In her role as Community Liaison for Imperial Middle School, Mrs. Hurtado supports families in any way she can. "Señorita Jennifer", as she is affectionately known, is the bridge that connects families with their students’ teachers and administrators. Jennifer gives freely of her time to support the needs of our school community. She fosters positive relationships between school, home and the community by arranging events such as Parent Nights, Target shopping sprees, Walk to School Days, Healthy Cooking classes, Holiday Wishes, and food distribution. In addition, she provides opportunities and resources for our families to learn additional skills to enhance their child’s academic success and to develop their own parenting and leadership skills.
