Enrollment for 2016-2017 Begins in January

Updated Mon, Jan 25th

School registration begins January 19, 2016 for children entering Kindergarten or Transitional Kindergarten. Registered students are assigned to the school that serves the child’s home address. Parents may request a different school during the Open Enrollment period.*

  • Kindergarten Open Enrollment: Jan. 19–Feb.12, 2016.
  • Entering Middle School Open Enrollment: Feb. 1-12, 2016

Middle school starts with 5th grade in our district.  Parents of this year’s 4th graders need to participate in Open Enrollment* to indicate their preference for elementary or middle school placement.  Students now 5th grade (or 6th grade at Sherman Oaks) will be assigned to their resident middle school, but their parents may choose to request a specific school during Open Enrollment.

To help you get a feel for the school your child will attend, please plan to attend one or more of the tours listed below.

* Open Enrollment is an option only for CUSD residents whose students are entering kindergarten or middle school in 2016-17.

Join us for Walk-to-School Wednesdays!

Updated Mon, Jan 11th

Walking is a fun and healthy way to spend time with your child.

In Campbell Union School District, we encourage parents and students to walk or bike to school every Wednesday. For those who live too far, try parking farther away from the school and walking the last block or two.

Since children learn by doing, YOU are your child’s most important role model for learning to walk safely. As you walk, please:

  • Obey all traffic signs and signals.
  • Look LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT for moving cars, and cross when clear.
  • Time yourself. Practice this weekend to find out how much time to allow.
  • Check the weather and dress appropriately (boots, rain coat, umbrella, etc.).

As you walk, you can talk with your child about what you’re doing and explain why.

Student Assessment Reports

Updated Mon, Dec 7th

A Message from the Superintendent

Parents often ask me: “When will I find out the results of my child’s tests?”

Each year our teachers administer several assessments to determine student growth and inform their classroom teaching practice. These assessments—tests, quizzes, class projects, and the like—provide multiple ways to measure student progress towards learning the important concepts they need for success in school and in the community at-large.

Our assessment cycle includes dates we report results throughout the year. Also, our teachers are available to discuss student progress with the parents.

Assessment Reporting Schedule

iReady Testing Results

  • October at Parent-Teacher Conferences
  • Mid-November via student delivery
  • Early March via student delivery

Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) Distribution Cycle

  • Tentatively August/September 2016 via U.S. mail

Trimester Report Cards

    Middle School (sent via U.S. mail): Nov. 19, March 10, June 9      

    Elementary School (sent home with student): Nov. 20, March 18, June 8

Campbell Union School District employees value partnering with you to prepare our students for college and career success. Please continue to communicate with your child’s teacher(s) to stay informed and to ensure that we are all doing our best to provide each student with an optimal educational experience.
