Please join us for our final community conversation of the school year focused on 21st Century Learning in San Carlos School District on Tuesday, May 29th, at 7:00 PM at Central Middle School’s Mustang Hall.

Come participate in hands-on demonstrations and activities featuring innovative approaches to learning:

  • Flipped Learning

A discussion of how these “21st Century Ideas” are relevant to our school district will follow.
