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.

Sustainable Support: Ensuring Mental Health and SEL Remain at the Heart of CUSD

Campbell Union School District maximizes statewide initiative to make social emotional learning sustainable.

Knowing that social emotional learning (SEL) is a key component to school success, the Campbell Union School District (CUSD) is transitioning to a sustainable funding model for its "whole child" approach - including mental health services, wellness centers, and social-emotional learning (SEL) - by participating in the statewide Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI).  

Thanks to the California legislation adopting CYBHI, here is what you can anticipate:

  • No Impact on Insurance Coverage: CUSD’s ability to bill the insurance companies will not affect a family’s insurance benefits, premiums, or deductibles. By state law, insurers are prohibited from passing these costs on to families.

  • No Impact on Outside Care: Receiving services at school does not reduce or limit a student’s ability to see their own private doctors or specialists outside of school.
  • No Out-of-Pocket Costs: Families will never be charged co-pays or fees for these school-based services.
  • No Interruption of Services: This change is strictly about how the district pays for staff and resources; it will not reduce the quality or availability of the support students currently receive.
  • Sustainability: Instead of relying on temporary grants, CUSD will use a third-party agency to bill insurance for services already being provided on campus.
  • Privacy First: The district will collect insurance information annually, but this data is used strictly for billing. It is protected by HIPAA and FERPA privacy laws and will not be shared.
  • Universal Access: A student will never be denied services if they do not have insurance or if a family chooses not to provide their information.

100th Day of School!

100 days smarter with our Wolfpack crew!

100

We officially hit the 100-day mark on February 3rd! Our campus was buzzing with excitement as students celebrated being 100 days brighter. From counting out 100 snacks to stringing 100 beaded necklaces, our young learners proved that they are masters of the number 100. It’s been an incredible journey of growth so far, and we can’t wait to see what the next 80 days bring! This milestone is a wonderful reminder that every day of effort adds up to big success. 


Global School Play Day!

Who knew 'unstructured' could look this good? Check out these highlights from CSI’s Day of Play celebration!

Yesterday, CSI joined thousands of schools worldwide for Global School Play Day, a day dedicated to the power of unstructured, screen-free play. Our classrooms transformed into hubs of creativity as students built elaborate forts, challenged each other to classic board games, and shared favorite toys brought from home. 
The fun didn't stop at the classroom door! During outdoor time, students teamed up with their "Buddy Classes" for a collaborative afternoon of sidewalk chalk art, team sports, and playground games. To top off the excitement, we had a surprise visit from a local celebrity—Gigante, the San Jose Giants mascot! From high-fives to dance-offs, Gigante helped make this a day our students won't soon forget.

We launched CSI Futures Week with a staff showcase! Teachers and staff shared their personal college stories and alma maters, giving students a firsthand look at the diverse educational paths available to them. 

Our hallways transformed into a roadmap for the future! Classrooms competed in a high-stakes door decorating contest, highlighting everything from ivy-league universities and local trade schools to dream careers. 

Uptown students took a deep dive into professional life during our Guest Speaker Career Panel. Our guest experts shared invaluable wisdom on navigating educational goals and setting sights on the right career path. 

Competition heated up in the Wellness Center as Midtown and Uptown students faced off in College & Career Jeopardy! Teams battled it out during lunch, answering tough questions on student life, financial aid, campus resources, and trade school pathways. It was a high-energy way to turn complex info into a win for the whole team! 


We want to extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible Counseling Department and their dedicated interns. This week wouldn’t have been possible without their vision and hard work in creating such an inspiring and educational experience for our students. We are so lucky to have a team that cares so deeply about our students' futures!
