To prepare a diverse K-8 student population for successful higher education by equipping each child with skills, knowledge, and critical moral thinking, developing habits of mind to become self-motivated, competent, lifelong learners.

Parent Communication

At Sherman Thomas Charter School we strive to keep our parents informed. BLOOMZ is a communication app that we have adopted here at STCS and found it is easy and simple to use.

Proposition 28: The Arts and Music in Schools

On November 8, 2022, California voters approved Proposition 28: The Arts and Music in Schools (AMS) Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act. The measure required the state to establish a new, ongoing program supporting arts instruction in schools beginning in 2023–24.

La legislación asigna el 1 por ciento de la parte de la garantía de financiación de la Proposición 98 desde el jardín de infantes hasta el grado doce (K-12) proporcionada en el año fiscal anterior, excluyendo la financiación asignada para el programa educativo de AMS. Las agencias educativas locales (LEA) con 500 o más estudiantes deben garantizar que al menos el 80 por ciento de los fondos de AMS que se gastarán se utilicen para contratar empleados certificados o clasificados para brindar instrucción en el programa de educación artística. Los fondos restantes deben usarse para capacitación, suministros y materiales, y programas de asociación educativa en artes, y no más del 1 por ciento de los fondos recibidos se deben utilizar para los gastos administrativos de una LEA.
