Welcome to the start of a Great Adventure!

Let's make it easy.

​

Starting Elementary School (whether at 4 in Tk or 5 in Kindergarten) is a welcoming, exciting way to create a lifelong love of learning. To help make it manageable, Santa Cruz City Schools hosts an Elementary School Preview Q&A Webinar every year!


And if you scroll down, you can find more information on our specific schools and videos outlining different aspects of student life in Elementary school!

In the recorded webinar, we cover:

  • The importance of Every Child being Known

  • The impact of Hands-On Learning

  • How we deliver Customized Instruction

  • How development goes Beyond the Classroom

  • How we support our Credentialed Teachers

  • Enrichments like Music, Art, Life Lab Gardens & After School Programs

  • How we support every Whole Child in development, Emotional & Mental Health

  • How we ensure All Are Welcome

  • School Safety Overview
