The latest announcements and news from the Salinas City Elementary School District.
2nd grade students from Kammann Elementary, led by leaders from Walk Smart - Ecology in Action, teach our students how to be safe while walking on our side walks, paying attention to sounds, and tips to listen and notify drivers while crossing the street. This is such valuable information for our children.

Claudia Chaidez, VP from Boronda Meadows was awarded the “District Administrator of the Year” Award, Troy Brunke was awarded “District Champion of the Year” Award and Sherwood Elementary was awarded the “Overall Sustainability of the Year” Award.

As Kindness Week concludes, and Pink Shirt Day finished with major success, Salinas City Elementary School (SCESD) would like to thank all who participated in our annual event. As a Golden Bell Winner in 2018, SCESD is committed to building the best PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) program in the County and State. Slowly, but surely, our students, staff, and administration are making a huge difference.
'Pink Shirt Day' is celebrated as Anti-Bullying Day where people wear a pink shirt to symbolize a stand against bullying. All fourteen schools within SCESD celebrate 'Pink Shirt Day'. This video showcases Roosevelt, University Park, and Monterey Park Elementary Schools celebrating their annual event.

This last Saturday, six schools from SCESD (El Gabilan, Laurel Wood, Loma Vista, Mission Park, Monterey Park, and Natividad) participated in the Lyceum Spelling Bee at San Benancio Middle School. We had most of our students move to the second round, but our students found the third round was the toughest. Clark Kent Apuada, student from Mission Park, ended up finishing 3rd Place overall!
Great job and big kudos to our students who did their best out there and their families who supported! Congratulations!
