In the absence of our socially-centered fundraisers, families may be looking for alternative ways to support the school. Governance Council recently sent a letter about our annual fund, a simple way for community members to contribute to the school's programs. Please see that letter below.

CPFA has recently developed a website that we hope will be a great resource for parents and volunteers throughout the district. There tends to be a lot of confusion surrounding CPFA and how we operate, particularly at the middle and high school levels, so it's our hope that this will provide more visibility for our organization and greater clarity for volunteers.

About Us
Sycamore Elementary School, founded as Claremont Grammar School in 1890, is home to approximately 380 students in grades kindergarten through six. Ninety-nine percent of our students reside within the boundaries of CUSD; however, a strong percentage of families are students who transfer from within the city. These families cite the unique nature of our multi-age, constructivist-based educational program as the reason for their decision.
Learning is student centered at Sycamore Elementary School. Respect for each child as a learner is the foundation of our instructional activities and curricular decisions. Within our multi-age environment, leadership and collaboration is promoted. We encourage students to solve problems in a variety of ways, to influence and reflect upon their learning, and to apply their learning to real-world scenarios. At Sycamore, we intend to respond to the unique needs of each student by differentiating instruction and providing teaching strategies based upon the multiple intelligences.
