In June of 2015, Student Services collected the lost and found items from all school sites.  The items were laundered by donated services from a local vendor.  Student Services partnered with the Transition Opportunity Program Services (TOPS) class at Colton High School (CHS) and established the TOPS Closet.  The TOPS program is CJUSD’s adult transition program for students with moderate to severe disabilities.  Part of the curriculum is to learn life skills which includes learning to launder clothing. Student Services purchased laundry supplies, clothing racks, and hangers.  The students hung and presented the clothing in a store-like atmosphere in Room 558 at CHS, called the TOPS Closet, named after the program. 

As the need grew, a second closet was opened at Ruth Harris Middle School called the Community Closet West (CCW).  Clothing is donated on an ongoing basis by employees and the community.  The closets are opened once a month and families receive a Q Communicate message the evening prior to the opening. 

Please see below for the Clothing Closet days at TOPS Closet and Community Closet West (CCW).

To date, the closets have served over 500 families and more than 1,500 students.  It is our goal, that the closets continue to be a valuable resource for our families.  Please contact Karla Viramontes at 909-580-6515 or email karla_viramontes@cjusd.net if you have any questions.
