Happy to be working with FMSD and Catholic Charities on these children's savings programs. CalKIDS Program

At FMSD, we empower students and families to plan for and pursue a path towards higher education. Did you know that about 81% of Franklin-McKinley students have a CalKIDS account with $500 or more? But many don’t know about this, and so far, less than 10% have registered to view the account online.

CalKIDS is a program created by the State of California that provides up to $1,500 in free money for eligible school-aged children to help kickstart their savings for future college and career training expenses. Your child may already have an account established in their name. Enrollment in CalKIDS is automatic and families are not required to contribute. CalKIDS doesn’t consider immigration status.

Families can register with CalKIDS and learn about their children’s savings account and the various opportunities to participate in recognized savings programs that allow them to contribute funds with matching deposits and incentives, such as “Step Up Savings” (with Excite Credit Union) and “College in my Future” (with Excite Foundation).

Claiming your child’s college savings account with CalKIDS is quick and easy! Visit CalKIDS.org to learn more. You can also request guidance at your school about this process! Our district is partnering with Excite Credit Union and Excite Foundation (selected by the State to promote savings programs for low-income students) and Catholic Charities (CORAL program), to inform and support families in the process of registering and learning more about these savings programs. Thank you everyone for joining the efforts to make higher education a reality for students!

En FMSD, empoderamos a los estudiantes y a las familias para que planifiquen y sigan un camino hacia la educación superior. ¿Sabía que alrededor del 81% de los estudiantes de Franklin-McKinley tienen una cuenta CalKIDS con $500 o más? Pero muchos no lo saben y, hasta ahora, menos del 10% se ha registrado para ver la cuenta en línea.

CalKIDS es un programa creado por el Estado de California que proporciona hasta $1,500 en dinero gratis para niños en edad escolar elegibles para ayudarlos a impulsar sus ahorros para futuros gastos universitarios y de capacitación profesional. Es posible que su hijo ya tenga una cuenta establecida a su nombre. La inscripción en CalKIDS es automática y las familias no están obligadas a contribuir. CalKIDS no considera el estatus migratorio.

Las familias pueden registrarse en CalKIDS y saber de la cuenta de ahorros de sus hijos y las diversas oportunidades para participar en programas de ahorro reconocidos que les permiten contribuir fondos con depósitos e incentivos equivalentes, como “Step Up Savings” (con Excite Credit Union) y “College en Mi Futuro” (con Excite Foundation).

¡Reclamar la cuenta de ahorros para la universidad de su hijo con CalKIDS es rápido y fácil! Visite Calkids.org para obtener más información. ¡También puede solicitar orientación en su escuela sobre este proceso! Nuestro distrito se está asociando con Excite Credit Union y Excite Foundation (seleccionada por el Estado para promover programas de ahorro para estudiantes de bajos ingresos) y Catholic Charities (programa CORAL), para informar y apoyar a las familias en el proceso de registrarse y aprender más sobre estos programas de ahorro. ¡Gracias a todos por unirse a los esfuerzos para hacer de la educación superior una realidad para los estudiantes!

Our friends at Shop with a Cop Foundation of Silicon Valley do a great job supporting literacy and college readiness. Today, we were at Santee Elementary and Los Arboles Elementary where SWAC recognized third-graders for exceptional reading level gains and invited them on a special holiday shopping spree with local officers! These same children are enrolled in our College In My Future savings program.

We are thrilled to announce that we have funded 214 new college savings accounts for children enrolled in the Kidango Head Start childcare and pre-school program. This pilot program serves many children in the Alum Rock area of San Jose, and we look to expand further with Kidango families next year. Accounts were started with a $50 seed deposit and can earn $100 in incentives and deposit matches when parents engage to learn more about college savings. Excite Credit Union

Today we established College Savings Accounts for 610 first grade children in Franklin-McKinley School District, bringing the three year total to over 1,800 children. The focus area for the district is ensuring that families know that college is possible for their children and the district is providing education and tools to make it achievable.

Research shows that low-income children with College Savings Accounts have higher college completion rates. College In My Future (CIMF) is designed with this in mind, drawing from best practices nationwide. Thanks to Prosperity Now and leaders in San Francisco and St. Louis for teaching us how it is done!
