San Carlos School District Home

Each month, our Spotlight on Excellence highlights a unique aspect of what makes San Carlos schools exceptional.

This month we highlight Arundel Elementary School and all the ways that Arundel Knights are learning to be kind citizens and examples of how they are helping their school and community.

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!

ROPES is the Rite Of Passage ExperienceS program that is specifically designed as an optional enrichment activity as students complete a cycle of their education (early mastery, intermediate mastery, advanced mastery).

Students in grades 4, 6, and 8 will have the opportunity to complete ROPES projects. Join us at our ROPES Information Night on Zoom Monday, October 27, at 7:00pm for students and parents. Click on the title link to learn more.

Looking for after-school enrichment for your child? Our Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) offers funding to attend one of our three before or after school programs! Come join us for fun, engaging activities that support learning and growth — check to see if you qualify today!

We celebrated a major milestone with a ribbon cutting at Tierra Linda Middle School, marking the completion of projects that brought energy-efficient electric heat pumps, advanced air quality monitoring, and smart thermostats to Tierra Linda, Mariposa Upper Elementary and Arundel Elementary.

We are deeply grateful for Measure N, the local parcel tax that voters generously approved to protect programs and retain excellent teachers. However, rising costs have made it challenging for Measure N to cover all the needs of our schools.

To continue providing the strong education our students deserve, SCSD is considering asking the community to extend Measure N with a modest increase — and your input matters.

Share your thoughts by November 21, 2025! Together, we can keep San Carlos schools strong. 💙

We’re off to an incredible start! Just four weeks in, SCSD educators and students are already hard at work—and we couldn’t do it without YOU!
