Biomedical Science students in Ms. DeLong’s class are putting the Graduate Profile into action with a real-world crime investigation. 🔍

The investigation challenges students to apply all five facets of the profile: Leader, Learner, Individual, Communicator, and Thinker.

Great public schools are built by a community that believes in investing in students. 🌟

The El Segundo Education Foundation (Ed!) is a community-driven organization that supplements state funding for programs that inspire learning, enrich teaching, and promote academic excellence across the El Segundo Unified School District.

Since 1983, Ed! has invested more than $39 million in ESUSD. Today, 100% of students in El Segundo public schools benefit from Ed! funding.

Could humans someday make a home in outer space? 🚀

That is the question guiding 7th grade English students as they explore space settlement through art, writing, reading, speaking, and listening.

Students first studied space settlement artwork before creating their own visions of life beyond Earth and explaining the ideas behind their designs. Now, they are connecting those ideas to Ray Bradbury’s "Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed" through a radio play.

It is creative, cross-disciplinary learning that challenges students to think critically about big questions. 📚

Richmond Street School students are spreading their BEST wings this year! 🦋

During schoolwide assemblies, students reviewed the expectations that help make RSS a positive place to learn and grow:

⭐️ Be Responsible
⭐️ Encourage Kindness
⭐️ Stay Safe
⭐️ Treat Others with Respect

Students then put their knowledge to the test with a fun game. RSS students are off to a great start! 💙

Second grade students at Center Street are making the most of small group instruction, with focused opportunities to practice skills, ask questions, and learn alongside their classmates. 📚

Don’t forget! Center Street School and Richmond Street School are hosting Back to School Nights tonight (September 17).

CSS families are invited to join us at 5:00pm, and RSS families are invited to join us at 5:30pm.

We look forward to welcoming our families and kicking off a great school year together! 🙌
