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.
