Did you know that the San Carlos School District Preschool is open and safely running? Children are painting, building, creating, learning and playing with their friends. The program has been open since May 11 - Monday-Friday from 7:30am until 5:00pm. We have open spots available at each of the four elementary sites. ____ Additionally, the San Carlos Preschool is accepting pre-registration forms for the 2021-2022 preschool year from October 1 - February 26, 2021.

The San Carlos School District is offering K-8 students the opportunity to enroll in the Connections Distance Learning Program for the 2020-2021 school year due to COVID-19.

Need help supporting your child with distance learning during the day? Have them join their friends in the SMARTE Clubhouse! The SMARTE program provides on-site, all-day care while schools are on a distance learning schedule. Three different options are available for families: Full-time 5-days a week or Part-time 3-days (Mon/Wed/Fri) or 2-days (Tue/Thu). Programs run from 8:15 am-4:30 pm each day. SMARTE will transition to a Hybrid program once schools resume in-person learning. Click on the link above to visit our SMARTE Clubhouse website for more information.

The San Carlos Elementary School District is partnering with Inclusion Counts to assess our current state of diversity, equity and racial-justice. In order to ensure our priorities, goals and actions related to anti-racism in our community are reflective of our diverse community voices, we’re taking time to hear from members of our community - staff, students and families. On Tuesday, November 17 we invite parents to participate in a Community Listening Session/ Group Interview with our consultants at Inclusion Counts. During this session, you will be asked to share about your experience at San Carlos Elementary School District - and, if applicable, how you/ your family has been affected by racism, bias or intolerance. Our friends at Inclusion Counts have specifically asked to host these sessions within affinity groups. Please RSVP by Friday, November 13.

The Agenda for the November 19th meeting has been posted to BoardDocs. Please see the Board Agenda for details on how to participate in the meeting.
