INTERESTED IN BEING A CAMPUS SAFETY ASSISTANT?

We are looking for any interested adults to work afternoon shifts to cover our lunch and afternoon recess shifts. Please contact Stacey Coombe, our Office Manager, if you are interested in this opportunity!

2023-2024 Opt-In Communication for Advisory Council/Committee Updates

In CVUSD, parent/guardian engagement and participation is a top priority! Participation is encouraged through many organizations and activities. Several CVUSD Advisory Councils/Committees that support parent/guardian participation are listed in the link below, with the OPTION for you to select any or all to receive communications from the school’s identified parent/guardian representative and/or from school site administration. This communication would provide information and updates to you related to the Advisory Council/Committee meetings. Please select the Council(s)/Committee(s) that you would like to receive information and updates on, approximately monthly. If you have students at multiple school sites, please submit the form for each school. Additionally, if you opted-in last year, please plan to do so annually. Importantly, should you choose to opt-in to receiving these updates, the parent/guardian representative for the Advisory Council(s)/Committees(s) and/or the administration will not share your email address with others. You also have the ability to opt-out at any time in the event you no longer wish to receive the Advisory Council/Committee information.

If you would like to learn more about these Advisory Councils/Committees, or other ways to get involved at CVUSD, please go to: https://www.conejousd.org/domain/1365

PARENT REPRESENTATIVES NEEDED

We are looking for parents to serve as representatives on our district's District English Learner Advisory Council (DELAC) and Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning and Others Advisory Council (LGBTQ+ AC) . Please email Dr. Craven if you are interested in serving as an Aspen parent representative on one of these committees. Please know that there is a commitment to attend their monthly meetings.

Parking Lot Safety

The following guidelines will assist us in keeping our students safe in the parking lot:

Proceed in the Aspen parking lot at no more than 5 miles per hour.
Walk with your child across the parking lot using the marked crosswalk.
Do not allow your child to walk unattended between cars.
Stay in the right hand lane, move all the way forward, and drop your student off from the right side of the vehicle.
Never leave your vehicle unattended in the drive-thru lanes.
Follow the California Vehicle Code laws.
Remind your child to respect people’s property.

Consider the following:

You may pull up to the curb at the front of the school to drop off your student.
You may park on the street on Oberlin or Marlowe and walk your student on campus.
Please do not block driveways.
Be mindful of labeled No Parking zones near the crosswalks.
The gates at the front of the school will be open for entry and exit. There will not be access through the gate on Marlowe.
Arrange with your student ahead of time a location for pickup.
