SUHSD Update: JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2025 (corrected 2_17_26)

SUHSD Update News from Sequoia Union High School District February 13, 2026 Photo of the Month Valentine's Day image by Woodside High School Student Valeria Bedolla. Do you have a photo to share for possible publication in a future newsletter? Email Naomi Hunter with the photo and a brief caption. We are looking for photos of AND by students. A Message from Superintendent Crystal Leach Dear SUHSD Community, The month of February, when we celebrate Black History Month, reminds us that progress is built through a shared commitment to justice, belonging, kindness, and mutual respect. I was inspired by a recent piece that aired on the PBS NewsHour featuring Minnijean Brown-Trickey, one of the teenagers who integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, speaking to our very own students at Sequoia High School. Ms. Brown-Trickey recounted the challenges of her first day attending a previously all-white school while a crowd outside screamed insults at her. "There were 20 students who were nice to us, and about 300 really mean kids, and 1700 kids who said nothing," she told our students. "If you're walking through terror, if somebody smiles with a genuine smile, you feel like there's hope." It is profound to realize that something as simple as a kind smile can make the difference between someone feeling welcomed or excluded! The full story is available below, and I encourage you to watch it. Ms. Brown-Trickey’s experience, and those of others who endured trauma in the pursuit of justice, offer powerful lessons that continue to shape our understanding and actions today. The last few weeks have been heavy for many, yet I continue to see students, staff, and families showing up with thoughtfulness and resilience, even on sad days. History reminds us how important it is to create spaces where students feel seen, where we listen to each other, and where we continue to build a community rooted in dignity and respect. As we head into mid-winter break, I hope this time provides space to rest, reconnect, and recharge. If you or someone you know could benefit from additional support, resources are shared below, and our schools are here to help. Thank you for being part of this community and for the care you extend to one another. I wish you a restful and restorative break. Sincerely, Crystal Leach Superintendent Important Information Please read to stay up to date SUHSD Board Votes to Move TIDE Academy to Woodside High School Beginning in the 2026-27 School Year Corrected 2/17/26: The original version of this webpage incorrectly referred to the formation of a ‘Board Committee.’ As per the minutes from the September 10 board meeting, item 16.5, the Committee should have been referred to as a ‘Temporary Superintendent’s Committee’  At the February 4 board meeting, the Board of Trustees voted to close TIDE Academy on June 30, 2026, and move the academic program to Woodside High School starting in the 2026-27 school year. The decision follows a deliberative process that began at the November 12 Board meeting, when a a Temporary Superintendent’s Committee composed of Trustees Rich Ginn and Mary Beth Thompson provided a report-out on its review of enrollment, program offerings, and the long-term fiscal health of the District. Speaking on behalf of the Committee at the November 12 meeting, Trustee Thompson reported that because TIDE Academy is such a small school, it requires a disproportionate amount of resources to operate over time, and recommended that the Board direct the superintendent to develop and bring forward a clear plan to discuss and consider a possible closure of TIDE Academy at the December 10, 2025, board meeting. Since that time, the district has conducted numerous question and answer sessions with parents and staff, provided answers via a written FAQ, held data and information sessions, including a Board study session on January 26, according to a plan that was presented to the Board on December 10, 2025. At the board meeting, Superintendent Leach presented three options to the Board, explaining that her recommendation was developed according to these guiding principles and considerations: program viability, fiscal sustainability, student experience, and feasibility within operational constraints: 1. Close TIDE Academy June 30, 2026, and move the academic program to Woodside High School starting in the 26/27 school year.    2. Close TIDE Academy June 30, 2027, and move the academic program to Woodside High School starting in the 27/28 school year.   3. Close TIDE Academy June 30, 2029, allowing the three remaining classes to graduate from TIDE Academy.  “The Board made a very difficult decision last night," said Superintendent Leach. “We heard from students, parents and staff that TIDE has become a safe and comfortable place for them, and yet we still had to address the long-term sustainability issues that are the responsibility of a School Board to ensure that we can serve all students across the District. The option the Board chose will ensure that current students have the option to stay together, and will allocate future resources to serve students across the District. Now we begin the next phase: working with each and every TIDE student and staff member to ensure a smooth transition.”  Superintendent Leach noted that Sequoia Union High School District is relatively well funded compared to some neighboring districts, but the District’s resources are not unlimited. “We face incr History of TIDE Academy TIDE Academy opened in August 2019 (2019–20) as a small public high school serving grades 9–12. It was developed as an additional District high school option, with a program that includes STEAM/CTE pathways and dual enrollment, and was also intended to help address anticipated enrollment pressure in the District at that time, including at Menlo-Atherton High School. The anticipated increase in enrollment projected in 2016 never materialized, and enrollment is projected to continue declining. At its January 14 board meeting, the District received a Demographic Analysis & Enrollment Projections Study from King Consulting that showed a loss in enrollment of 16 percent for the elementary feeder districts that matriculate into SUHSD between 2016-17 and 2025-26, and a decline in birth rates in San Mateo County of 31 percent since 2001, consistent with statewide trends.   Parents: Please take our LCAP Survey As a District, we launched our Strategic Planning work in September of 2023. Through the process, we have engaged in rich conversation with lots of students, staff, leaders, families and community partners to craft the Portrait of a SUHSD Graduate, which represents a vision for a graduate from our District. This survey aims to measure our progress towards some of the goals on our 2024-27 Strategic Plan, along with our Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). (Click here for the Survey in both English and Spanish) Thank you for your time and thoughtfulness in the completion of this survey by February 20, 2026.  Note we have extended it a week to allow for greater participation over mid-winter break!   Seeking Member for Vacancy on the Bond Oversight Committee The Sequoia Union High School District (SUHSD) is seeking an applicant to serve on the District's Measure W Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC).

