Nearly 400 parents, students and staff gathered on May 8th for a Campbell School of Innovation event where they could get acquainted, learn more about the new school, and sign up for committees and volunteer activities that interest them.

Principal Norma Jeanne Ready and the CSI staff greeted families and provided an update on the school's schedule, construction, and planning for enriching learning experiences using the design thinking process.

“We’re excited about the opportunities that CSI and design thinking can bring to all students in our district,” said District Superintendent Shelly Viramontez. “CSI offers an opportunity to be innovative in our instructional delivery to better meet the needs of today’s students and prepare them for the skills and habits required for their success in this yet to be defined  future.”

More information will be provided to parents in the months leading to the school's opening on August 22nd.

Autumn Wellness

As we enter into cold and flu season, here are some tips on how to help keep your student healthy.

As the weather begins to transition and we adjust to the time change, children are spending more time indoors and in close proximity to each other while at school - permitting germs to spread more easily. Keeping students healthy is a partnership between school and home.

Cornerstones for staying healthy:

  • Frequent handwashing: Teach and reinforce frequent handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (the time it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" twice). Key times are after using the restroom, before eating, and immediately upon returning home from school or activities.
  • Respiratory Etiquette: Teach and reinforce coughing or sneezing into a tissue or the crook of the elbow. Used tissues should be thrown away immediately, followed by handwashing.
  • Hands Off: Remind children to avoid touching their eyes, nose, and mouth, as this is a common way for viruses to enter the body.

Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a flu shot for everyone six months and older.

To help boost the immune system:

  • Prioritize Sleep: Ensure your children get the recommended amount of sleep for their age (typically 9-12 hours for school-age children). A consistent bedtime routine is vital.
  • Fuel with Nutrition: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains provides essential vitamins and minerals to bolster immunity. Think seasonal foods like apples, pumpkins, and dark leafy greens.
  • Stay Active: Regular physical activity, even simple family walks or an indoor dance party, helps support overall health.

When your student is not feeling well and needs to stay home due to a fever, vomiting or diarrhea, be sure to call the attendance line and note that your student may return to school once they are fever/symptom-free for at least 24 hours without the use of medication.

Together we can create healthy environments where students can thrive.

Fueling Success: Free School Meals for Every Campbell Union Student

All Campbell Union students have access to two free meals per school day.

At Campbell Union School District, we believe that a well-fed student is a thriving student. That's why we are proud to continue participating in the California Universal Meals Program (UMP), a landmark initiative that ensures every child in our district has consistent access to the nutrition they need to succeed in the classroom—at absolutely no cost to the family.

The Universal Meals Program is far more than just a free lunch. It is a fundamental support system designed to alleviate financial stress on families, combat child hunger, and maximize every student's potential for learning.

Since the start of the 2022-2023 school year, California has led the nation by providing two free meals—breakfast and lunch—to all TK-12 public school students, regardless of their family's income status. The UMP eliminates the daily worry of packing a lunch or managing meal debt, saving families time and money on grocery bills. Studies show this program has significantly reduced stress for parents across California.

When children are properly nourished, they can concentrate better, retain information, and have the energy they need for a full day of academics, sports, and social interaction. We strongly encourage all parents and guardians to remind their children that these healthy, delicious meals are available every morning and lunchtime. It is a stable, reliable resource for our entire community.

Campbell Union School District’s Child Nutrition Services (CNS) is committed to providing tasty and nutritious meals. Our central kitchen sources organic produce and meats with the majority of meals cooked from scratch reducing the amount of processed food products.
