News & Announcements

Looking for a nurturing, engaging preschool program for your 2- or 3-year-old? San Carlos School District’s Early Learning Preschool Program is enrolling for next year!

Our play-based early learning programs help young children build confidence, friendships, independence, and the foundational skills they need for a successful transition to school.

We offer preschool programs at all four SCSD elementary campuses — Arundel, Brittan Acres, Heather, and White Oaks — with several program options to fit the needs of our families. Attending preschool on an elementary campus is also a wonderful way for children and families to become part of their future school community and start building friendships early.

FREE Preschool May Be Available!
State-funded preschool spaces are currently available at Arundel Elementary School for eligible families. For example, a family of four earning up to $127,338 annually may qualify for FREE preschool — and our team can help you determine your eligibility.

Tours start THIS WEEK! Sign up HERE

Early Learning Literacy Night - A Parent Zoom Session

November 10 from 5:30-6:30 pm

The San Carlos School Board placed Measure K on the November 3rd ballot. The cost to local property owners could be $489 a year or $40.75 a month. State funding alone is unable to provide SCSD with sufficient funds to maintain the district’s high-quality education.

Measure K could support the people and programs that directly serve students, including:
• Teachers and staff
• Core academic programs
• Student support services
• High-quality educational programs and learning opportunities
• Maintaining strong instruction across our schools

Parcel Taxes = People + Programs

Learn more about how local funding supports San Carlos schools and the upcoming Measure K Parcel Tax.
