EGUSD Board Resolutions 

Mobile Communcation Device Reminder

In May 2023, our EGUSD Board of Education approved a revised policy 5131.8 regarding Mobile Communication Devices (MCDs). An administrative regulation to accompany the policy revision was also adopted. The policy and regulation define “mobile communication devices” as “any portable electronic device capable of transmitting or receiving data in the form of a voice or text message or capable of accessing the internet. Some examples include cell phones, smartphones, smart watches, earbuds, and other such devices. Students in grades TK-6 may not use MCDs while on campus except when a teacher or administrator grants permission to the student. When on campus, MCDs must be turned off and placed out of sight during the school day. Students in grades TK-6 who need to call parents may use phones located in the school administrative office. Additionally, all students in grades TK-12 must comply anytime a request is made by school personnel to cease the use of MCDs on campus, even before or after school. If an MCD is observed by staff during school hours or activities when the use of the device is not authorized, or after a student has been directed by school personnel to cease use of the device, it shall be confiscated until picked up by a parent or guardian.

However, a student shall not be prohibited from possessing or using a MCD under any of the following circumstances:

·         In the case of an emergency or in response to a perceived threat of danger.

·         When a teacher or administrator grants permission to the student to possess or use an MCD, subject to any reasonable limitation imposed by that teacher or administrator.

·         When a licensed physician determines that the possession or use of MCD is use of which is limited in purposes, related to and necessary for the student’s health and well being as required in the student’s health plan.

·         When the possession or use is required by the students IEP or 504 plan.

This revised board policy is also in our Carroll Family/Student Handboolk. Please contact Jack Ferreira, Principal with questions.

Social Emotional Learning at Carroll 

Elk Grove Unified has adopted two curricula for the instruction of Social Emotional Learning: Character Strong (also called PurposeFULL people in elementary schools) and Second Step. Carroll Elementary School utilizes Character Strong as our SEL curricula to provide our students effective SEL education. Elk Grove Unified has adopted the 5 core SEL competencies from the Collaborative for Academic and Social Emotional Learning (CASEL):

• Self-awareness: the ability to understand one’s own emotions, thoughts, and values and how they influence behavior across contexts. This includes the capacity to recognize one’s strengths and limitations with a well-grounded sense of confidence and purpose.

•  Self-management: the ability to manage one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors effectively in different situations and to achieve goals and aspirations. This includes the capacity to delay gratification, manage stress, and feel motivation and agency to accomplish personal and collective goals.

• Relationship skills: the ability to establish and maintain healthy and supportive relationships and to effectively navigate settings with diverse individuals and groups. This includes the capacity to communicate clearly, listen actively, cooperate, work collaboratively, navigate settings with differing social and cultural demands and opportunities, provide leadership, and seek or offer help when needed. 

• Social awareness: the ability to understand the perspectives of and empathize with others, including those from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and contexts. This includes the capacity to feel compassion for others, understand broader historical and social norms for behavior in different settings, and recognize family, school, and community resources and supports.

• Responsible decision-making: the ability to make caring and constructive choices about personal behavior and social interactions across diverse situations. This includes the capacity to consider ethical standards and safety concerns, and to evaluate the benefits and consequences of various actions for personal, social, and collective well-being.
