High Energy at CSI Meet & Greet

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.

Lights, Camera, Community! The First Wolfpack Wonders Video

Exciting news from CSI! Our dStudio video space is officially up and running, and our students are already putting it to great use.

Uptown students led the way by creating our very first Wolfpack Wonders video, starting with the question: How do CSI students celebrate the winter holidays?

Throughout the project, students embraced our values of Seek, Learn, and Lead. Seeking input from their peers by interviewing and asking thoughtful questions to uncover unique holiday traditions. Learning about real-world video production while also deepening their understanding of our community. Leading by creatively sharing these stories in an inspiring and impactful way, taking the project from concept to completion. This effort highlights their ability to collaborate and think critically to share stories within our community.

As with any creative project, there were valuable lessons learned. One reflection was that we can improve audio quality by helping interviewees hold the mic closer or possibly using two microphones next time.

We’re excited to continue creating more Wolfpack Wonders videos to share the stories of our CSI community. Enjoy our first video and let us know what questions you'd like answered in future episodes!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the winter break, we want to take a moment to wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season. This is a special time of year, and we hope it brings you opportunities to create happy memories together.

We also want to express our gratitude for your ongoing partnership in your child’s education. We greatly appreciate all of your efforts in ensuring your child has attended school as much as possible so far this year.

We understand that families sometimes wish to extend their time together by planning vacations that last longer than the dates assigned to the school break. While we fully appreciate the value of family time, we want to encourage you to limit trips and vacations to the days indicated on the school calendar for the break. By doing so, you help your child stay on track academically and ensure they don’t miss out on valuable learning opportunities.

Thank you for being mindful of this and for continuing to prioritize your child’s attendance and education. 

Wishing you a safe and happy winter break, and we look forward to seeing everyone refreshed and ready to learn in the new year!

Warm regards,

Dr. Shelly Viramontez
Superintendent
