Norco Cougar Tracks

Beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, all CNUSD schools will be receiving Federal Title I funding to support all students. These additional funds are allocated based upon a community's level of poverty and need. Title I funds are designed to supplement existing programs in schools and provide additional opportunities to support student’s academics and social-emotional learning.

Some examples of additional support for schools can include:

• Providing extra educational assistance in classrooms; including free before/after school tutoring.
• Providing supplemental funds to close the achievement gap.
• Providing opportunities to assist parents in being involved in their student's education through parent trainings, workshops, etc.

A Comprehensive Needs Assessment will be developed this spring with input from all stakeholders. The Needs Assessment will help us to analyze our school's needs, identify resource inequities, and to create a plan on how this new funding will be utilized in 2023-24.

All schools receiving Title I funds are also required to have a Parental Involvement Policy and a School-Parent Compact. These documents will describe the school’s responsibility for providing a high-quality curriculum in a supportive and effective learning environment and the ways parents will support their children’s learning.

Please watch the next several weekly Cougar Tracks for survey links and ways to participate in identifying both needs and solutions to better assist our students. This is an exciting opportunity for our community and school!

Online Registration for the 2023-24 school year is OPEN. All families MUST complete for enrollment in CNUSD next year.

Options for completing online registration:

• Complete on a computer by visiting https://parentconnect.cnusd.k12.ca.us.
• Download the Q Parent Connection app and complete online registration from your mobile device! You will also be able to access your student's grades, attendance, and more through the app!

The entire curb in front of the school located on Temescal Ave. has signs posted for 20 minute parking (during the hours of 6:30am – 3:30pm Monday - Friday) and/or NO PARKING - Student Loading Only (driver must remain in vehicle 7:00am – 4:00pm school days).

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
