Summer Meals in San Mateo County

Summer Meals in San Mateo County

During the school year, all BRSSD students are able to access breakfast and lunch daily at school, free of charge. With summer approaching, we want to make sure that families are aware of other sources where they may be able to access nutritious meals during the summer when school is not in session.

The California Department of Education provides a list of sites annually that operate the Summer Food Service Program. Families can visit https://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sh/sn/summersites26.asp and click on the map to find a list of sites operating within San Mateo County. Each site listed includes dates, locations, meals served, and contact information. These programs are not run by BRSSD, so we recommend reaching out directly to the contact information provided in each program’s listing for more information about eligibility and how to participate.

Families can also download the CA Meals for Kids mobile app from https://www.cde.ca.gov/re/mo/cameals.asp to help find nearby California Afterschool and Summer Meal Program sites.

Comidas de Verano en el Condado de San Mateo

Durante el año escolar, todos los estudiantes del Distrito Escolar de Belmont-Redwood Shores (BRSSD) tienen acceso gratuito al desayuno y al almuerzo diariamente en la escuela. Con la llegada del verano, queremos asegurarnos de que las familias conozcan otras opciones para obtener comidas nutritivas durante las vacaciones escolares.

El Departamento de Educación de California publica anualmente una lista de los centros que ofrecen el Programa de Servicio de Alimentos de Verano. Las familias pueden visitar https://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sh/sn/summersites26.asp y hacer clic en el mapa para encontrar la lista de centros en el Condado de San Mateo. Cada centro incluye fechas, ubicaciones, comidas servidas e información de contacto. Estos programas no son administrados por el BRSSD, por lo que recomendamos comunicarse directamente con la información de contacto proporcionada en la lista de cada programa para obtener más información sobre los requisitos y cómo participar.

Las familias también pueden descargar la aplicación móvil CA Meals for Kids desde https://www.cde.ca.gov/re/mo/cameals.asp para encontrar fácilmente los centros cercanos del Programa de Comidas de Verano y Después de la Escuela de California.

Dear Belmont-Redwood Shores School District Community,
As we come to the close of another school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on all that we have accomplished together and express my gratitude to the many individuals who make our schools such special places for students.

This year was filled with learning, growth, and achievement. Across our District, students challenged themselves academically, explored new interests, developed meaningful relationships, and continued to demonstrate the qualities reflected in our Profile of a Learner. Whether in classrooms, on stages, through service projects, or in countless everyday moments, our students inspired us with their curiosity, perseverance, creativity and kindness.

None of this happens without the dedication of our staff. Our teachers, administrators, and support staff work tirelessly to create safe, engaging, and inclusive learning environments where every student can thrive. Their commitment to students is evident every day, and BRSSD is stronger because of their care, expertise and unwavering belief in children.

I also want to thank our families, parent organizations, volunteers, community partners and SchoolForce. Your support enriches our schools and strengthens the connection between home, school, and community. Together, we continue to create opportunities that benefit all students and help ensure a bright future for our District.

As you know, I will be concluding my service to the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District at the end of June. It has been a privilege to serve this community and I am deeply grateful for the relationships, experiences and memories that we have shared. As a reminder, Human Capital Enterprises will be supporting BRSSD with a superintendent search and your participation is important. Information about these opportunities to provide input, including how to participate in focus groups and access the survey, will be shared through the District website and ParentSquare. Please check the District website, ParentSquare, as well as email for updates on these opportunities.

As summer begins, I hope you find time to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. Congratulations to all of our students on a successful year. We look forward to welcoming our community back on the first day of school, August 12th!
Thank you for making my time here in BRSSD truly special and I wish everyone a wonderful summer.

With Gratitude,
Dan Deguara
Superintendent

Dear Belmont-Redwood Shores School District Community,

As many of you know, Superintendent Dan Deguara recently shared with our community his decision to transition from his role at the end of the school year. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we want to again express our appreciation for his years of leadership, partnership, and dedication to the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District community. We are grateful for his service and wish Dan and his family the very best in this next chapter.

The Board of Trustees is committed to ensuring a thoughtful and comprehensive transition process while continuing to support the important work of the District. Our schools, staff, and leadership teams remain fully focused on serving students and families and maintaining the strong educational programs, services, and operations our community expects.

To support this process, we will partner with a professional search firm specializing in superintendent searches to help identify and recruit highly qualified candidates for our district. This week, the Board released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for executive search firms and anticipates selecting a firm on June 1st, with the search process beginning immediately thereafter. We are committed to conducting a thorough process that reflects the priorities, values, and aspirations of our community. Once a firm has been selected, the community can expect additional information regarding opportunities to provide feedback and participate in the search process.

Throughout the summer, the Board will continue to provide periodic public updates regarding the superintendent search process. In parallel, we are also working closely with district leadership to ensure continuity, stability and support for our students, staff and families during this transition.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, thank you for your continued partnership and support of our schools and students.

Sincerely,

David Koss
President, Board of Trustees
Belmont-Redwood Shores School District
