Updates coming to SamTrans Bus School Routes in August

Effective August 7, 2022, SamTrans will implement changes to many of its school-oriented routes. These route changes are included in the final Reimagine SamTrans plan, which was a nearly three-year effort to analyze the bus system with the goal of improving service and responding to changing ridership in San Mateo County. These upcoming school-oriented route changes will improve efficiency while maintaining service for many students who rely on SamTrans to get to school. In addition to routing changes, there will also be schedule adjustments to many routes to respond to changing school bell schedules for the 2022/23 school year. Check the website below after Aug. 7 for more information.

Message from Our Principal, Mindy Shelton

Welcome to Arroyo Upper Elementary! Our Arroyo mascot is the Eagle and Together We Soar, as we come together as a school community to support our students in connecting with their peers and growing socially and academically. This year it’s more important than ever that we continue to implement our Strategic Plan.

In particular, we’ll be focusing on:

Meeting each child’s individual needs both social-emotionally and academically
Using Habits of Mind, the 5C’s, and innovative practices to engage students so that we can accelerate learning
Helping students develop a sense of ownership for their learning and encouraging independence, goal setting, and a growth mindset.
Supporting parents as partners in their child’s educational journey
