As part of the district-wide start of the 2025–2026 school year, California Elementary threw red carpet parties to welcome back its students. The school is now asking people in the community to fill out the 2026 Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) survey so they can get useful feedback on their educational goals. This year, all students in the district get free breakfast and lunch because of the Community Eligibility Provision. It also helps the staff and students.
