.

2025-2026 MIDDLE SCHOOL SPORTS PROGRAM

SOS Presentation


	SOS Presentation Parents, Our school is participating in SOS Signs of Suicide, which teaches warning signs for suicide and how to ACT (Acknowledge, Care, Tell) to get help if you are worried about yourself or a friend. In class, we will watch SOS video clips and discuss them together. We will also distribute a questionnaire to help you learn more about symptoms of depression and suicide and when to seek help. After the lesson, all students will complete an exit slip asking if they would like to speak to an adult. After class, we will check in with any student who wants to talk. We will also be contacting some students for feedback about the program. We hope that our class discussion will give students an opportunity to share their questions, concerns, and ideas. But if anyone finds the discussion difficult, they will not be required to participate. Students will be able to take a break if needed, and counselors will be available to help anyone who is having a tough time. I am sending a letter about the program and some information about suicide prevention to your parents/caregivers. I hope you get the chance to talk with them about the program. If you have any questions or concerns about participating in the program, you can email me or talk with any of the school counselors, Mrs. Veit (7th), Ms. Toor (8th), Mrs. Delgado-Brown (6th). If you would like to have your student opt-out of the presentation, please utilize the link below: Here is the link for parents to opt out HERE Jennifer Cuevas Principal Kucera Middle School There is 1 attachment with this post.

School Fundr Fundraiser STARTS Now!

School Fundr Fundraiser STARTS TODAY!

Dear Coyote Families!
Thank you so much for your support in helping us launch our school fundraiser! We are raising money for student activities, field trips, incentives, and more, and every contribution truly makes a difference for our students.

If you haven’t already, please help us and take a moment to set up your student’s account with School Fundr and start sending donation requests to family and friends. This step is very important to help us reach our fundraising goals! Please use the QR code and the flyer attached to help with this process.

We also want to reassure you that this is not a scam. Unlike many other fundraising companies that keep a large percentage of the profit, with School Fundr we keep 100% of the funds raised, and they go directly toward supporting your child’s experiences at school.
The more participation we have, the more opportunities we can provide for our students—thank you in advance for helping us make this fundraiser a success!
