San Carlos School District Home

We are proud to shine a spotlight on our partner, the San Carlos Education Foundation (SCEF), who rose to the challenge of fundraising in our community during the pandemic to ensure the children and staff of our schools had needs met in real-time. SCEF as an organization adapted to new fundraising techniques and our amazing community responded. Click on the title link to read more.

Superintendent Jennifer Frentress stopped by the Brittan Acres school garden🪴to see what Mr. Liner’s class has been up to. Part of the school’s STEAM program, Better Understanding of Garden Science (BUGS) helps students further their understanding of the interdependence between all of the earth’s living things as they grow into 2nd & 3rd grade BUGS students. They design and conduct experiments to test the effects of water, light, compost and fertilizer on crop production and study local flora and fauna, life cycles, and more! 💚 #scsdproud

The past two weeks, we have sent many communications with health and safety guidance, which we will continue. Today, however, I am writing with a different message. Since we returned from winter break, our common foe, Omicron, has tried to bring us down. As a community: families, staff, students, and partners – we have been following health and safety guidance to protect all of us from the virus. Click on the title link to read the full update.

Happy New Year! I know it’s going to be a great one, but Omicron – oh my goodness! What a way to start 2022! I am going to use this week’s letter to focus on some of the recent events impacting schools during this current surge of COVID-19 in our county.
