This year, RCSD saw gains in several areas that reflect the district’s commitment to strong instruction, equitable supports, and a welcoming school environment.

Redwood City School District (RCSD) students are showing seady improvement in reading and mathematics, according to new results from the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP).

During the October 16 Board Study Session, the Board of Trustees presented three conceptual scenarios outlining possible approaches for implementing Measure S projects identified in the Facilities Master Plan (FMP). 

The presentation highlighted the deep partnership among RCSD, Stanford University’s Graduate School of Education’s John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Their Communities, and Stanford Psychiatry’s Center for Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing. Together, these partners have developed a model that strengthens school-based mental health systems, improves coordination of care, and ensures that students and families have equitable access to the support they need.

The 2025 ceremony highlighted the district’s commitment to fostering multilingual excellence and empowering students to reach their full potential.

Regular attendance sets students up for success, ensuring students stay on track in their courses and build the habits necessary for the rigor of high school and beyond. Even a few missed days can disrupt learning and make it harder for students to feel caught up and confident in class

This fall, we have been working with a district committee made up of parents, teachers, administrators, and union representatives to provide feedback and perspective on this important work. This process is about ensuring that, even as we make necessary budget reductions, our priorities remain centered on what matters most—supporting every student’s success.

This award recognizes RCSD’s trauma-informed, student-centered approach that helps students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. Counseling Services play an important role in meeting RCSD’s LCAP Goal One to Strengthen Social Emotional Support and School Climate by working to ensure that every student feels supported, safe, and connected at school.
