Who We Are

Brittan Acres Elementary is a warm, neighborhood school where every child is known, valued, and supported. As a TK–3 school, we are committed to educating the whole child in a safe, inclusive, and caring environment.
 
Students engage in hands-on, authentic learning that fosters Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Citizenship while encouraging Curiosity, Composure, and Compassion. Our dedicated educators partner with families to create a strong sense of belonging and provide engaging, workshop-based instruction in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and STEAM, helping every student grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

BONDS v Parcel Tax image

Bonds vs. Parcel Taxes: What’s the difference?

Both provide important local funding for San Carlos schools—but they support very different things.

BONDS = BUILDINGS
Bond funding, such as Measure H, supports long-term improvements to school facilities, including classrooms, roofs, windows, HVAC systems and modernization projects.

PARCEL TAXES = PEOPLE + PROGRAMS
Parcel tax funding supports ongoing educational programs and services, including teachers and academic programs that directly support students.

As we look ahead to the upcoming parcel tax renewal, we want our community to understand how local school funding works—and why these two funding sources are not interchangeable.

Principal's Message

Welcome to Brittan Acres!
 
Our school is a place where children are known, valued, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. Every day, I see students who are curious, creative, and eager to learn, and I’m grateful to be part of a community that supports them so deeply.
 
At BA, we focus on building strong relationships. When children feel safe and connected, they take risks, make friends, solve problems, and discover what they’re capable of. Our teachers and staff work hard to create classrooms where students are seen as individuals and where every child has access to meaningful learning and joyful moments throughout the day.
 
We’re also working together to build consistent routines across the school that help students understand expectations and feel confident. When families, staff, and students are aligned, we create a school culture where everyone can thrive.
 
I look forward to getting to know each of you and partnering with you throughout the year. Thank you for being part of our Brittan Acres community. It’s an honor to serve your children and support the incredible work that happens here every day.
 
Warmly,
Jude Noyes
Principal, Brittan Acres Elementary School