TIDE Academy Transition Information

Dear TIDE Academy Students and Families, At the February 4 Board meeting, the SUHSD Board of Trustees voted to close TIDE Academy and relocate the TIDE academic program to Woodside High School beginning in the 2026-27 school year. We know this decision brings many emotions. First and foremost, we want you to know that your students matter to us and we are committed to a thoughtful, supportive and stable transition to move the TIDE academic program to Woodside High School starting in the 26/27 school year. Woodside High School is not simply receiving students; we are working together with the TIDE team to bring your programs, pathways, and community with you. We understand there are many questions about what the program will entail and below are answers to questions we are hearing most often: Will students stay with their cohort? Yes.  TIDE students will continue with their existing cohorts when they transition to Woodside High School. Preserving relationships with peers and trusted adults is one of our top priorities. We also recognize how central the  Nucleus advisory  model is to the TIDE experience. We will be able to accommodate an advisory structure within our Woodside Tutorial allowing cohorts to continue meeting regularly and maintaining the support system students rely on. What happens to the TIDE pathways and programs? The two TIDE pathways  (Computer Science and Graphic & Interactive Design)  will  continue at Woodside High School.  We are excited about their long-term sustainability, and we currently offer courses that naturally complement and strengthen these pathways. At the same time, the transition expands opportunities for: TIDE students to add Woodside CTE (Career Technical Education) electives that connect to their pathway Students to have access to the current  dual enrollment college courses offered at TIDE Students to explore additional programs such as Woodside’s  Green Academy  and  Graphics & Technology Academy Current Woodside 9th graders to learn about and apply to the Computer Science & Graphic & Interactive Design Pathways, strengthening and sustaining the cohorts over time Our goal is not to replace the TIDE model; it is to  grow it within a larger set of opportunities Will students have more academic options? Yes. One of the biggest benefits of this transition is expanded access. Students will continue in their pathway courses while gaining access to: Additional electives College-credit Dual Enrollment classes Expanded CTE offerings Additional academic offerings, activities (including many clubs), visual and performing arts and athletics Advanced Standing and Advanced Placement, as well as additional support classes like AVID We want every student to be able to stay on their academic path  and  have more doors open to them. How will students be supported socially and emotionally? We understand transitions are stressful, even when they create opportunity. The implementation plan includes: Continued advisory (Nucleus)/cohort structures Intentional student integration activities starting in the Spring semester 2026 Individual counseling and scheduling support Mentoring structures and peer connections Enhanced mental wellness services for TIDE students this spring and during the start of next school year We are focusing on support systems and not major schedule disruptions so students experience  continuity  rather than upheaval. Will transportation be provided? Yes, transportation will be provided. Updates and information about transportation services will be provided at a later date.  What happens next? Over the coming months, Woodside and TIDE staff will work side-by-side on: Scheduling and course alignment Student visits and orientation opportunities Family information meetings Individual counseling meetings We will communicate frequently and clearly as details are finalized. If you need more information at any time, please contact your counselor or the TIDE office or reach out to either of us directly. When can students and families see Woodside before the transition? We understand that many students and families want the opportunity to experience the campus in a calm and supportive way before next school year begins. Woodside High School will host special “Walk on the Wildside” tours on  Saturday, February 28th , designed specifically for current TIDE students, rising 9th graders who chose TIDE, and their families. During this small-group visit, families will meet teachers, counselors, administrators, and student leaders, tour learning spaces, and ask questions in an informal setting. This is a chance to become familiar with the people and spaces so students know what to expect and who they can go to for support. We want students to feel comfortable walking onto campus because they already recognize faces and places. Details about the visit and what to expect are included in the attached  flyer . Families may sign up for a guided tour time using the registration link:  https://bit.ly/WHSopenhouse We know TIDE Academy is more than a school building; it is a community. Our commitment is that students will not lose that community when they come to Woodside. Instead, we will protect what makes TIDE special and connect it to a broader set of opportunities and resources. We are honored to welcome you and we will walk through this transition together. With care and commitment, Karen van Putten , Principal - Woodside HS Simone Rick-Kennel , Principal - TIDE Academy Please note that emails sent via ParentSquare do not allow direct replies. If you have questions  please  contact your counselor or the TIDE office.

