Good Afternoon, CUSD,

Neidermeyer Field filled with excitement and activity this week. If you happened to drive by on Wednesday afternoon you likely saw the impressive Pass-in-Review parade from CHS NJROTC. The event was the culmination of an all day annual inspection, which the Islander Company successfully passed. Congrats to Commander Nesbitt, Senior Chief Hellwig, and our Islander Company cadets! On Thursday morning the field was filled with energetic elementary school joggers at the Village Elementary PTO Jogathon. Congrats to the PTO volunteers on another amazing and fun fundraiser!

One final push for participation in our Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) community survey. Please log into the ThoughtExchange survey here. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions with us!

Good luck to the CMS Advanced Performing Arts class on their spring production of “Newsies: The Musical” tonight and tomorrow night at 6pm. Get your tickets HERE.

Reminder: we have a short week next week before heading into Spring Break!

Have a safe and restful weekend,

Karl J. Mueller

If your student has a CUSD issued Chromebook, you are encouraged to review and consider purchasing the OPTIONAL Mobile Device Protection Plan (MDPP) for the 2023-2024 school year. The annual plan is designed to cover accidental damage of CUSD Chromebooks including screen breakage. In addition, the plan will protect against spills, fire, flood, natural disasters, and theft/loss. Mobile hotspots, power cords, cables, and other accessories are not covered. Intentional damage, improper device storage, and misuse are not covered.

The cost of the plan is $20 per device per year. The plan must be purchased annually at the beginning of each school year or at the time of registration to be valid. To maintain coverage, a new plan must also be purchased if a student is provided with a replacement device due to damage/loss of their previous device. This money will be used to create a dedicated pool of funding to replace or repair covered technology. All money collected through the program will go into a special account that can only be used to replace or repair technology that is covered in the plan. We highly recommend this low-cost protection plan.
