					<description><![CDATA[Each month, our Spotlight on Excellence highlights a unique aspect of what makes San Carlos schools exceptional. 

Assistant Superintendent Hans Barber introduced Heather Elementary School Principal Diederich Bonemeyer, who presented an update to Trustees on the ways students are becoming Kind Citizens through learning cultural awareness, civic engagement, and environmental responsibility, to have a positive impact on the school community. He was joined by Kindergarten and 3rd grade students who shared experiences and insights on what they learned in each of these areas, and what it means to be a Heather Colt.

Join us as we delve into the incredible world of teaching and learning, exploring the exceptional programs and services that make our San Carlos schools truly stand out!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Did you know? San Carlos School District offers many preschool options so families can choose the program that best fits their needs.

We have early learning/preschool classes on all of our elementary campuses — Arundel, Brittan Acres, Heather & White Oaks. It’s a wonderful way to get to know your incoming school community and start building friendships early!

State-funded preschool spots are available now at Arundel, FREE for eligible families. Your family may qualify for our free, state-funded preschool program, and we can help determine eligibility. For example, a family of four earning up to $127,338 per year may qualify.

At San Carlos Early Learning (@play_shapes_minds), children thrive in a warm, nurturing environment that fosters curiosity, social growth, and school readiness — helping them build the skills they need in Universal Transitional Kindergarten (UTK) and Kindergarten and beyond.

					<description><![CDATA[We are deeply grateful for Measure N, the local parcel tax that voters generously approved to protect programs and retain excellent teachers. However, rising costs have made it challenging for Measure N to cover all the needs of our schools.

To continue providing the strong education our students deserve, SCSD is considering asking the community to extend Measure N with a modest increase — and your input matters. 

Share your thoughts by November 21, 2025! Together, we can keep San Carlos schools strong. 💙]]></description>
