Masking indoors is optional starting March 14
San Carlos School District is aligned with the San Mateo County Health Department, making masking optional indoors starting March 14. We respect all students' individual choice around masking. We continue to strive to support students and make everyone feel as though they belong. This will be another change and we will continue to work through this and help students feel safe at school. We have not yet seen a policy around masking, bell covers and playing in the Band. Stay tuned!

Ability Awareness Week Is Coming - March 7-11!
The mission of Ability Awareness week throughout the San Carlos School District is to promote understanding, acceptance and appreciation of individual learning and ability differences through fun, experiential activities. The Special Education District Advisory Council (SEDAC) strives to instill in our children that everyone is different and can do different things. It is common to say what a person HAS, but we choose to educate and focus on what a person IS. We emphasize abilities not limitations.
Students will be engaging in various activities throughout the week giving them a chance to experience what it is like to complete a basic task while having a learning or developmental difference. Students will all have a set of common experiences through activities already taking place on campus to spark discussion, increased understanding and compassion.
