This article is shared by Amy Alzina, Superintendent.

Santa Barbara, Calif. – This year provided Cold Spring School District with an opportunity to enhance communication opportunities with families of the school district. The partnership between Cold Spring and the community was essential to optimizing student success during the pandemic.

For the last year, Cold Spring School District continued to host Superintendent/Principal’s Coffee weekly with Superintendent Amy Alzina, as well as various Community Meetings, located at the school’s Gazebo. The meetings encourage open communication between the school district, parents, and community members.

“Superintendent/Principal’s Coffee was a great way for our community members to contribute to the collaborative efforts required to make the past year effective for students’ learning,” says Amy Alzina, Superintendent, Cold Spring School District. “I thank our parents and community members for being responsive and willing to communicate with us as we worked through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our meetings at the Gazebo helped our district construct efficient plans for the school year and beyond.

With the increasing enrollment rate and continuous opportunities for in-person learning, Cold Spring School District has benefitted from providing new and ongoing resources for communicating with the district.

“Cold Spring School District is committed to maintaining strong relationships with parents and community members,” says Yuri Calderon, Chief Budget Officer, Cold Spring School District. “The COVID-19 pandemic prioritized communication between parents, community members, and our district regarding our students’ education experience and safety. Naturally, we welcome every opportunity to have important conversations with our Cold Spring community.”

Amy Alzina Superintendent | The Inspiring Harvest of the Native Garden

This content was shared by Amy Alzina Superintendent. Time flies. During the 2016-2017 school year, second graders at Cold Spring School District worked together to plant a Native Garden. Four years later, 6 th graders had the opportunity to garden one last time before leaving for middle school. Students were able to see the plant growth and know they had contributed to the local ecosystem, while being part of the district, and feel proud of their accomplishments. The Native Garden marked an important passage of time and remains a gift for the current students at Cold Spring School District. Santa Barbara is known for its diverse ecosystem due to its shared coastal and mountainous geography. Cold Spring’s approach to the Native Garden is to use local resources as a supplement to education standards while teaching students important lessons.  “The Native Garden at Cold Spring is an opportunity for students to develop environmental literacy skills and support their creativity,” says
