Measure L Construction Update 9.16.2026

Work continues to move forward across several areas of campus as part of our Measure L improvements. As construction activity increases, we recognize the temporary adjustments and disruptions this work can create for students, teachers, staff and families, and we appreciate everyone’s continued flexibility.
Drive For Schools

Drive for Schools Fundraiser is Happening Now!

September 14th- October 18th
We are holding a fundraiser with other Santa Cruz County school organizations, the annual Drive for Schools fundraiser.  Drive for Schools is a wonderful county-wide fundraiser from the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.  100% of the ticket sales go directly to our school. Tickets and further information will be sent home in student folders. This is an easy way to contribute to our school with the possibility of you winning some amazing prizes, including a $25,000 cash prize, adventures, dining and retail prizes.

Our Community's Investment Coming to Life

With our plan approvals now in hand, the next phase of modernization is moving forward. Because the approval process took longer than anticipated, construction will overlap with the school year as we work to maintain the project schedule and complete as much work as possible before winter. Please see the attached document for more details about the exciting changes coming.

After School Band

After-school band is for 4th-6th grade students who are interested in working
together to create, arrange, and perform their own music. We will
follow the interests of the group in developing material. The
emphasis in this project, like in any band, is working together:
sharing ideas and engaging in the creative process as a group.
It’s ok if you don’t already have much experience playing an
instrument. If you have the interest and want to contribute, we
have room for you in the band!
Please see the flyer for details.

After School Art Class

This 10-week (9/9-11/11) art class aims to provide a creative space for 2nd-6th graders through engagement with various mixed media including collage, watercolor, colored pencil, pastel, and acrylic. Children are encouraged to bring their own ideas and interests. Instruction around drawing animals, landscapes, and portraits will be provided. We will draw inspiration from artists such as Rosina Wachtmeister, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Keith Haring, Pablo Picasso, & Vincent van Gogh. If you are interested in applying, please complete the following application form by 5 pm on Wednesday, September 2, 2026.
Warmly, Ursula
