SANTA MARIA, Calif. The Santa Maria Joint Union High School District (SMJUHSD) has reopened its campuses for students, starting limited in-class instruction for seniors Tuesday morning.
For hundreds of students, it marked the first time many of them had walked on campus in more than a year. I m overwhelmed with happiness, said Pioneer Valley High School senior Sara Camacho. I m shocked that we even got this opportunity to open back again and I m just really excited that I get to see everyone again. It s exciting, said Pioneer Valley senior Liam Haas. It s nice to meet all of my friends and to just be here and to be actually learning things and not looking at a screen.

“I think tutor.com is very beneficial,’’ said Carlissa Solorio, a senior at Santa Maria High School. “We don t have to show our faces, and help is there 24/7 whenever we need it. I feel excited about using Tutor.com.’’
Practice quizzes in many subjects and tutoring on the SAT and ACT also are part of the program, said Paul Robinson, interim IT director and director of career technical education.
“This effort will help our students succeed during challenging and changing times,’’ Robinson said. “It really levels the playing field in terms of bringing help into our students homes at any and all hours.’’
