What an AMZING PARADE TODAY!!

California Education Code requires schools to annually publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC) to provide data “by which parents can make meaningful comparisons between public school enabling them to make informed decisions on which school to enroll their children.” CCUSD believes that information contained in these reports will enable parents to gain an accurate and realistic picture of its schools.

SARCs are posted on the school’s and district’s websites in English and will soon be posted in Spanish. Please access them at www.ccusd.org/sarcs/ . If you desire a hard copy of your school’s SARC, please contact your school’s main office.

Lin Howe's SARC can be found here: https://4.files.edl.io/2812/01/29/25/170732-4c0f1999-72d7-4b6d-84cf-5a974b09ae5d.pdf

Bully Free Game Show Assembly 1/29/2025

We are thrilled to share that our students recently participated in The Bully-Free Game Show, an interactive and engaging assembly designed to empower students with kindness, respect, and strategies to stand up against bullying. Hosted by Dream Shapers, this fun-filled experience combined high-energy games with important lessons about fostering a positive school culture.

About Dream Shapers

Their mission is "to empower young minds through engaging educational experiences that promote character, leadership, and lifelong learning." Through this assembly, students learned valuable tools to recognize bullying, stand up for themselves and others, and build a more inclusive community.

We encourage you to continue the conversation at home! Here are some questions to spark meaningful discussions with your child about what they learned:

• What was your favorite part of The Bully-Free Game Show, and what did you learn from it?
• How can you help someone who is being bullied, and why is it important to stand up for others?
• What are some ways we can make our school and community a kinder, more inclusive place?

Thank you for your continued support in helping our students grow into confident, compassionate individuals. Let’s work together to keep our school Bully-Free!
