Weekly Newsletter
Teachers have been through so much these last couple of years. They have been flexible and patient as students returned to full in-person learning this year not really knowing what to expect from our students when they came in August. Teachers come to work every day because of their dedication, love, and passion for educating students! Words cannot express how grateful we are for the work you do with our students daily. I appreciate each of you!!
THANK YOU - for being an educator!!
THANK YOU - for being great role models to our students!
THANK YOU - for exemplifying our Core Values in the midst of a trying year!
THANK YOU - for choosing to share your passion and love for teaching here at El Camino!

Youth Opportunity Passes - FREE!!
SANDAG has teamed up with MTS, NCTD, and the County of San Diego to connect youth to opportunity by providing free transit to anyone aged 18 and under through a one-year pilot program. The SANDAG Youth Opportunity Pass is funded by SANDAG, with support from the County of San Diego, as part of its pilot program to make transit accessible for everyone. These programs are guided by the 2021 Regional Plan, a comprehensive framework to make our region more equitable, more efficient, and more connected.
The SANDAG Youth Opportunity Pass pilot program will begin May 1, 2022 and continue through June 30, 2023. Anyone aged 18 years or younger can ride transit for free with a Youth PRONTO account app or card. For more information, please see the flyer and Frequently Asked Questions.
