SBCUSD Opens New Páxam Páxam Welcome Center

The San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) recently celebrated the official grand opening of the Páxam Páxam Welcome Center, a new resource hub designed to help families navigate school enrollment and connect with support services that encourage student success. The center is located on E Street, next to the District’s Board of Education building. The 60,000 square foot facility brings a total of 300 employees to this downtown location.

“Our goal is simple. When families feel welcome, students thrive,” said SBCUSD Superintendent Mauricio Arellano. “The Páxam Páxam Welcome Center brings all of our enrollment and family support services together under one roof, so every family can receive guidance, respect and care from the moment they walk in. This is about meeting people where they are and making sure they feel seen and supported.”

The center offers personalized guidance with enrollment, transfers and school placement, along with workshops, connections to mental health services and access to community resources. SBCUSD Family Engagement staff and Spanish-speaking employees are available to help families in their preferred language.

The grand opening event included student performances by the San Gorgonio High School marching band, Cajon High School choir and preschool students, a land acknowledgment and a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by elected officials, community partners, parents, District leaders and members of the SBCUSD Board of Education.
