Last Thursday at our School Site Council Meeting we learned more about the potential for creating outdoor learning spaces that are climate resilient and places for students to learn and socialize play. Breakout groups brainstormed ideas for our campus. If you are interested in being part of a stakeholder group, email Kristen Ugrin, [email protected].
8th Grade has Spirit
Last Thursday, 8th graders earned additional recess and time to hang out and socialize after winning the Spirit Week contest for participation. It's game on and we will have more opportunities to show school spirit.
It's Time to Complete Your Registration/Enrollment for Fall 2022
Each spring, we ask ALL families to complete their annual registration forms through PowerSchool (InfoSnap) online. Your timely completion of this process will assist us in having the most accurate numbers for returning students for the 2022-23 school year, which is directly tied to the SCSD budget and will allow the District in planning for staffing needs more effectively.
This week, you will receive an email from [email protected] with the Subject Line: San Carlos School District - Online Student Information Forms (2022-2023) Instructions that will provide you with specific directions on how to complete the registration process online, including a link to access the InfoSnap portal, as well as a special ID number for your student, referred to as the “InfoSnap Code."
The deadline to complete your InfoSnap forms is April 1. Please complete your student registration for fall 2022 ASAP. If you are not planning to return to our district next year, please notify your school office as soon as possible.
We are watching enrollment closely to properly prepare for next year. Thank you for your assistance!
