Welcome to a new school year at Capay School. We are pleased to be part of your student's life. As always, our focus is on Safety-Respect-Responsibility. These have always been important here at Capay, but we always make a conscientious effort to re-enforce our beliefs that these 3 categories affect all our behaviors. All our rules fall into one of these categories, so by focusing and encouraging these 3 categories, our students are constantly thinking what their actions will mean.

The school superintendent/principal is Mr. Scribner. We are pleased to have him back for his 5th year at Capay School. We also want to welcome Al Gonzales, who will serve as the 7th grade teacher this year!

Capay School has an after school program on campus. This is called SPARK. The participation in this program has created a lot of interest. We have a kindergarten program that starts when the kindergarteners are released from school. This program is offered EVERY school day.

Capay Joint Union Elementary School District is a one-school district with students in Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. It is in the center of what was once the Spanish land grant of El Rancho Capay. When the community decided to build a new schoolhouse, two schools- Capay School in Tehama County and Macintosh School in Glenn County- joined together on the new site, which was on the county line. The school campus is partly in Tehama County and partly in Glenn County, with support services provided by Glenn County Office of Education. When eighth grade students graduate from Capay, they may attend Corning High School in Tehama County or Hamilton Union High School in Glenn County.

Over the years the area has retained its basic agricultural focus. The school is surrounded by dairy and cattle farms, orchards of olives and oranges, and other agricultural ventures such as beekeeping. There is no town of Capay. The nearest towns are Hamilton City and Orland.
