In Campbell Union School District, we’re committed to creating safe, engaging, and high-quality learning environments for all students—and that means listening to our community.

Recently, our families, staff, and students shared valuable feedback through our annual survey, conducted by Studer Education. Participation was greater than ever, and we thank everyone who participated. Today, we are sharing the district results with our community.

Sharing Site-level Results

Throughout April, schools and departments will share their individual results and next steps during regularly scheduled meetings. In May, we’ll work together to set goals and take action based on what we’ve learned.

Your input helps shape our continuous improvement efforts. Thank you for working with us.

We’re proud to announce that Capri and Forest Hill Elementary Schools have been named 2025 California Distinguished Schools—the state’s highest recognition for public schools! This is a first-time honor for Capri.

The award highlights the strong academic growth, supportive environments, and dedication to student success at both schools.

“This recognition reflects the hard work and passion for learning of our teachers, staff, students and families,” said Superintendent Shelly Viramontez.  “While we know all of our staff are working hard to provide our students with high quality learning, it is gratifying when our schools are publicly recognized for their hard work.” 

Both schools will be celebrated at a district event on May 22nd, and at a statewide awards ceremony on May 30th. Congratulations to the Capri and Forest Hill communities!

New Chromebook Use Policy to Support Student Health

District to Limit Late Night Student Chromebook Access This Friday

Starting this Friday, March 28, Campbell Union School District will limit late-night access to school-issued Chromebooks for students. Devices will be automatically shut down from 9:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. each night.

“We are seeing a lot of late-night Chromebook use on our student devices,” said Superintendent Shelly Viramontez. “That doesn’t support our students getting a good night’s rest to be ready for learning.”

Health experts emphasize that getting enough sleep is essential for adolescent mental health and brain development. Research shows that improving sleep habits can reduce daytime fatigue and lead to better academic performance and behavior.

“By shutting the devices down at night, we hope to encourage healthier sleep routines while still giving students time to complete their homework,” Viramontez added.
