The community has high expectations for its children and the degree of parent involvement is high despite the growing number of single parent families and those in which both parents work outside the home. In response to the increasing need for quality, affordable child care, the district provides before and after school student care programs on a space available basis at all elementary schools in partnership with licensed providers. Cupertino is nationally recognized for leadership in the innovative application of technology to enrich student learning. The district has adopted a comprehensive Instructional Technology Plan designed to fully integrate technology into the curriculum. Believing that the most significant variable in the delivery of services to our students is the quality of our human resources, a major goal of the strategic plan is to attract, retain, and develop a competent, caring, and effective staff.
Partnerships are another key component of the strategic plan.
Literally hundreds of partnerships serve to support, reinforce, and supplement our most critical partnership between school and home. Capitalizing on the community's human, material, and financial resources to benefit children as well as providing service and outreach to the community, district partnerships contribute to a better quality of life through a better quality of education.
