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.

In our district, we consistently strive to do better. To continue to improve, we need input from our community. Our annual School Experience Survey is the best way for us to reach the greatest number of parents, guardians, staff and students across the district.

The survey results provide vital information for us to know what's working and what we can improve. What can we celebrate, and what areas need more attention?

The survey is quick, confidential, and necessary feedback for us to make our schools great places to learn and work.

Parents, please look for the survey link in your email, ParentSquare account or posters at your child's school.

We are in the process of adopting a new curriculum for our middle grades for English/ Language Arts.  Our teachers are piloting one unit from each curriculum, completing the assessments, and sharing feedback with the instructional team. 

As part of our adoption process, we invite parents and community members to preview and provide feedback on the two curricula being piloted. The feedback from parents, community and our teachers will be shared with the piloting team and the Governing Board before a final adoption decision is made. Implementation is planned for the 2025-26 school year. 

The proposed grade 6-8 curricula, CommonLit and Savvas myPerspectives, will be available for review on Thursday, February 6, 2025, in the Hamilton Room, at the District Administration Office (155 N 3rd St., Campbell). Viewing sessions are from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

For questions, please contact your school’s principal or call the District’s Teaching and Learning Department at 408-364-4200.

Message from the Superintendent re: PowerSchool Cyberattack

Dear Families:

Yesterday, January 7, 2025, we were informed by PowerSchool, our Student Information System (SIS) platform, that they experienced an international cyber attack at the end of December. This afternoon, our data team was invited to a webinar by PowerSchool to learn more about the situation. We have confirmed that some of our data was accessed. Fortunately, the disclosed information did not include any students’ Social Security Numbers. 

Essentially, the data accessed was the student's name, birthdate, address and similar information.  The discernable data fields accessed can be found here.

In the webinar, PowerSchool  shared their corrective actions and confidence that there is no further threat to the data.

While there is no indication that student passwords were compromised, we will supplement our daily monitoring system by providing students with new passwords in the next few days. 

We have worked extensively to ensure security in our data systems, such as implementing a Multi-Factor Authentication process, geographic restrictions, suspicious login protections and other security measures. It is unfortunate that, in spite of these efforts, our data was accessed as part of the PowerSchool cyberattack. We will continue to work to ensure our data is secure and will ensure our Student Information System increases security protections. 

PowerSchool is monitoring the situation, has engaged a cybersecurity remediation company to prevent future incidents, and will provide our staff with updates for our community. For questions related to PowerSchool’s security procedures, please visit PowerSchool’s website or email Security [at] PowerSchool.com.
