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.

Your Guide to Back-to-School Information

Students’ first day of school is Wednesday, August 21, 2024, and it’s an early release day.

As we gear up for the new school year, we want to ensure that families have the information they need to make the transition smooth. Here are some key resources that may help.

District and School Websites: The district’s website has comprehensive back-to-school information, such as the school year calendar, bus schedules, lunch menus, district-wide services, and much more. Your school’s website offers site-specific information, such as orientation dates, bell schedules, parent resources, and staff directory.

Back-to-School Packet: Around the first week in August, watch for the back-to-school packet in your email. This packet contains essential information, including official policies and notices in the Parent/Guardian Handbook, and important forms that need your attention. Please review this packet thoroughly to ensure you are well-prepared for the start of the school year.

Parent Communication: Our Parent Resources web page is a one-stop location for resources to keep families informed. You’ll find links to ParentSquare (our primary parent communication tool), emergency response information, e-newsletter subscriptions for your school(s), and the PowerSchool parent portal (our student information system).

School Office Staff: Once the school year begins in August, our friendly school office staff will be available to help you with any inquiries. Office hours and contact details can be found on the school website.

Social Media: Follow our school district on social media for real-time updates, reminders, and highlights of school activities. We’re CampbellUSD on Instagram, Facebook and Youtube.

Parent-Teacher Committees: Contact the parent-teacher or home-and-school club for opportunities to get involved and stay informed about school events and volunteer opportunities. These groups often organize back-to-school events where you can meet other parents, teachers, and school staff. You’ll find a link to them on the school’s website.

To us, families are our partners in educating students to their highest potential. We are committed to providing you with the resources needed to ensure a successful start to the school year and every day going forward.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Wednesday, August 21st!

Are you ready for an adventure with your fourth grader?

The California State Park Adventure Pass is just for you. See how your family can visit some of the most amazing parks in the country—for free!

California's State Parks office is offering the California State Park Adventure Pass, which provides free entry for fourth graders and their families at 54 amazing state parks. Mountains, deserts, forests, rivers … the choice of where to visit is yours.

The benefits are many! Studies from the Children and Nature Organization indicate that access to parks and greenspace can lead to improvements in children’s physical well-being, social emotional learning and academic outcomes, with children experiencing reduced stress and demonstrating more enthusiasm for school.

Getting a free pass online is simple. All that is needed is a name, address, phone number and an email address. Individuals without access to a smartphone, computer or printer, and/or do not have an email address can still get a pass by visiting a State Parks Pass Sales Office—click here for a list of locations—or by calling (800) 444-7275.

A Year of Student Growth Complete; Looking Ahead to the Next

A Message from the Superintendent

The end of another school year is a time to reflect on the learning, growth, and countless memorable moments our students have experienced this year. Your involvement, commitment and encouragement made those experiences possible, and I want to thank you.

It has been a joy to witness the progress our students have made and to see them develop both academically and personally. They have gained competency in critical thinking, self-direction, collaboration, innovation, and empathy. Their growth is truly impressive!

To help keep the fun of learning happening through the summer, I want to remind you that every student in our district has an online library account through the Santa Clara County Library District. It can be used to access books, music, videos and more.

Together—school, home, and community—we create an environment that fosters curiosity and a love for learning that can last a lifetime. 

I look forward to seeing what the future holds for each of our students, and wish you all a wonderful summer filled with rest, fun, and family time.
