Half Moon Bay editor Christa Bigue got this shot today of the line of crab lovers awaiting the first day of crab sales at Pillar Point Harbor.
Will you go down to the coast, or wait till the crab lands in your local market?

Please come to the San Mateo City Council meeting tonight at 7:00 or shortly after and voice your…Read More concern about replacing our community's skating rink with a retail store. Bring something to read/do while we wait for our turn to speak.

The City has spent time working with the developer, behind closed doors it would seem, yet input…Read More from the public was an afterthought due to MANY families showing up at a May 6 City Council Meeting (not on the Agenda, yet rink to close June 1 !) So many kids spoke so sincerely and eloquently how the closure would hurt them and their friends. Does San Mateo City Hall care about the residents of our community? Especially the children. City Hall has the upper hand (the Master Plan agreement), we expect them to step up. Why has City Hall allowed SPI to make the children of our community suffer so much agony and pain over this process? Shame on City Hall for letting this drag out !!

Don't give up....the kids are worth it! It is wrong for SPI to be in non-compliance with the master…Read More plan. City Hall should be filing some type of injunction to stop closure of the ice center....this is not right. Repeat of what happened with 7 Eleven on North San Mateo Drive when the developer ignored our City ordinances/plans. Why is this happening again in our City of San Mateo?

Eileen, you are heartily invited to visit the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Redwood City. We…Read More are a welcoming, caring group of about 177 people who
find music, laughter, social, intellectual and social action pursuits to be eminently spiritual. Our services are at 10:30 a.m. Sundays at 2124 Brewster St. Best work advice at this time is to keep checking Craig's List, the Peninsula section, under both Etc. and part-time jobs.

Ari-Thanks for sharing the adventures of your volunteering projects! You are a great inspiration to…Read More our entire community and we are all very proud to have you as a spokesperson on how volunteering can make a huge impact! Thank you very much! Keep on having fun!

This is a great reminder that any other local volunteers who would like to share their projects with…Read More the community may do so on Belmont Patch! Simply email the editor at joan.dentler@patch.com. Great job Ari!

API of 800 is not bad but parents are comparing it with other schools in the district. There are…Read More other issues that make parents unhappy. The residents in RWS and Belmont Shores are paying property tax which contributes to the building of RWSE. There is an expectation that their kids will go to the kids they help fund. The RWS parents are unhappy because they were told they would not be affected by the no boundary policy. Then, a year later 26 families are affected. No one like surprises. The board's decision to use a 'walking distance' algorithm to promote neighborhood schools is not working. Well, hypothetically if Nesbit API is over 900 and the other schools has API of 800, would we still have this discussion? We would not know for sure but something to think about if API is a factor among others.

I just moved into the neighborhood behind Iron Gate and we bought in Belmont because of the schools.…Read More I am kinda shocked to find people bashing Nesbit. The API score is over 800, has great diversity, and the location seems to be pretty convenient. Our son has 2 more years before he starts, but we wouldn't mind one bit if we ended up at Nesbit. What's the difference of 100 points on API that an extra 5 minutes of father-son tutoring time can't fix. Besides, we all end up at Ralston and Carlmont anyways. To me, those are the schools that matter most.

We have an on-site after care program at Ralson Middle School. Middle School youth are not too old…Read More to be in aftercare. The youth have a chance to exercise, eat a healthy snack, get their homework done, do arts and crafts, be with their friends and most importantly be in a safe, secure and educational environment. We have around 35 youth enrolled on Wednesdays and room for more if anyone is interested. The program is called Footsteps@RAMS.

You have to love the Patch, there is always someone complaining about public education. The schools…Read More really must have failed all of you, because you don't know how to Google anything to educate yourself before you spew your negative opinions. Below are a couple of links that will help you learn. The first informs you of what minimum days are actually for and the second tells you legally why all schools in the county either have them or have shorter school years. For those of you that aren't the best readers or researchers I'll just tell you that BRSSD adheres to the required instructional minutes in the state. In fact, it is actually over in some grade levels. If you don't feel like believing the information I provided or don't like BRSSD's policy I've also linked the District's website so you can contact the administration or the board members.

I'm just now reading this, and haveapizza, I resent that you think that Nesbit parents aren't…Read More involved in their kids' education. I've been involved since my kids started school, and I know many others who are involved too. Oh, and my kids are accountable for their education. Stop bashing Nesbit.

We will be sharing the latest petition results with the board on May 2nd, so please show your…Read More support by signing if you haven't already. There are only 7 K seats available at Nesbit to handle all of Phase 2 and Phase 3 enrollment. Rather delaying the decision, the board should be proactive and approve the 4th K class at Sandpiper at the May 2nd meeting so that Sandpiper staff can prepare for that additional K class, and parents can move on to collaborating with the district on long term solutions for over-enrollment.
