ESS rebrand highlights expanded learning as program reports 1,300 students served

Lakeside Union School District Governing Board · September 11, 2026

Summary

Jared presented ESS's new branding and said the expanded-learning program served nearly 1,300 students this year and 595 during summer camp; trustees applauded staff and the board noted partnerships and field-trip opportunities tied to the rebrand.

Jared told the board that ESS is "officially off a wait list" and is serving nearly 1,300 students across the district this year. He credited site leads, principals and assistants for keeping students "safe, engaged, supported, and excited to come to ESS," and described a recent summer program that enrolled 595 students and offered 15 classroom-based activities from cooking to team building.

Jared said the program rebrand centers on a bowl-and-shield logo that incorporates local landmarks and represents the district’s families. "The bowl represents the strength, stability, determination, and fearlessness of the families that we serve," he told trustees, adding the rebrand marks a broader shift toward "expanded learning — not just more time, not just more childcare, but more experiences, more opportunities, more partnerships." Trustees commended the video and the staff; one trustee noted field-trip opportunities and another asked where the zip-line activity took place (Indian Hills).
