Did you know San Carlos School District offers two early learning preschool classrooms providing families with free, high-quality childcare?

Do you have — or know — a 3- or 4-year-old? Families may qualify for our state-funded preschool program, and we can help verify eligibility.

At San Carlos Early Learning, children thrive in a warm, nurturing environment that fosters curiosity, social growth, and school readiness — preparing them for success in kindergarten and beyond.

Please join us for the PTA’s monthly meeting this Wednesday, Oct. 22, at 8:45 a.m. in the school library! All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Here is the agenda, which includes a Zoom link for those who cannot attend in person.

On the 31st, students may wear their costumes to school or change during lunch. Here are some guidelines to follow: Costumes should be appropriate for 4th and 5th grade students. Please refrain from “horror” costumes, as not all students are comfortable with these. No weapons of any kind will be allowed at school. Please do not bring plastic guns, swords, or other weapons. Halloween masks should be worn only for the parade, not during class time or on the playground at lunch. This would be unsafe and distract from learning. Students should be able to walk safely around campus in their costumes. Leave props at home for the big Halloween event. We cannot be responsible for lost items. Thanks for helping us make the holiday safe and enjoyable for all!

Halloween is almost here! On Friday afternoon (Oct. 31), we’ll have a school-wide costume parade after lunch, followed by carnival games and activities planned by our PTA, along with Arroyo’s favorite Halloween activity, a Haunted House! Parents are welcome to join us for the parade, which will be held on the blacktop at 12:50 p.m. Please consider volunteering to help make Halloween a success. Click the link above to find ways to help. Volunteer clearance is not required to watch the parade but is required for those staying to help with the activities. We’ll have photographers capturing the highlights to share with parents who aren’t able to attend. We hope to see you there!

ROPES is the Rite Of Passage ExperienceS program that is specifically designed as an optional enrichment activity as students complete a cycle of their education (early mastery, intermediate mastery, advanced mastery).

Students in grades 4, 6, and 8 will have the opportunity to complete ROPES projects. Join us at our ROPES Information Night on Zoom Monday, October 27, at 7:00pm for students and parents. Click on the title link to learn more.

We are deeply grateful for Measure N, the local parcel tax that voters generously approved to protect programs and retain excellent teachers. However, rising costs have made it challenging for Measure N to cover all the needs of our schools.

To continue providing the strong education our students deserve, SCSD is considering asking the community to extend Measure N with a modest increase — and your input matters.

Share your thoughts by November 21, 2025! Together, we can keep San Carlos schools strong. 💙
