CSI Connect

We are proud to share that our Yard Duty Supervisors are committed to the Seek, Learn, Lead motto of CSI! During the Project Cornerstone training, there was a focus on building students' skills and assets and connecting to form positive relationships. Through our many partnerships, we are collectively and continuously creating a caring community. Interested in joining our Yard Duty as another caring adult on campus? We have both volunteer and paid positions, please stop by our Welcome Center or call (408) 364-4222 for more information. 

This fall, the CSI ASB (Associated Student Body) applied for an Innovation Team Grant from our school district. The team was awarded a grant to go to a leadership conference together and put on a community event. Please watch this short video that the ASB made to share their learning. “Applying for the grant was a challenge because we were nervous to pitch our idea in front of the judges and other students. But we overcome our fear and progressed as a leadership community. The funds from the grant let us go to the leadership training and bring the community together with a Multicultural Night.”  - Joshua J., CSI ASB Vice-President

At the leadership conference, students learned about leadership skills and some activities that they could lead at school. They have been using these skills to lead games and activities for all uptown students during weekly Prime Time Challenges. Students also wanted to bring the whole CSI community together with a Multicultural Night last month. They are very proud of the number of people who shared their culture at the event and want your feedback. “We’ve constructed a survey so that we can learn if we met our goal of bringing the community together. Please help us take the survey: bit.ly/csiasbfeedback Thank you!” - Keilia B., CSI ASB Treasurer

We are so excited to expand our team of learning designers at CSI this school year!  Our new learning designers - some new to the teaching profession and some with many years of teaching experience - have been on campus these past couple of days to learn about what makes CSI unique.  Yesterday, Maureen Carroll from Lime Design joined our new learning designers (along with some of our veteran CSI team) for a day of hands-on learning, taking them through the design thinking process and learning about design abilities through watercolors.  We look forward to applying our learning when our students return to school on Thursday, August 19th!
