We are aware that some in the surrounding neighborhood have raised concerns regarding the lighting of the new construction at Capri. In response, we conducted a comprehensive review with our project architects, electrical engineers, and Facilities team to address concerns regarding energy consumption and light pollution.
Our evaluation confirmed that the current lighting system fully complies with Title 24 requirements, Division of the State Architect (DSA) standards, and the City of Campbell’s municipal performance standards. To objectively assess resident feedback, staff measured illumination levels at the residential fence line. These measurements ranged from 0.01 to 0.07 foot-candles, significantly below the 0.5 foot-candle threshold established by municipal standards.
While the lighting system is part of a DSA-approved project that must adhere to specific state safety and energy requirements—and is subject to existing builder contracts—the District has identified limited operational areas for adjustment. We are currently evaluating a one-month trial adjustment using a Wattstopper control system. During this trial, select second-floor exterior lighting will be turned off between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
This trial period will allow the District to monitor the impacts on campus safety, security, and deterring unauthorized activity on an active construction site. We remain committed to balancing our community's feedback with the essential safety and operational needs of our schools.

Our Village community has once again shown what we can accomplish when we come together with purpose and heart. During the month of November, our school took on the challenge of raising funds to support Second Harvest Silicon Valley, setting an initial goal to provide 5,000 meals to local families. Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of our students, families, and staff, we didn’t just meet our goal - we more than doubled it!
In total, we raised enough funds to provide 12,890 meals to individuals and families in our community. This incredible achievement reflects the spirit of compassion, leadership, and community that defines our school.
Students helped champion the effort by making posters and raising money in creative ways such as holding their own yard sales and lemonade stands and doing extra chores to earn money at home. Families and staff contributed through donations, encouragement, and partnership. Every gift, large or small, helped us build momentum and make a meaningful impact. Second Harvest was so impressed with our students that they invited us to be a part of a special news segment featuring community giving that will be airing later in December - look for us on KPIX Channel 5!
We are deeply grateful for the kindness and commitment of everyone who participated. Your contributions ensure that thousands of our neighbors will have access to nutritious meals, and your support models the power of giving for our students.
Thank you for helping us turn our fundraiser into something truly extraordinary. Together, we made a difference!

On September 27th, the Village community came together to celebrate our 30th Anniversary! The campus was filled with laughter, music, and memories as current students, families, and staff joined alumni from across the years to honor three decades of learning, growth, and friendship.
The celebration featured incredible performances by Gina and the Tonics (featuring our own Teacher Gina) and Petrichor (featuring a Village alumni student), whose upbeat music set the perfect tone for the day. Guests enjoyed delicious food from a variety of food trucks, while children played and families reconnected in every corner of the school. It was wonderful to see familiar faces returning to share stories from years past, as well as to welcome new families who are now part of our ever-growing community.
Throughout the afternoon, old friends reminisced about favorite teachers, field trips, and school traditions, while new friendships were formed under the same spirit of togetherness that has always defined our school.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to make this event such a memorable success. Here’s to the next 30 years of learning, laughter, and community at Village School!

Fourth and fifth grade students brought history to life this week as they presented their wax museum to the school community. Both historic and contempory individuals were represented and included politicians, scientists, athletes and artists. The fourth and fifth graders honed their presentation skills as they shared their stories with many lower grade visitors. The younger students loved getting to see their big buddies in a new role. We all learned a lot about the individuals that were respresented!

Dear Families:
Yesterday, January 7, 2025, we were informed by PowerSchool, our Student Information System (SIS) platform, that they experienced an international cyber attack at the end of December. This afternoon, our data team was invited to a webinar by PowerSchool to learn more about the situation. We have confirmed that some of our data was accessed. Fortunately, the disclosed information did not include any students’ Social Security Numbers.
Essentially, the data accessed was the student's name, birthdate, address and similar information. The discernable data fields accessed can be found here.
In the webinar, PowerSchool shared their corrective actions and confidence that there is no further threat to the data.
While there is no indication that student passwords were compromised, we will supplement our daily monitoring system by providing students with new passwords in the next few days.
We have worked extensively to ensure security in our data systems, such as implementing a Multi-Factor Authentication process, geographic restrictions, suspicious login protections and other security measures. It is unfortunate that, in spite of these efforts, our data was accessed as part of the PowerSchool cyberattack. We will continue to work to ensure our data is secure and will ensure our Student Information System increases security protections.
PowerSchool is monitoring the situation, has engaged a cybersecurity remediation company to prevent future incidents, and will provide our staff with updates for our community. For questions related to PowerSchool’s security procedures, please visit PowerSchool’s website or email Security [at] PowerSchool.com.
