Upcoming Events

Our New Building Has Opened

We are enjoying our new building

We recently celebrated a successful and exciting day as some of our students officially began learning in our new school building! The transition was smooth, and the energy on campus was filled with curiosity, pride, and enthusiasm.

Students who moved into the new building were eager to explore their new classrooms and learning spaces. Teachers took time to help students get familiar with their surroundings, creating a welcoming and supportive environment from the very start. The bright, modern classrooms and updated spaces quickly helped students feel comfortable and ready to learn.

Throughout the day, instruction continued seamlessly. Students stayed engaged in lessons, participated in collaborative activities, and demonstrated flexibility as they adjusted to their new surroundings. It was wonderful to see how responsibly they navigated the new stairs and spaces.

Meanwhile, the rest of our students continued their learning in their current classrooms, maintaining strong routines and a productive school day across the entire campus. Both groups of students showed adaptability and focus, making the day a success for everyone.

Staff worked together to ensure a smooth transition, prioritizing safety, organization, and student support every step of the way. Their teamwork and preparation made a noticeable difference in how well the day flowed.

We are incredibly proud of our students and staff for their positive attitudes and flexibility during this exciting transition. As more students gradually move into different spaces, we look forward to continuing this momentum and creating even more wonderful learning experiences.

Campbell's Innovation Keeps District Ahead of Policy Makers

With 11 new changes to California Education Code in 2026, Campbell Union School District is once again a front runner in innovation and policy.

We are proud to be a district of innovation and effective policies.  As a result, many of the laws impacting TK-8 districts were already in place in Campbell USD. 

The five laws affecting TK-8 schools and districts are: cell phone restrictions; Trevor Project suicide prevention hotline number on the back of student dentifaction cards (7th grade and up); gender-neutrual bathrooms; phasing out ultra-processed foods in school meals; and prohibiting school staff from allowing immigration officers on campus or sharing student/family information.

In August of 2024, students at Rolling Hills and Monroe Middle Schools and middle school students at Campbell School of Innovation (CSI) began implementing Yondr pouches. Sherman Oaks implemented a phone locker system. Eliminating cell phone use allows students to focus on school and socializing without the distraction of their phones. By requiring students to use only our devices, we can assure safe technology features and filters.

Our Child Nutrition Department has been scratch cooking, sourcing organic meats and produce and using local farms well before the legislators implemented the new requirement. We are also implementing sustainability efforts of reducing plastic, other waste and increasing composting.

The district’s policies and protocols were in place before the California legislators required limitations on releasing student or family information to Immigration Enforcement officials. If ICE officers come to one of our campuses, our staff are trained in implementing protections for our students and their families and will only work with immigration authorities when proper warrants are provided.   

The new law states that schools that have more than one restroom facility per gender must designate a gender-neutral restroom with proper signage. While we have this present at our schools.  There is a requirement that it be an externally facing door, our facilities team is working with those school sites to adjust the new entry requirement for gender-neutral restrooms. We expect to meet the requirement without any major impact on our school campuses. Similarly, for the addition of the Trevor Project suicide prevention hotline number, the district will work with the photography contractor that provides our student identification cards. 

Innovation is one of the many attributes that makes Campbell a great place to learn and a great place to work.

Sustainable Support: Ensuring Mental Health and SEL Remain at the Heart of CUSD

Campbell Union School District maximizes statewide initiative to make social emotional learning sustainable.

Knowing that social emotional learning (SEL) is a key component to school success, the Campbell Union School District (CUSD) is transitioning to a sustainable funding model for its "whole child" approach - including mental health services, wellness centers, and social-emotional learning (SEL) - by participating in the statewide Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI).  

Thanks to the California legislation adopting CYBHI, here is what you can anticipate:

  • No Impact on Insurance Coverage: CUSD’s ability to bill the insurance companies will not affect a family’s insurance benefits, premiums, or deductibles. By state law, insurers are prohibited from passing these costs on to families.

  • No Impact on Outside Care: Receiving services at school does not reduce or limit a student’s ability to see their own private doctors or specialists outside of school.
  • No Out-of-Pocket Costs: Families will never be charged co-pays or fees for these school-based services.
  • No Interruption of Services: This change is strictly about how the district pays for staff and resources; it will not reduce the quality or availability of the support students currently receive.
  • Sustainability: Instead of relying on temporary grants, CUSD will use a third-party agency to bill insurance for services already being provided on campus.
  • Privacy First: The district will collect insurance information annually, but this data is used strictly for billing. It is protected by HIPAA and FERPA privacy laws and will not be shared.
  • Universal Access: A student will never be denied services if they do not have insurance or if a family chooses not to provide their information.
