Cambrian Superintendent Update
April 17, 2025
I hope this message finds you well and that you all had a restful and joyful Spring Break. As we return to school and begin the final stretch of the academic year, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued dedication, support, and partnership throughout the year.
With just a few months left, this is a time for reflection and renewed energy. Our students have accomplished so much already, and I’m incredibly proud of the hard work happening across all our elementary and middle schools. Let’s keep that momentum going as we finish the year strong!
A few important reminders and updates:
Thank You, Community — Measure R in Action! A heartfelt thank you to our amazing community for supporting Measure R. Thanks to you, we’re ramping up the long-awaited modernization of our classrooms! While we’re thrilled about the transformation, we also recognize the challenges that come with living—and teaching—through construction. Teachers are in the process of packing and relocating, which means our classrooms may not look quite as polished for Open House. You might see a few boxes and signs of transition along the way. We appreciate your understanding, flexibility, and continued support as we work toward beautiful new learning spaces for our students.
As always, thank you for being such an essential part of our school community. Let’s make these final weeks meaningful and memorable for our students. Thank you for your continued partnership in your child’s education!
The next meeting of the Cambrian School Board will be held TONIGHT: Thursday, April 17, 2025 at 7 p.m. Meetings are held in person at the Professional Development Center located at 4115 Jacksol Drive, San Jose, CA 95124 in Building 7, and can be viewed online as well. Agenda and login information will be available the week of the April 17th meeting. The meeting is open to the public.
April is Stress Awareness Month—a reminder to prioritize mental well-being. With academic and daily demands, both students and staff should take intentional moments to reset, breathe, and practice mindfulness. Taking small breaks makes a big difference. Step outside, take deep breaths, or do a quick mindfulness exercise—your well-being matters!
STRESS MANAGEMENT TIPS FOR FAMILIES:
Create a Relaxing Home Environment – Consider keeping spaces organized, incorporating soft lighting, or playing calming music to promote a peaceful atmosphere.
Prioritize Family Time – Set aside time for activities like game nights, walks, or cooking together to strengthen connections and reduce stress.
Encourage Open Conversations – Check in regularly with family members about their feelings and challenges, offering support and reassurance.
Set Healthy Boundaries with Technology – Establish screen-free times, especially during meals and before bed, to encourage mindfulness and relaxation.
