Please find here a P-3 School FAQ link, as well as the presentation made by our Principals at the Town Hall on 8/16.

On behalf of your PTA, we’d like to welcome you all back to school. Normally at this time of year, we’d be meeting you all at Welcome Days, Back to School Nights, and any number of other face-to-face community events. And while those traditions don’t 100% translate to our strange new virtual world, as a PTA we are determined to find ways to adapt; to build different but equally meaningful interactions that bring our BA family together and help ensure the rich, whole child experience for which BA is well known.

Principal Fast has compiled many resources for students and parents to use this summer to keep the learning alive!

Online submission for your student's reading log hours are due by this Wednesday, April 8. Individual winners and class totals will be announced soon!

The San Carlos School District Opening Up Schools Plan was approved at the June 18 School Board meeting to prepare for school in the fall. You may review it here.

The Opening Up Schools Task Force began work on this plan May 27, 2020. We want to thank the 130 staff and parents who participated in the weekly discussions by providing input and feedback. Staff invested significant time to create this plan based on the San Mateo County Office of Education Pandemic Recovery Framework’s four pillars, stakeholder input, parent and staff surveys, and the ability to implement models based on our current staffing and the availability of space on our campuses, to allow for physical distancing. Staff used the building blocks of health and safety, social-emotional needs of students, and academics as the foundation of the plan.

Welcome to our new SCSD Distance Learning Portal

Here you will find resources and daily lesson plans for your child(ren). Please see your school page to get announcements, guidelines, and procedures. Check in each day via the attendance form located on your school's grade level page. SCSD is obligated by the state of California to continue to track student “attendance.”

Complimentary meals, breakfast and lunch, will be available for pick up at multiple sites in East Palo Alto and Menlo Park from 10:00 am-1:00 pm for children in the Ravenswood community, 18 years & younger. Find out more by clicking on the link above.

Although our educational efforts are considered essential services, we are effectively closing our campuses to both students and staff starting March 17. We will reduce activity to what is strictly necessary to continue offering distance learning and limited school lunches. Please click on the link above for more information.
