This Is Kind Cougar Country!

With the Santa Cruz Mountains as our backdrop, Capri Elementary School is home to >700 preschool to fifth grade students and their families in the Campbell Union School District. The Capri Learning Community is committed to both the academic and behavioral growth of all our members. We celebrate the rich diversity of our community. Our work at Capri is about always being mindful and reflective educators. We maintain a clear focus in everything we do and ensure that our students understand our objectives. We are focused and direct, aware of what our students' lives are like outside of school. On a daily basis, we implement purposeful and deliberate strategies aimed at the individual needs of our unique student population. We work to optimize human potential.


Capri Elementary School is dedicated to providing a positive learning environment for all students. We consistently teach our school wide expectations of respectful, responsible and safe. Kind Cougar Country is a safe, consistent and predictable environment that propels students to their highest potential.


A Stellar Year In Kind Cougar Country

As we wrap up our year together I want to take the opportunity to thank all members of our learning community for their commitment to each other and our students.

Capri is the sunny isle where we truly express and demonstrate kindness, responsibility and respect, fostering a safe learning environment for all students. This is a special school because of the families, students, and, of course, the staff that serve them. I have the privilege of working with all of you and am thankful for the opportunity.

Next year we will again ensure that all of our students are actively engaged in meaningful learning by providing differentiated instruction while continuing to promote the joys of discovery and learning in this remarkable school.


During The 2011-2012 School Year We Did The Following

  • Refined our implementation of Guided Language Acquisition Design (GLAD).
  • Used student social-behavioral and academic data to inform and facilitate teacher planning and instruction.
  • Expanded implementation of our “Island Time” (ExCEL) model of grouping students for 50 minutes each day to include 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades.
  • Implemented our English language instruction using Systematic ELD strategies during ELD cluster grouping which further increased student achievement.
  • Expanded our School Wide Positive Behavior and Intervention and Support (SWPBIS) approach to student social behavioral education and development.
  • Kept kids safe at school - bullying, teasing, harassing and labeling (discussed by our Assistant Principal, Ms. Friel during our first Coffee with the Principal held September 2, 2011).  Click here (Part 1) and here (Part 2) for a copy of this presentation.
  • Taught respectful communication (discussed by Ms. Friel during our first Coffee with the Principal held September 2, 2011).  Click here for a copy of this slide and here for Constructive Feedback with your kids.

Teacher Requests For Next School Year

When we create classes for the next school year we strive to create equity and balance in our classrooms. When making decisions, we use multiple measures, such as gender and both academic and behavior assessment data. All of our teaches are highly qualified and your child will be well served regardless of class placement. We are unable to grant specific teacher requests but do value your input regarding your child's strengths. Mrs. Linder, our school secretary, in the front office, will be collecting your notes. We take your input seriously and strive to meet your child's unique needs with every decision we make.


Sailing Off Our Sunny Isle - Learning Never Stops

As we depart the Sunny Isle of Capri for a summer break, responsible Cougars know that learning never stops. Responsible families continue to promote reading, limit T.V. and video games, spend time out doors and continually talk to each other about the wonders all around. An adult’s greatest gift can be as simple as time, creating opportunities for children to make new discoveries and providing the vocabulary for students to express their new found wonders. When in the car, turn off the stereo and talk about the sights around. Go for a walk on the beach or around the block. Enjoy the summer break and we’ll see you back on the Sunny Isle of Capri on Monday, August 20, 2012.
