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.
Don't miss this Saturday morning event where parents and family members can:

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.
Click on the Board Meeting News e-flyer link to see a summary of August 2017 Governing Board presentations about District progress with creating a new school for TK-8th graders and about meeting our strategic goals.

In Week 1 teams of students made water-propelled rockets from soda bottles to help them learn about velocity, drag, rotation, direction of travel and more as part of a 5-week STEM program that could result in seeing their project compete aboard the International Space Station. A crew from National Geographic was on hand to capture the story for a documentary.
The curriculum introduces students to computer programming, robotics, and space engineering, and provides hands-on experience with programming SPHERES (Synchronized, Position, Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites).
The ZR Middle School Summer Program is provided through a partnership between the MIT Space Systems Lab, the Innovation Learning Center, and Aurora Flight Sciences and is sponsored by NASA, the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), and the Northrup Grumman Foundation. Our district qualified for the opportunity to participate thanks to the grant-funded After School Education Safety (ASES) program operated by our CUSD Extensions Department.
More CUSD summer camp information is avialable online at campbellusd.org/summer or by contacting the CUSD Extensions office at 408-341-7283.

Details about these topics are available in English and Spanish in the June 1, 2017 edition of Board Meeting News.
The next Board meeting will be held June 22nd. The agenda is available online.
For some children and teens, summer can mean an unwanted vacation from the regular meals they received at school. Fortunately, children in Santa Clara County, ages 18 and younger, can receive free meals during the summer at multiple locations.
Various programs are in place throughout the county to help children, who rely on free or reduced-price school meals, to receive meals when school is out.
Two Campbell Union School District schools will serve meals beginning June 26 and ending July 14.
Children in Campbell also can go to:
There are many more locations in Santa Clara County. Families can find a meal site in their area through web searches for USDA Summer Food and the Hunger Hotline, or by phoning the National Hunger Hotline at: 1-866-3HUNGRY (1-866-348-6479) or 1-877-8HAMBRE (1-877-842-6273).
Sponsored by School Linked Services and the Measure A grant, the event will feature food, and fun activities like Derby Car Engineering, projects in Art and Science, and more.
There also will be a special workshop with award-winning author Carmela Dutra, and each family can take home a STEAM Kit to use this summer.
The community is invited to the District's second Community Input Forum to provide feedback on short- and long-term decisions relating to creating our new school on the Campbell Middle School site. The meeting will be held Monday, June 12, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m., at Campbell Middle School.
The District is seeking ideas and suggestions about elements of the Transformation Team's recommendation, which includes which grades will be enrolled in the school's first few years, the theme for the school, site plans, and more.
Students, families, employees, neighbors—all those who have an interest in development of the school—are welcome.
