🍎 Like mother, like teacher. This Mother’s Day, SBCUSD is celebrating the families who are shaping futures together through education. From Maya Kim following in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother, to Angela and Steven Quinlan inspiring students and fellow educators, these families show that teaching is more than a profession — it’s a calling passed down through generations. 💙📚 Whether preparing classrooms together, mentoring one another or serving the same community they call home, these educators embody the heart of public education: love, service, relationships and inspiration. Their impact reaches far beyond the classroom, helping shape the next generation of leaders, learners and dreamers. Thank you to all the mothers and families across SBCUSD whose dedication continues to make a difference every day. 🌷✨ #MothersDay #SBCUSD #TeacherLegacy #FamilyOfEducators

We are proud to designate May 6, 2026, as National School Nurse Day. Established in 1972, this annual observance recognizes the vital role school nurses play in supporting the success and health of our students. Our school nurses are more than caregivers; they are highly trained registered nurses with specialized credentials in California. They are instrumental in promoting wellness, improving health outcomes, and serving as a crucial link between our families and schools. We extend our heartfelt gratitude and honor our district’s school nurses for their steadfast dedication to ensuring every student is healthy, supported, and ready to learn every single day. 💙 #NationalSchoolNurseDay
