Our school uses an electronic news system to send weekly information home to families. This system allows parents and guardians to receive via email the kind of weekly information that used to be in student backpacks: school news, calendars, correspondence, and flyers about activities and programs. Now the information can go directly to parents and guardians who subscribe to the e-news service.
The company providing part of the distribution service is called Peachjar. You may have received a welcome email from Peachjar that contained login information. You do not need to login to receive or view school flyers. It is an option for those who wish to manage their own settings.
Our e-news system is used exclusively for distribution of school-approved information. Your email address will not be shared or used for any other purpose.
If you have questions about our new e-news distribution service, please contact the school office or email Marla Sanchez at msanchez [at] campbellusd.org.

The State of California launched a new online survey to improve school districts’ Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAPs). The LCAPs are key tools for establishing 3-year goals to improve student outcomes and align spending with the goals.
Anyone who is interested – students, parents, educators, community members and others –can participate in the survey and help to make the plans easier to use, understand, and review.
The survey is open until 5 p.m., March 25, at cdefoundation.org/lcap-survey.
A Message from Superintendent Andrew
Federal Court Judge Kimberly Mueller held a hearing to amend her recent ruling pertaining to the protocol for releasing personally identifiable student information by the California Department of Education (CDE). She noted that the large number of objections the court has already received did indicate a high level of concern from the public.
The amended protocol calls for a court-appointed special master for discovery who will have to approve which data the plaintiffs can receive from the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CaLPADS) database. More details are on the district website. (www.campbellusd.org)
The District is identifying which new Math textbooks and instructional materials to recommend for next school year. Come to either of these two sessions to see the materials yourself and to offer input and suggestions.
