Families who attended open houses April 18 and April 21 learned about the programs and how to apply. They also participated in breakout activities, where they experienced elements of the new programs.
- The Center for Cultural Arts program will provide a creative, integrated, art-themed K-5 program that connects academic curriculum with the visual and performing arts. The vibrant local arts culture provides opportunities for a variety of field trips.
- The Center for Gifted Studies program will be the district's only south-county magnet offering full-time gifted services for students in grades 1-5. Students will receive academic instruction in gifted classrooms with gifted peers.