Enrollment options for TIDE students

Dear TIDE Students and Families, On Tuesday, we sent out information regarding enrollment options for current TIDE students and rising 9th graders who chose TIDE Academy.  The communication did not roll out as planned, and it caused distress to families this week.  We sincerely apologize.   We promised, and it is our sincere intent, to serve each current TIDE student with great care during this difficult transition.   We are debriefing as a team to ensure this does not happen again.  We regret that the communication did not provide adequate background and context, and that we did not update the TIDE page on the district website before sending the email. We used Informed K12, our district’s online forms system, not our usual communication platform, ParentSquare, so that we could provide an easy-to-complete, pre-filled form, which is only possible if you send directly from Informed K12. Unfortunately, using this platform caused confusion. The reason the email sent on Tuesday may not have been received by the parent/guardian who considers themselves the primary parent is that our Student Information System, Infinite Campus, does not designate parents as primary and secondary parents if they live in the same household. The system pulled the first name listed for each student; that parent may not be the parent who typically handles school paperwork. Unlike ParentSquare, Informed K12 can only send to one parent, and only the parent who receives the email can access the enrollment form.  If you did not receive the email with the enrollment form, please check all parent emails that were provided when you enrolled your child in SUHSD. If you do not find the email, which came from “ forms@informedk12.com,”   please contact  studentservices@seq.org  and we will make sure you receive the form. Below is the background and context you should have received prior to receiving the enrollment email: In light of the recent Board decision to relocate the TIDE academic program to Woodside High School beginning in the 2026-27 school year, we are re-opening and extending the Open Enrollment process until March 9  for current TIDE students, and incoming 9th graders who selected TIDE.  Open Enrollment gives your family the opportunity to explore schools and programs across the district and select the best fit for the 2026–27 school year; details are included on the form.  If current TIDE students and students who applied to TIDE as incoming 9th graders select Woodside on the request form, they will have a spot at Woodside.   If your student chooses Woodside, they will be cohorted with other TIDE students, they will have the ability to remain in the dual enrollment and CTE pathway they pursued at TIDE, and they will have the opportunity to take other classes available at Woodside.  If your student prefers a different SUHSD school, you will need to indicate that selection on the form.  Once your student makes a selection, their school of choice will be in contact with your student after March 9th.  Please submit the attached form by  March 9 .  If no selection is made, students will return to their assigned home school for the 2026–27 school year.  If you have questions or would like support completing the form, please contact your counselor or the TIDE office. Sincerely, Crystal Leach Superintendent Please note that emails sent via ParentSquare do not allow direct replies. If you have questions about enrollment, please  contact  studentservices@seq.org , your counselor or the TIDE office.
