Community support and solid fiscal management has protected schools from worse impacts.
A Message from Superintendent Shelly Viramontez, Ed.D.
Preparing our students for success in the yet-to-be-defined workplace of the future is rewarding and challenging. Recently, the challenges have increased with changes to economic conditions.
A few major factors have placed new strains on school and district budgets for our district and many others in the region.
The bottom line: Campbell Union School District will need to make $2 million in adjustments to our operating budget for the coming school year.
We are up to the challenge. We have taken some steps already to mitigate some the impacts of that large funding cut:
Our fiscal responsibility has earned us the public’s confidence and support. Our community shares our commitment to educate all students to their highest potential, approving school bonds to maintain and modernize our buildings and grounds and a parcel tax to provide competitive teacher salaries and up-to-date classroom technology.
Despite serious fiscal challenges coming our way, we are committed to maintaining both our financial solvency and the integrity of our instructional programs as we prepare our students for the opportunities of their yet-to-be-defined futures.
Come see how our STEAM-powered education is energizing students across the district.
All students and families are invited to this annual celebration of the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics marvels our students have discovered and created.
When: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 • 4 – 7 p.m.
Where: 295 Cherry Lane, Campbell (Campbell School of Innovation campus)

An Internet Safety Message from Superintendent Shelly Viramontez. Ed.D.
Dear Parents,
We want to make you aware of what seems to be the latest viral challenge targeting children. It is called the Momo Challenge, and it centers around a disturbing character suggesting dangerous tasks for kids to perform. From what we have learned, these and other suggestions can also be found spliced into some YouTube Kids videos, including Fortnite and Peppa the Pig. This challenge also occurs through an app called WhatsApp, which could function on both phones and tablets.
We recommend that you talk to your child about these kinds of challenges, in a way that you feel is appropriate for their understanding. Given the connection and concern with messages within YouTube Kids videos, we also recommend that you monitor what your child is watching and screen the videos, even if they appear to be safe, to ensure their viewing does not include harmful messages.
The links below offer some information about the Internet hoax and resources to help you set rules at home:

o Media Guidelines for All Kids of All Ages
o Safe Search Kids
In our schools, we are aware of this trending issue and continue working to ensure students follow safe Internet use. Throughout the school year, our teachers reinforce the expectations for safe use and responsible practices described in our Student Digital Safety contracts. They also use the Common Sense Media resources and our lesson bank to teach grade-specific digital citizenship lessons.
If you have any further questions, please contact your child’s school.
Student safety is our top-most priority—even when they are traveling between home and school.
As students become more comfortable about walking or riding bikes between school and home, we want to be sure they stay alert and safe. Please talk to your child about how to stay safe while traveling to and from school.
Some suggested reminders are:
1. If possible, don’t walk or ride alone.
2. Stay aware of your surroundings. Watch where you’re going and what is happening around you.
3. Tell someone where you are going and when you will return.
4. Use cross walks and obey traffic signals.
5. Avoid strangers, and tell an adult right away if any suspicious people approach you.
Thank you for being our partner in student safety.

Parents and planners ask: When will the NEXT school year start?
We know that many families want to plan summer vacations that won't conflict with the start of school. Although the full 2019-20 school year calendar is not yet official, we have determined that students will start school during the week of August 19, 2019. The exact date within that week will be determined by Governing Board action at next month's meeting, on March 7th.
As you plan ahead, please bear in mind that our schools also schedule middle school orientations and kindergarten "round ups" in the days preceding the start of school.
Once the school calendar is official, we will post key dates on our online calendars, websites, and on campus bulletin boards.
