San Carlos School District Home

Each month, our Spotlight on Excellence highlights a unique aspect of what makes San Carlos schools exceptional. On May 14, we proudly recognized and celebrated our 2025–26 retirees for their years of dedicated service to the students, families, and staff of the San Carlos School District. Their impact on our schools and community will be felt for years to come.

Each month, our Spotlight on Excellence highlights a unique aspect of what makes San Carlos schools exceptional. On May 7, Principal Rosina Tong presented an update to Trustees on Community, Connection and Conservation at White Oaks Elementary school. She was joined by several students who sang a song, shared experiences and insights on what they learned in each of these areas, and what it means to be a White Oaks Owl.

Join us as we delve into the incredible world of teaching and learning, exploring the exceptional programs and services that make our San Carlos schools truly stand out!

Summer 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting and productive season across the District.

Our Community Liaison Site is designed to be a central place where families can find information, resources, and support to help their children thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally. On this site, you will find information about how we communicate with families, including parent communication protocols, upcoming events, and important dates. You’ll also find resources that support students’ social and emotional well-being, along with enrichment opportunities and programs offered through the District and our valued community partners.

Established to support current San Carlos School District staff in pursuing further education, certifications, and professional growth opportunities, the scholarship reflects a shared commitment to lifelong learning and leadership within SCSD.
