7th Grade Parents, and all others interested - We have an opportunity for you to see what your 8th grader will be working on next year, the 8th grade Exhibition Project. 

Campbell Union School District has a promotion requirement for all 8th grade students exiting our schools: the Eighth Grade Exhibition project. Exhibition is an opportunity for students to demonstrate – in front of their community – their academic growth and achievements as they prepare to graduate from middle school.

Students have selected topics about which they are passionate, researched the subject, planned and completed a project in relation, and are now ready to present the accumulation of this work to a panel of judges.

We need volunteer panelists to listen to the students’ presentations and evaluate their presentation.

It’s easy!

The students have done the work. All they need is for you to listen to and evaluate their presentations. We’ll provide all instructions and materials and even cater your lunch!

If you have the morning and/or afternoon of Thursday, May 24 available and would like to be involved as a judge, please email with your preferred time (morning or afternoon) to kspicer [at] campbellusd.org.

Some guidelines for testing this year:
  • Please be sure your child has a good night’s sleep
  • Make sure you child has breakfast & is well hydrated
  • Arrive to school on time
  • Please try to avoid appointments
  • Refer to the testing calendar online for testing dates & times
  • Students are allowed to use their personal earbuds from home (Yay!)
Electronics must be powered off and in a separate location from your student and their test. We would like to encourage you to have your child keep their Apple/smart watch and phones at home. They will be required to place them in their backpacks. They may not be in their pockets, or on their person during the test. These statewide guidelines are included in our testing protocol.
Thank you for partnering with us regarding your child’s education,

Safety & Communication!
Please remember that your children are still children - even though they seem so mature at times.   Remind them to follow the laws when biking to school - always wear a helmet, ride at a safe speed and in the same direction as traffic,  cross legally (not in the middle of the street).

Also, remember that your children still need you in their lives. While they might roll their eyes and say “nothing” when you ask what they did at school today, they really do have things to share with you. Ask them who they’re hanging out with at school & where they go after school. Ask if they had a group project in their class, and who was in their group. You’ll find they might initially be reluctant to talk about the social aspects of their day, but that’s where a large part of their focus is at this age. The important part of including yourself in their lives is listening and not always judging- which is difficult but necessary.

Good communication is what creates a strong supportive environment for everyone.

Have a wonderful Spring Break!
