Launch Post
Families, we want to hear your perspective on technology and learning.
Growing national evidence shows that unmonitored digital devices can impact student attention and learning. A recent APA report highlights how attention-grabbing app features can divert cognitive focus, while an NBC News investigation found over 95% of school-hour YouTube logs were non-educational content like video games and adverts.

Take Santa Barbara Unified's Tech with Intent survey and share what you want the district to consider as we develop new policies on AI, screen time, and content filtering.

Complete the family survey by Friday, Nov. 6, at 11:59 p.m.:

A day of learning for the people who help our students learn every day.

Santa Barbara Unified staff came together for our Oct. 26 Professional Learning Day, with 128 sessions focused on strengthening teaching practices and building a Culture of Care across our schools.

From literacy instruction to the power of play in transitional kindergarten, staff explored ways to support students’ learning, connection and well-being.

Thank you to our presenters, especially our own staff, for sharing your expertise, and to every team member for the care and commitment you bring to our students each day!

Building healthier futures for our Royals!

Yesterday, we broke ground on the Building Community Wellness Project at San Marcos High School, an investment in health care career education and student well-being.

The project will bring new classrooms, science labs, and hands-on patient-care learning spaces to the Cottage Health Careers Academy, helping students prepare for careers that allow them to live and work in their hometown. It will also modernize the Elings Wells Family Wellness Center, strengthening spaces where students and community members can access care and support.

Thank you to the Royal Pride Foundation, Cottage Health, and our many community partners for helping expand opportunities for our students. Construction is expected to be completed in December 2027.
