For information on our return to school planning update.

This past summer, SCEF and school PTA leaders decided to collaborate to raise much-needed support for our students. Working together, we can create the best experience possible for our eager students and outstanding teachers. The TeamKid campaign is a result of this cooperation. Through your two-fold commitment to SCEF and PTA, you’ll be supporting the local-level funding that bridges the gap between the needs of San Carlos Schools, and our CA state funding. Your school will benefit from your contribution to PTA as a donor, member, and advocate. As always, your school will continue to have important programs and people funded by the grant from SCEF. Join TeamKid by making your PTA donation this fall and planning your SCEF donation for a date that works best for your family.

Each quarter, two representatives of the San Carlos School District Board of Trustees and the two representatives of the City of San Carlos City Council, along with staff from the District and City, meet in a "2+2 Meeting." This is a public meeting where the District and City communicate and collaborate on topics related to both entities. The next 2+2 Meeting is this Friday, Oct 30, 2020 at at 9:00 am.

You can read the agenda here and the minutes from the last meeting here. See the agenda for instructions on viewing the meeting and submitting public comment.

Read the SCSD Return to School Planning Update. During last Thursday’s Board meeting on October 8, Trustees heard from our Principals about the next steps we are ready to take to prepare for in-person learning on campus. We are taking a measured, incremental approach to preparing for in-person learning to ensure the safety of staff and students, and continue with daily engagement with teachers. The first step was approving Phase 1 of our draft Return To School Procedure Plan. Visit the Superintendent's page to see the board meeting video and the slide presentation.
