SAN MARCOSUNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

The Elementary Education department supports the curriculum and instruction for the twelve elementary sites in the San Marcos Unified School District in order for students to achieve the state standards. In collaboration with teachers, we have developed timelines, instructional materials, and assessments to ensure all students receive a guaranteed viable curriculum. In addition, we provide ongoing professional development for our teachers to prepare them to deliver 21st Century learning in the classroom.
