In Campbell USD, our core values—We are Learners, We are Collaborators, We are Community Builders—guide us in making our district a vibrant place for everyone to learn and grow. This year, we introduced the Campbell Kudos program as a way for employees to recognize each other for living out these values. 

Please join us in celebrating our many Community Builders, employees who foster a positive and inclusive learning environment for our students and staff .

Grinch
 
Grinch-Inspired Artwork: Spreading Holiday Cheer
In case you haven't noticed the Grinch has taken over the office! Our talented students have been busy creating their own unique versions of the Grinch, capturing his transformation from mischief-maker to holiday hero! These vibrant drawings showcase the Grinch's journey of redemption, reminding us that even the coldest hearts can be warmed by kindness, love, and community. The Grinch's story teaches us the true meaning of the holiday season– it's not about presents or decorations, but about coming together and sharing joy with others. We’re so proud of our students for bringing this message to life through their wonderful artwork!

Pedestrian Crossing


School Traffic Safety: Protecting Our Kids and Neighbors
It’s crucial to prioritize traffic safety for our students and neighbors.
With busy mornings and afternoons, the roads around our school can become hectic. Let’s work together to ensure everyone stays safe!
Please remember to drive slowly and watch for children crossing the street. Use designated drop-off and pick-up zones, and encourage kids to use crosswalks.
We also ask parents and guardians to set a good example by practicing safe walking and biking habits. Together, we can create a safer environment for our children and foster positive relationships within our community.
Let’s keep our roads safe and our neighborhoods thriving!
Want to report unsafe driving or traffic violations on the city streets near school? Please report them to the City of San Jose at (408) 277-8900.
Want to request a speed monitor from the City of San Jose? Please contact them at (408) 535-3850. 
Please see link below to submit a Traffic Enforcement Request.

How to Become A Volunteer
Throughout the school year there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved. Parents and guardians are encouraged to volunteer. However, safety and security is a top priority.
Please see information and links below on how to become a volunteer!
Option 1 (Recommended)
Volunteer packet with LIVESCAN FORM (fingerprints required) is for volunteers who will be alone with students. (field trips, where they will be alone with children and no staff overseeing them, support with small groups in an area which is not supervised by a staff member, yard duty etc.)
Option 2
Volunteer packet NO LIVESCAN (no fingerprint clearance required) are for all volunteers which will be under supervision by a staff member at all times, for example, small groups within the classroom under teacher supervision, reading in the classroom, any type or volunteering where they will be overseen by staff.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the winter break, we want to take a moment to wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season. This is a special time of year, and we hope it brings you opportunities to create happy memories together.

We also want to express our gratitude for your ongoing partnership in your child’s education. We greatly appreciate all of your efforts in ensuring your child has attended school as much as possible so far this year.

We understand that families sometimes wish to extend their time together by planning vacations that last longer than the dates assigned to the school break. While we fully appreciate the value of family time, we want to encourage you to limit trips and vacations to the days indicated on the school calendar for the break. By doing so, you help your child stay on track academically and ensure they don’t miss out on valuable learning opportunities.

Thank you for being mindful of this and for continuing to prioritize your child’s attendance and education. 

Wishing you a safe and happy winter break, and we look forward to seeing everyone refreshed and ready to learn in the new year!

Warm regards,

Dr. Shelly Viramontez
Superintendent

Second Grade Classroom Mission Statements

Lynhaven teachers are elevating student voice through student-drafted mission statements in each classroom

Handprint

This year, as part of our Continous Improvement efforts at the school level, teachers are asking students what is important to them in their classroom community. Students' voices are then captured as a classroom mission statement. Each mission statement is different because it reflects the classroom community that created it. 


Classroom Mission Statements support Continous improvement by reminding us

Who are we? What do we value?

 and by defining 

How will we work together? 

What do we want to accomplish? What are our goals?


 We will feature different mission statements throughout this school year. 

These Classroom Mission Statements are from our Second Grade Classes.
