New ideas. New concepts. New skills.

Elementary school is where students begin to explore core subjects and discover new interests and skills that they may develop later in middle school. Our teachers provide strong core academic instruction through their broad knowledge of the subject matter, standards-based curriculum, and creative lesson design. 

Kindergarten is for children who will be five years old on or before September 1. Instruction in kindergarten is focused on developing foundational skills that prepare students for success in all content areas and sets the foundation for building skills that lead to success throughout the child’s school years. Students build skills in literacy and oral language comprehension, vocabulary, alphabet knowledge, phonological awareness, and print knowledge.

A world of information is at your fingertips in the Knowledge Center. In the Knowledge Center,  students can find support for their research needs and discover the joy of reading both fiction and non-fiction stories. Mrs. Weinstein is the library clerk at Marshall Lane who loves to read, listen to, and talk about books.  Mrs. Weinstein can be contacted at x4457 or by e-mail - eweinstein [at] campbellusd.org. Welcome back to another great year of reading!

This room is a hub of activity for the school and the community. By day it is where students gather for lunch, activities, educational assemblies and more. After school hours, it is a-buzz with school and community activities such as recreational and team sports, community meetings and school drama productions.  

Music energizes and enlivens learning.

Students spend a lot of time in classrooms at school but getting outside and being active is just as important. Physical Education is mandated by the State of California. Students in elementary school are required to have 200 minutes of Physical Education every 10 days. Physical education is a combination of structured activities and lessons on nutrition and healthy living. Depending on the teacher or the provider, students participate in a variety of sports, dancing, calisthenics, and other activities to get them up and moving. 

Our high-quality toddler and preschool programs prepare children for successful educational journeys. We provide positive learning experiences that are engaging and enjoyable, allowing children to make choices and explore as they build confidence and competence that prepares them for Kindergarten and beyond. Both fee-based and subsidized programs are available, year round, with part-time or full-time options.

Enrichment opportunities that develop the whole student, providing knowledge and context for the world around them. Students will participate in various programs during their time. They’re also encouraged to participate in a variety of after-school activities.
