National School Counseling Week (February 2–6) is a special time to recognize and celebrate the incredible impact our school counselors have on students, families, and school communities every single day. This week highlights the essential role counselors play in supporting students’ academic success, social-emotional well-being, and future planning.

Our counselors do so much more than many people realize—listening, guiding, advocating, and helping students navigate challenges while discovering their strengths and possibilities. We are deeply grateful for their compassion, expertise, and unwavering commitment to helping every student thrive. This week, and always, we celebrate and thank our school counselors for the difference they make.💜

Now Enrolling for the 2026–27 School Year!

Did you know? San Carlos School District offers a variety of preschool options so families can choose the program that best fits their needs.

We offer early learning preschool classes on all elementary campuses — Arundel, Brittan Acres, Heather, and White Oaks. It’s a wonderful way for children and families to connect with their future school community and begin building friendships early.

🌟 State-funded preschool spots are available now at Arundel and are FREE for eligible families. Many families qualify — for example, a family of four earning up to $127,338 per year may be eligible. Our team is happy to help determine eligibility.

At San Carlos Early Learning () children thrive in a warm, nurturing environment that fosters curiosity, social development, and school readiness — building a strong foundation for UTK, Kindergarten, and beyond.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved alumna, Ola. Her warmth, kindness, and joyful spirit touched all who had the privilege of knowing her. Ola attended Heather when she and her family first arrived from Ukraine three years ago, and her mother is a valued member of our staff.

We extend our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones during this difficult time. You may read more about Ola’s life and legacy here.

Heather community would like to support the Rozhko family during their time of grief.
