Summer Meals and Food Assistance

San Carlos School District wants to ensure that all students have access to nutritious meals and other food assistance during the summer months when school is not in session. We encourage families to consider the following resources available in San Mateo County.


Seamless Summer Option and Summer Food Service Program are two programs that provide meals without charge to all children ages 18 and under, regardless of income level, prior qualification, or district of residence. The following organizations are offering free breakfast and lunch this summer. Visit our School Lunch page for more information.

Message from Our Principal

We offer a range of elective classes providing both support and enrichment opportunities for students.  After a major remodel and addition completed during the 2014-2015 school year, our students moved into a brand new building designed with innovative learning spaces that encourage community building, flexible groupings and blended learning.  Approximately 555 sixth through eighth grade students are enrolled during the 2017-18 school year, with classes arranged on a modified block schedule with a traditional calendar.  We share our campus with Arroyo School (a 4/5 upper elementary school), which opened in the fall of 2016.
