Our District's Mission
RCSD creates a safe and supportive, inspirational and rigorous, joyful and inclusive environment for all learners
PreK
The preschool program forms the foundation for later life learning in all domains of development, including socio-emotional, language, literacy, and mathematics.
Transitional Kindergarten (TK)
The TK class provides more opportunities for social-emotional and language development, including mathematics functions through interactive, hands-on activities, which helps students develop and build upon existing skills to be successful in kindergarten, and stimulating classroom centers, which focus on science, mathematics, writing, arts and crafts, community role play, etc.
Kindergarten
Kindergarten is a time for students to get acclimated to school, make friends, and have fun learning while doing. Time in the classroom–and recess time–builds relationships, hones lifelong skills, and fosters a positive attitude toward learning. Fun hands-on enrichment activities in math and science, skill building in language arts, early digital literacy opportunities, and introductions to arts and music are provided to students as they learn the structures of the classroom.
New Partnership Adds to District’s Innovative Teacher Pipelines
With an eye toward the future, Redwood City School District (RCSD) is partnering with rising educators from San Jose State University (SJSU) through a unique Bilingual Residency Program. The multifaceted program recruits and retains enthusiastic teachers to our already accomplished and gifted team.
“The Space Inspires Me to Be Creative” The Garfield Gators Have a New, Modern Home
The Garfield campus upgrade took place thanks to Measure T, a bond measure to fund facility improvements throughout RCSD. It has helped the district complete required repairs and upgrades to its facilities as most RCSD sites are 50 years old and three are more than 80 years old.
Community, Culture, and Quality are Key, Neighborhood School Parents Say
The parents of students in Redwood City School District (RCSD) are an enthusiastic bunch. They’re thrilled with the way their little loved ones learn – specifically, they credit the teachers, the schools’ respective cultures and value communication from teachers, staff and administration.
