From our preschools to our middle schools, in classrooms and campus-wide, many dedicated people give their all to ensure a quality school experience for Campbell Union School District's students. That dedication has earned some of these impressive people district and regional distinctions.

District-level award winners are Teacher of the Year Amy Vanderbosch of Rolling Hills Middle School (left), Volunteer of the Year Gledy Gomez of Monroe Middle (center), and District Classified Employee of the Year Sergio Flores of the Student Information Department (right).

Tiffany Bui (center), who works at Sherman Oaks preschool, also is a District Classified Employee of the Year, and she was chosen to represent Santa Clara county in the state-level program.

Student Services Director Rosanna Palomo, Dean of Students Pablo Vramontes, and ELD Coordinator Denise Kilpatrick each earned Administrator of the Year awards from the Association of California School Administrators.

Community Celebrates 40th Annual Writing Faire

Updated Fri, Aug 9th

The Campbell Library was a-buzz as 300 people—students, families, teachers and principals—came out for Campbell Union School District’s 40th annual Writing Faire. The event features displays of student writing and celebrates literacy expression in its many forms.

Families clustered around the library stacks to read the stories, poems and reports as their students excitedly explained their work to them.

Adding to the excitement was a drawing for prizes donated by Assistance League Los Gatos-Saratoga, Office Depot, and others, cookies from the Friends of the Campbell Library, and a green-screen photo booth to commemorate the anniversary.

A Message from the Superintendent - 4/25/18

Updated Fri, Aug 9th

Dear Rolling Hills Community:

As we approach the final months of the school year, we also begin planning for next year. In 2018-19, there will be some changes in Rolling Hills Middle School’s administrative team. Principal Cynthia Dodd will be returning to the classroom and is excited by the opportunity to have a positive impact on students’ learning and school experience. As RHMS principal for 6 years, she has proven to be a strong community builder, and she prides herself in her relentless advocacy for students.

Stepping into the RHMS principal position next school year will be Ted Cribari, the current Campbell Middle School administrator. He will be working with the current administrators, Kristen Prindle and Steven Fisher.

Mr. Cribari has a wide range of experience in elementary and middle school education. Since joining our district in 1996, he has been an award-winning teacher, teacher coach and administrator and is known as a strong team builder. He has recently gained a wealth of knowledge about applying design thinking to K-8 education as a member of the new Campbell School of Innovation Design Team. He is looking forward to joining the RHMS family.

In our district, we believe in a strengths-based approach and that applies to our staff as well. The strengths of this administrative team will provide a smooth transition for the RHMS students and staff and enable RHMS to continue to make great academic strides as we prepare our students for their yet-to-be-defined future.

Sincerely, 
Shelly Viramontez, Ed.D. 
Superintendent

Results of Community Conversation Announced

Updated Fri, Aug 9th

Input from parents, staff and other community members is very important to us in Campbell Union School District. Working closely with our community is essential to ensuring that the needs of all students are met.

In January, we added ThoughtExchange—a new, online way for our community to engage and communicate with us about our district and schools. See the results here.

The response rate for this first-time, online forum was high, with more than 1,600 people generating and rating more than 2,700 thoughts, ideas, and questions for us. Results from this and future ThoughtExchanges will inform our goals and decisions for the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), our Profile of a Graduate, and other initiatives aimed at providing an education beyond the expected.

Thank you for engaging in this new way to converse with us.

Board Passes School Safety Resolution

Updated Fri, Aug 9th

crowd in shape of two hands. Safe Students. Safe Schools.

At their March 29 meeting, the elementary school district trustees passed Resolution 2017-18-25 calling on state and federal legislators to do more to bolster funding for services that support students’ mental, physical and emotional health and protect students from gun violence.

“Gun violence on school campuses, while relatively rare, represents a particularly egregious and unacceptable threat to the lives of students, teachers, and staff across the country,” the resolution states.

Prompted by the February 2018 mass shooting at a Florida high school, the resolution cites data about bullying, harassment, and student access to guns, and it asserts students’ and staff’s rights to safety at school.

The resolution also requests for adequate funding to support students social and emotional needs in addition to their academic achievement.

“Our District partners with community health services to help students and families who need support with social-emotional and other non-instructional issues,” said Superintendent Shelly Viramontez. “The costs of educating and supporting students have been rising faster than state and federal funding, making it difficult to provide services that allow our teachers to teach while students get support for their social-emotional well-being.”

A copy of the full resolution is available on the district’s website.
