@SanMarcosUSD Alumni Jessie Way presented at the @SanDiegoCOE Equity Conference on Positive Affirming Practices for Neurodivergent Students. It was a packed room! #FutureReady #WeAreSMUSD
There are a lot of measures of how a district preforms. @SanMarcosUSD students and a site administrator were honored by @SanDiegoCOE with Lighthouse Awards for their working in making our district a welcoming place for each and every student. #WeAreSMUSD

Our AVID students demonstrated leadership skills by collecting over 2,500 food items for the Feeding San Diego food drive. Mrs Medina’s class came in guest place, followed closely by Ms.Saadia/Mr. Matters class!
What a lovely tradition and way to connect everyone across the campus.
Started a tradition of passing around a “really beautiful and very expensive” golden eagle to a colleague to show appreciation @ each weekly calendar meeting. This week Mrs Hernandez (attendance) passed it to Mrs Gutierrez (AP). APs are the backbone to every school! @SEMSEagles

Thank you to @SanMarcosRotary for hosting our @SEMSEagles future leaders and their families today celebrating their participation in LEAD camp. We appreciate your support of our student leaders! @AJohnsenSMUSD
This is #FutureReady thinking!
We ❤️ math tasks! So fun to work on @joboaler crackers task today. Since we used manipulatives it was easier to use the @Wipebook on the floor! It was hard to get them to stop once they got rolling @DoublePeak_K8 #iteachmath
Awesome opportunity to hear about how the “real world” landscape looks for our students after graduation. #FutureReady
#ICYMI In case you missed it: In the Superintendent's Newsletter we highlighted Future Ready Workshops for Parents, with the first English session taking place tomorrow night, 11/9!

Best part of every day is spending time with our students and getting to know more about who they are, what they enjoy, and what motivates them. Today I learned that lunch trips to the town square for winning the Wiffle Ball Tournament is VERY fun! @SEMSEagles

ALT An image shows a pumpkin in a reddish-lit display with the letters JPL carved into it. The pumpkin has the top portion removed. A reddish light glows from inside the pumpkin, and along the top opening are samples of rocks and other materials in clear tubes. The background shows white, thick cotton spiderwebs and more of the reddish lights.
Celebrating the amazingly talented science @SanMarcosUSD educator @SamanthaStickl3 who is one of three finalists in CA for PAEMST! Sam’s dedication to providing an unparalleled educational experience is awe inspiring! We are so proud of you Sam! #WeAreSMUSD
Incredible night! @ResilientWalker was our first in a four part speaker series about the Power of our Stories. @SanMarcosUSD staff, students & board members were treated to an amazing presentation & dynamic gumbo prepared by the Mission Hills Culinary Arts Program. #WeAreSMUSD
Secondary students across @SanMarcosUSD are meeting with @SanDiegoCOE to talk about all the things that make them who they are. This is part of our year long equity work. #WeAreSMUSD #FutureReady
