San Rafael City Schools

Parents and Families: Arriving at school on time each morning is critically important to your child’s academic success. Every instructional minute counts, and being present right from the opening bell sets students up for a productive day.

Morning Arrival Tips

- Bus Riders: Bring your child to the stop a few minutes early, fully ready and waiting before the bus arrives.
- Car Drop-offs: Build in extra time to account for morning traffic or unexpected neighborhood delays.

If your family experiences frequent challenges with tardies or absences, our School Attendance Review Team (SART) will reach out to collaborate on a supportive plan. SART meetings are a collaborative opportunity to identify obstacles, share resources and create strategies that help your child thrive.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership in making every school day count!

We’re proud to partner with Marin County Safe Routes to School, whose mission is to increase the number of children walking and biking to school. Their initiatives integrate health, fitness, traffic relief, environmental awareness and safety.

This semester, Safe Routes’ encouragement program is centered on Community and Consistency - bringing students, families and neighbors together while encouraging walking, rolling and carpooling on the way to school.

And to make those trips easier to navigate, Safe Routes offers Suggested Route Maps for 36 Marin schools.

Thank you to our Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee for their dedication and service! They recently presented their latest Annual Report to the SRCS Board to highlight the bond projects and the related expenditures.

Thanks to strong voter support, school bonds continue to transform SRCS in meaningful and lasting ways. This ongoing bond program is enabling the District to modernize learning environments, integrate advanced instructional technology and ensure safe, adaptable spaces that support teaching and learning.

Appointed by the Board, CBOC members review bond program expenditures. Their work is shared with the Board and the public to demonstrate that school bond funds are invested as the voters intended and that projects are completed wisely and efficiently. If you are interested in serving on the CBOC, please reach out to [email protected]. View the report to see a snapshot or complete projects, those in process and work still to come:
