🏆 BIG NEWS! Central Middle School Student Wins National Technology Award!

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Central Middle School student Bowen Wang, who earned FIRST PLACE in the Technology Category at the prestigious 2026 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge, taking home a $3,500 award!

Bowen's award-winning project, "Aftershock Oracle: Machine Learning-Based Aftershock Risk Forecasting for Earthquake Safety," uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to help predict the location, frequency, and strength of earthquake aftershocks.

Inspired by living near the San Andreas Fault and experiencing earthquakes firsthand, Bowen analyzed decades of earthquake data to develop a tool that could help communities better prepare for aftershocks and improve public safety.

Talk about turning curiosity, creativity, and technology into real-world solutions!

Bowen's achievement is an incredible example of the innovative thinking, problem-solving, and passion for learning we love to see in our San Carlos students.

Congratulations, Bowen! Your Central Middle School and San Carlos School District communities are cheering you on! We can't wait to see what you accomplish next!

Local Funding. Local Schools. Our San Carlos Community.

🗳️ Election Day is Tuesday, November 3!

As Election Day approaches, San Carlos School District wants to ensure our community has the information needed to understand Measure K, the local school parcel tax measure on the November 3 ballot.

Did you know? State funding alone does not cover the full cost of the educational programs and services provided across our eight TK–8 schools.

Locally controlled funding plays an important role in supporting nearly 3,000 SCSD students by helping fund:
- Teachers and classroom instruction
- Core academic programs
- Student support services
- Enrichment and educational opportunities

What is Measure K?
Measure K would renew the District's existing parcel tax for eight years, providing locally controlled funding to support approximately 24 teaching positions and educational programs. Parcel Taxes = People + Programs

We encourage all San Carlos residents to learn more about Measure K and how local funding supports our schools before Election Day.

🎃🍂 YOU JUST CAN’T BEAT OCTOBER IN SAN CARLOS SCHOOLS!

Seriously… how did we fit ALL of this into ONE month?!

Pumpkin decorating, Multicultural Nights, Movie Nights, Author Visits, K9 visits, Family Fun Days, Walk-a-thons, Unity Days, campus cleanups, and Days of Service!

And the learning didn’t stop! Project-Based Learning, STEAM activities, kindergarten math, fire safety lessons, student leadership, professional development, and a trip to the Exploratorium!

Oh, and did we mention we squeezed all of this in while navigating campus construction, Halloween celebrations, costumes, and plenty of SPOOKY fun?!

We’re exhausted just WRITING about it!

Behind every experience are our AMAZING teachers, dedicated staff, supportive families, and a community that believes in public education.

Great schools don’t happen by accident. They happen because of great teachers, engaged families, and a community that invests in its schools.

Local funding helps support the people and programs that make San Carlos schools so special.

Parcel Taxes = People + Programs.

THANK YOU to everyone who makes the magic happen!

October, you were AMAZING. November… we’re going to need another cup of coffee!

Why Local Funding Matters to San Carlos Schools

Did you know that state funding alone does not cover the full cost of the educational programs and services provided by San Carlos School District? SCSD relies on a combination of state funding and locally generated revenue to support nearly 3,000 students across our TK–8 schools.

Locally controlled funding helps support:
- Teachers and classroom instruction
- Core academic programs
- Student support services
- Educational programs and learning opportunities

Unlike state funding, locally controlled revenue stays in our community and is used to support San Carlos schools.
Parcel Taxes = People + Programs

SENIORS! Homeowners 65 and older are eligible for an exemption from the parcel tax. Those who currently receive an exemption DO NOT need to reapply. To find out more information, please contact Lisa Ceragioli in our Business Office at:

🦋 Mariposa Monarchs in Action!

At tonight’s School Board meeting, Mariposa Upper Elementary Principal Theresa Fox shared an update with Trustees on the teaching, learning, programs, and services that support our Monarchs.

Fifth-grade students helped bring that learning to life by demonstrating how they are teaching fourth graders what it means to be a Self-Aware Learner, an important part of our SCSD Learner Profile.

Students shared sample notes with examples of simple ways to put self-awareness into action:

✓ Smile at five different people
✓ Open a door for someone
✓ Organize your belongings

From building self-awareness to practicing kindness and responsibility, our Monarchs are learning valuable skills that extend beyond the classroom.

We love seeing students lead, learn from one another, and bring our Learner Profile to life!
