Calkids.org is the website for CalKIDS, a California state-funded scholarship program launched in 2022 to assist children with college savings. CalKIDS will provide each child born in California and eligible low-income public school students free money for college education and career training! To learn more and claim your student's CalKIDS account, go to Calkids.org and enter the student's Statewide Student Identifier (SSID). The SSID can be found in the San Juan Student Portal under Student Identifiers > State Student ID, or in the San Juan Parent Portal under Student Identifiers > State Student ID.

Attention all El Camino students! The Recycling Club has recently started and we're still looking for more members! Looking for a super easy way to bank community service hours? Or just looking for a way to get involved in school clubs/activities? Want to help out or give back to the community? Whatever the reason is, the Recycling Club is a great way to do all of these things.

Key information:

• Meets each Wednesday, right after school in Room S-9
• Flexible & Fast: Club runs for approximately 30 minutes each week (usually ends around 3:45 to 3:50 p.m.); you are not required to come to every meeting (come when you want)
• Easy way to bank community service hours, even if you don’t need them now (everyone, regardless of whether you need them or not, can get community service hours from participating)

Have any questions? See Mr. Tompkins in Room S-9. We hope to see you there!
