Innovative Learning

During the 2022-2023 academic year, SCSD has collaborated with its community and collected input from Trustees, leadership, teachers, staff, parents, students and community partners to inform the refresh of the Strategic Plan.

At the June 15, 2023 meeting, the Board adopted the new Vision, Learner Profile and Success Indicators of the Strategic Plan. The Design Team will next work with SCSD teachers, leadership, and community to develop action plans for each. Details about plan development and rollout were also shared in the presentation.

We are excited to report that SCSD received two Kent Awards from the San Mateo County School Boards Association for our efforts in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, as well as our Tierra Linda Speech & Debate Club. Awards are given to outstanding and innovative programs either in the classroom or outside the classroom as well as district-wide programs.

SCSD has also been recognized and awarded $200,000 grant as part of the California Department of Education's Anti-Bias Education Grant Program. In the past 3 years, SCSD's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) initiative has met many goals established by the Steering Committee to elevate the diversity in our community and close opportunity and equity gaps. The three-year grant will help support the ongoing work, including supporting the position of a Community Liaison for family engagement.

Welcome back San Carlos families! I am Korah Guilar, the Interim Director of Wellness while Illana Yakubovich is out on maternity leave. I wanted to share a little intro about myself and also a parent back-to-school jitters/socialization document that I find helpful.

If you or your family should need any support, please reach out to me at [email protected] and check out our resources on the SCSD Health & Wellness page. Wishing you all a great year!

We are proud to shine a spotlight on our amazing San Carlos School Celebrations of Learning!

At the June 8th Board meeting, Superintendent Jennifer Frentress and Assistant Superintendent Hans Barber shared photos and highlights of the families, students and staff who participated in the Celebrations of Learning at each of our school campuses last month.

We are proud to shine a spotlight on the stellar staff members that work for our District. During the month of May, SCSD celebrates principals, teachers, classified employees and nurses.
