This week we celebrate our fantastic classified employees who work directly with students and behind-the-scenes to make our schools and district outstanding. The week of May 20 is Classified School Employee Week where we honor the contributions, care and talents of our classified staff.  Our Board of Education, Superintendent and administration express gratitude to all of our SRCS classified staff for the great work you do on a daily basis to support our students, teachers and us all.

On May 9, San Rafael City Schools joins others across the state in celebrating the  California Day of the Teacher! This year’s theme - “California Teachers: The League of Extraordinary Educators” - captures how educators have many extraordinary skills that we pull from to reach and teach students. We are so proud and grateful for our SRCS team of extraordinary educators. 

On behalf of the Board of Education, Superintendent and administration, thank you to all of our SRCS educators for the great work you do on a daily basis to help our students succeed. 

Registration for Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten for the 2018-19 school year is underway in San Rafael City Schools. We have launched online registration for TK and K! Families can pre-enroll new students online, with information and proper documentation verified at the Courtesy Registration Day or the District’s Student Enrollment & Family Center.

San Rafael City Schools is gearing up for another year of reviewing and revising out Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)! We have two opportunities designed to engage parents and community members; we invite you to serve as a representative of your group and join our LCAP Parent Advisory Group (PAC) and/or LCAP Stakeholder Taskforce this year.

 
Please visit www.srcs.org/lcap for more information about the two groups and for a full meeting schedule. If you would like to participate or have any questions, please email communications@srcs.org or call 415-492-3576.

In light of the announcement that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program will end, we want to remind our entire community that San Rafael City Schools welcomes all students and families, regardless of their immigration status. Our "Dreamers" are vital contributors to our SRCS community. Click here to read a letter from the Superintendent. 

Furthermore, we are proud to share a joint statement regarding DACA from Marin County Superintendent of Schools Mary Jane Burke, Novato Unified School District Superintendent Jim Hogeboom and SRCS Superintendent Michael Watenpaugh. Click here to read the community message.

SRCS students continue to show growth in English language arts and math, according to results of statewide tests designed to gauge preparation for college and career. The state recently released results from the second year of the Smarter Balanced tests, part of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) system. The tests align with California’s new state standards and feature more questions that require short answers or extended response questions that require demonstration of a deeper understanding of key concepts.
