Students Explore Identity Through Project-Based Learning
Students at Lead Elementary are diving into Project-Based Learning (PBL), integrating English Language Development, English Language Arts, and Social Studies into one creative unit. Through hands-on activities that explore the five senses and identity, students are building vocabulary, writing original poems, and sharing their stories in both English and their home languages.
Project-Based Learning
SMFCSD educators are bringing Project-Based Learning into classrooms after summer training at PBL World, sparking curiosity, collaboration, and student voice across our schools.
Shaping the Future of Education in Our Community
Through a multi-phase visioning process, we are engaging students, families, staff, and community partners to co-create a shared vision and roadmap for our 2027–2032 Community Strategic Plan — built through collaboration and open to all who wish to take part.
Facilities Master Plan for the New Decade
This comprehensive roadmap guides our modernization efforts to create safer, healthier learning environments for the next decade.
Partnership Powers Career Dreams
Thanks to a $500,000 grant from the Gilead Foundation, and in partnership with the SMFC Education Foundation, SMFCSD is launching Project Career Map — a new initiative inspiring 5th–8th grade students through hands-on STEM career exploration.
