Forager Species 4 STEAM Workshop Series with Edward Martinez III

New Art/STEM Class at the 418 Project in Santa Cruz

Please note that this class is off campus and not affiliated with our school.

Forage IV is a four-part art project where students will work together to create a large sculpture that hangs in the lobby of the 418 project. Each day, we’ll build the sculpture, shape the fish, and learn about how small fish, called forage fish, help other fish and ocean animals survive.

Through a STEAM approach, we’ll combine Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math to explore ocean life, solve creative challenges, and bring our ideas to life through art. When the sculpture is finished, students will talk about what they learned, the discoveries they made, and what they’ll remember most from the experience.

Notification of Statewide Student Data Security Incident

We are writing to share important information about a recent data security incident involving Educational Testing Service (ETS), an organization contracted by the California Department of Education (CDE) to support statewide student assessments, including CAASPP and ELPAC.

On September 25, 2026, ETS discovered unauthorized activity involving a secure file transfer system containing student information. On October 16, CDE shared findings from its investigation with school districts, confirming that an unauthorized party had used compromised login credentials to access and copy files containing California student data between May 22 and September 18, 2026. Please continue reading for more important information.

Measure L Construction Update

As Measure L improvements continue, we are preparing for the next phase of concrete and walkway construction on the upper campus. This work will bring temporary changes to classroom access, pedestrian pathways and parking, particularly near our kindergarten and first-grade classrooms.

Measure L Construction Update, Oct. 7, 2026

Measure L improvements continue to take shape across campus, with work progressing both outdoors and inside several classroom buildings. As crews move through different areas of campus, the project team continues to coordinate closely with school staff to maintain safe access and minimize impacts to students and staff.
