San Carlos School District Home

Welcome to our new SCSD Distance Learning Portal Here you will find resources and daily lesson plans for your child(ren). Please see your school page to get announcements, guidelines, and procedures. Check in each day via the attendance form located on your school's grade level page. SCSD is obligated by the state of California to continue to track student “attendance.”

Pre-registration for the 2020-2021 school year has begun!

In compliance with the latest Health Order, SCSD will begin opening childcare to groups of 12 or fewer for children of Essential Workers. Our program offers a quiet place for students to complete classwork, access distance learning and participate in recreational/enrichment activities in a safe, 2:12 ratio environment. Our Preschool program is offering a similar, hands-on learning program for 3-5 year olds.

Our SMARTE after school programs have gone virtual! As your partner in learning, we are inviting all families in the District to participate in our Zoom clubhouse to keep students learning and engaged while you are co-working during the day. We took our most popular activities and created a fun, engaging schedule that includes STEAM activities, art, game, movement, music, yoga/meditation, read alouds, and social interactions with friends for up to 3 hours per day. See our SMARTE page for more information.

Our preschool program has moved into an virtual classroom and we are so excited to have your child join us! Children are having real-time interaction with their teachers, calendar and weather time, completing fun projects together, singing songs, reading books, dancing and playing. See our Preschool page for more information.

Congratulations to our White Oaks Elementary students, parents, staff and community who were recognized for excellence this year as a California Distinguished School! Way to go, White Oaks!
