A new phase of construction has started here at Capri.  You will see that a big portion of our campus is fenced off to keep everyone safe and away from the construction zone.  The gate from Village is locked, so Capri can only be accessed from the front gates.  Thank you for your patience during this time.

Parent feedback is an important factor for our decisions about your child's school experience.
That's why we're hoping all of our parents and guardians will participate in our annual survey.

P.S.
This video gives you a glimpse of the difference it makes!

Ms. Craig's 4th grade class enjoyed a virtual field trip to Sumeg Village (in the Northernmost coast of California 55 miles south of the Oregon border) through California State Parks PORTS programs. The children were engaged in our program this week where the park interpreter, Princess, took them around Sumeg and taught them about some of the traditions and customs of the Yurok that continue to this day.

District Prepares for 2025-26 Enrollment Changes
​
Chief Business Officer Bharathi Lakshmanan presented the latest enrollment projections and school capacity plans. The data shows enrollment will likely decline further in 2025-26 and 2026-27 due to demographic trends and lower birth rates. For 2025-26, the district anticipates 88 fewer students. Despite this decline, schools are ready to accommodate the additional transitional kindergarten (TK) classrooms required for the upcoming school year. See the presentation slides for details.
