The King-Chavez Online Teacher Induction Program is a two-year job embedded program that enables candidates to turn their Preliminary CA Teaching Credential into a Clear Credential! Each candidate is paired with a mentor to work closely with throughout every step of the program. Twice per year, each candidate & mentor team sit down with their school principals in a Triad Meeting to discuss the upcoming semester's Professional Growth Goals. After learning the candidate's proposed area of focus for the semester, mentors and principals can share input by offering ideas and suggesting site resources that will support goal completion and professional development. To learn more about this program or apply for the 2025-2026 school year, visit https://lnkd.in/gUeqV2q5 #OnlineInductionProgram #ThePrideOfSanDiego #KCNS

Before Intersession, fifth grade students traded their seats at Academy of Excellence for an experiential-based classroom at the McGrath Family JA BizTown! Leading up to this visit, students researched careers that interest them. Through the simulated environment at BizTown, students were able to experience a day in their potential career while learning more about participation in a local economy. #BizTown #ThePrideOfSanDiego #KCNSExcellence

Our students’ educational experience is at the heart of every decision we make at King-Chavez Neighborhood of Schools. That’s one of many reasons we're proud to share some exciting upcoming changes to our school community! Blue School and Preparatory Academy As many of you know, we have already merged Primary and Arts & Athletics Academies. Starting in the 2025-26 school year, King-Chavez Preparatory Academy will move to the Blue School and become part of a united campus serving grades TK-8! A TK-8 campus will create a more cohesive learning environment for our students, while also providing families who have multiple KC students the convenience of a single enrollment and pick-up/drop off location. We're thrilled that Gerry Guevara will be Principal for the combined schools! High School Additionally, we're proud to announce that King-Chavez Community High School will move to the Preparatory building in 2025, located at 500 30th St, San Diego, CA 92102. Moving the high school back into our neighborhood will reduce commuting times for our students. They will be able to walk to school and they will also have access to our turf field, track, basketball courts and auditorium. Academy of Excellence The campus remodel is progressing and will be complete next year! Students will enjoy updated facilities while maintaining the small-school environment that makes KC so special. This is a significant moment in King-Chavez’s history that will reshape our schools in a positive way for your children and future generations! We're deeply grateful to be embarking on this journey with all of you.

Our Tigers stepped out of their usual habitat and into the Memorial Pool! Throughout September, King-Chavez Arts & Athletics students learned a variety of strokes, practiced treading water, and demonstrated water safety while building confidence in the pool. #ElementarySwim

The School Safety Patrol (SSP) at Arts & Athletics Academy take their safety responsibilities as seriously as their learning. This incredible team plays a huge role in the safe and successful arrival and dismissal of students on a daily basis. To show appreciation, School Safety Patrol students are invited to a fun event or field trip each month. In September, our very own SSP team joined SDPD officers and other SSP teams for a Padres game! #SchoolSafetyPatrol #ThePrideOfSanDiego #KCNSArtsAthletics
