Welcome to the CUSD Community

How CUSD is leaning into our core values.

Here at Campbell Union School District, we work as a community to ensure that every student is educated to their highest potential. We do this by leaning into our values of we are learners; we are collaborators; and we are community builders. As learners, staff have spent the summer engaging in a variety of formal and informal professional development - enhancing knowledge and skill sets in the classrooms and operations of the District. 

As collaborators, staff has been reviewing survey data to make continual improvements to optimize the 2025-26 school year and beyond. Our custodial and maintenance staff have diligently worked together to make sure the school sites are cleaned, spruced up and ready to welcome our students. We have been working with our partners to complete construction and technology upgrades. All District departments and school sites are engaged in streamlining our systems.

Community building has spanned from partnerships with local agencies and community partners to building welcoming, inclusive environments where our community feels seen and heard.

As we head into the 2025-26 school year, we invite you to partner with us as learners, collaborators, and community builders. We welcome you and look forward to the growth and progress we will make together on behalf of our students.

Re-establishing Healthy School Habits

The beginning of a new school year is an excellent to re-establish healthy school habits.

Back-to-school time is an excellent opportunity to establish healthy habits such as a fixed bedtime routine, eating breakfast, and staying up-to-date on  health checks with your pediatrician and dentist. Having healthy established routines has an impact on student attendance and consistent attendance is directly correlated to student success in school - both academically and socially.

For further information on establishing healthy habits, please read the following articles:

Additionally, to better understand why attendance is important, Campbell Union School District has put together the following videos:

We look forward to building community with you and having a successful school year.

Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year

We are so excited to see you!

Dear Capri Families,  

Our Capri staff looks forward to seeing you all on Wednesday, August 20th, the first day of school.

Class Assignments

Class lists will be sent to our families through ParentSquare by 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 19.  Your child will only be identified by his/her CUSD ID number and not by name.  To balance class enrollment, further class changes might need to be made after the school year begins.  However, we will do our best to keep any changes to a minimum.  Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation regarding this matter.

Construction Update

We’re excited to share that great progress is being made on our campus transformation! The two-story classroom buildings have been placed, campus-wide electrical upgrades are well underway, new fire alarms have been installed, and a new phone system is in the process of completion.

While we’ve made significant strides, there’s still much work ahead as we prepare for a tentative opening of the new buildings in February. In the meantime, you’ll notice continued construction fencing around campus to maintain safety. Additionally, our grass field will be closed while new irrigation systems are installed and fresh grass is planted.

We truly appreciate your ongoing flexibility and understanding as we work to create an even better learning environment for our students.

Capri Communication

CUSD uses ParentSquare as a primary tool to communicate with families.  The bulk of our information will be sent on Thursdays.  Pressing information may come at other times of the week as needed.  Information will go directly to the email address we have on file. There is an option to download the ParentSquare app on your cell phone.  

Traffic and Safety

To ensure the safety of our students and families, please follow these guidelines during daily drop-off and pick-up times:

  • If possible, avoid driving to school.   If you must drive, please park safely in the neighborhood and walk the short distance to school.  Please do not block neighborhood driveways.

  • The circular driveway in front of the school is for drop-off and pick-up only.  Enter from the west end, and exit from the east end of the driveway---always pulling to the forward-most position.  The right lane is for curbside loading and unloading of passengers, and the left lane is for drive-through traffic only.  Parking is not allowed in the circular driveway.

  • Do not block or park in the Red Zone. This includes our bus zone in front of the preschool playground.

As you review the dismissal times for both regular and shortened days, please keep the following in mind:

  • Campus opens at 7:50 a.m. daily.

  • Instruction begins promptly at 8:00 a.m.

  • Students should not arrive before 7:50 a.m., as there is no supervision available before that time.

  • Campus closes immediately following dismissal, which is at 2:22 p.m. on regular days and 1:22 p.m. on Wednesdays

  • Please make sure that your child is picked up promptly

Capri Handbook: The entire handbook is available online at Capri’s website: https://capri.campbellusd.org/. You may also ask for a physical copy in the front office.  

We are looking forward to a wonderful year!
