Trace Elementary
Birgitte Smith
Hello, my name is Birgitte Smith and I have been teaching in San Jose Unified for 20 years. 19 of those years have been in first grade. I have a BA degree in Business and I received my Multiple Subject teaching credential at National University. My family is a very important part of my life, I have a 28 year old son, graduated from Chico and now is self employed. I also have a 21 year old daughter who is attending San Jose State with a major in communications. I have been married for 29 years (yes, to the same man). I enjoy reading, traveling, gardening, spending time with family and my guilty pleasure- watching any crime show ( CSI, Law and Order etc). I believe students need to become familiar with the new technology as well as our community and past. 21st century skills will be needed for all students to succeed and our goal is to make sure they do.

Trace Child Development Center
Before & After School Program
At Trace CDC, we take the before and after school experience a step beyond. We provide environments where children can spend time with friends, find homework assistance, work on school projects and be involved in indoor and outdoor activities created to take their knowledge and interests to a deeper level. All our activities are hands-on and encourage children to build new skills while fostering creativity and self expression. Let CDC be an experience your child looks forward to everyday!

Project Conerstone
Project Cornerstone trains and mobilizes school staff, students and parents to build development assets in order to support student success, academically and in all areas of their lives. One component of Project Cornerstone is the Los Dichos/ABC reading campaign. This is a program to incorporate asset building into classrooms and teaches students how to be good citizens, expect respect, get along with others, and become generally strong, confident contributing members of the Trace community. Parents read specific books with messages that address many assets such as Family Support, Caring Neighborhood, Safety, Time at Home, Cultural Competence, and Positive Cultural Identity.
