A Message from the Superintendent
With news about changes in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), we want to remind our families that Campbell Union School District is committed to welcoming and supporting all students and their families, regardless of their immigration status.
Last spring, our Governing Board adopted a Resolution Reaffirming Support of Immigrant Students and Families, which reaffirms that support and provides guidance about how to provide it within legal parameters. The full text of the resolution is available online at campbellusd.org/policy, or in print from the District Administration, 408-341-7254 or ask_us [at] campbellusd.org.
The community is invited to help choose a final name for a new school being created for students in Transitional Kindergarten (TK) through Eighth Grade.
With the Governing Board’s approval of the TK-8 implementation plan this summer, staff is continuing the work of creating a new educational option for Campbell Union School District families. Among those tasks: what to name it.
The District is asking employees, parents, and other members of the community to take a 3-question survey to help choose the name of the school, which will open next August (2018) to grades TK-4th and will add upper grades in subsequent years. CUSD Students in grades 3-7 will also have the chance to participate at school through an internal, secure version of the survey.
A Message from Superintendent Shelly Viramontez
The recent events in Charlottesville and other divisive and hate-filled exchanges remind us of the importance of creating an inclusive and caring environment for our students, families and the surrounding community.
Building positive relationships is a key value for us in Campbell Union School District. In fact, preparing our students for successful futures requires that we teach them to be inclusive and to create positive relationships despite perceived differences.
We demonstrate that value through our commitment to inclusion, our intolerance of harassment and bullying of any kind, and our efforts to maintain positive learning environments for everyone in our schools.
In this way, we create:
Celebrating and respecting our diversity is essential to our charge of developing in our young students the empathy, compassion and other skills and knowledge they will need to meet the demands of their future – to ensure they are prepared for the challenges of college and career. It is an awesome responsibility that we take very seriously.
“Diversity is about all of us, and about us having to figure out how to walk through this world together.”
(Author Jacqueline Woodson)

We hope our families had a wonderful summer break. Class lists will be posted on the windows by the front office on Tuesday, August 22nd after 4:30pm. Due to student confidentiality, we post class lists by your student's ID number and not their name. You can find this on the top right hand side of the yellow PI card sent home in the welcome packet. Our first day of school is Wednesday, August 23rd with our first bell at 7:55am. All students must be in class by 8:00am. If you will be dropping off your student (s) in the morning, please use our designated drop off area in front of the green double gates next to the front office. Please do not park in this area as we need to keep the line of cars moving. If you would like to walk your student to class, you may park in one of our 2 parking lots or on the street. Wednesday is also a minimum day with TK-3rd grade dismissal at 1:10pm and 4th-6th at 1:20pm. Thursday and Friday will be regular dismissal time with TK-3rd grade at 2:10pm and 4th-6th grade at 2:20pm. We are excited to see you all!
