Student Privacy Protocols and Resources
Recent changes to the sensitive locations policy have created some confusion and anxiety amongst many of our families and community members. I want to assure you that at Northview High School and Covina Valley Unified, we stand in unity with our students, families, and staff. Our superintendent, Dr. Elizabeth Eminhizer, reminded all community members of the following safety protocols that are in place in all of our schools:
A single point of public entry that requires all visitors, including law enforcement, to enter through the office at all preschool through grade 12 campuses, except Fairvalley, where security fencing is in the process of being installed.
Policies that prohibit the release of confidential student information, even to law enforcement, without the appropriate subpoena.
School office staff and administration follow protocols when law enforcement officials or outside agencies request to see a child or ask for confidential or personal student information.

Attendance Matters!
Northview's average daily attendance for the week was 94.9% for the week from 1/27 to 1/31 -- a 0.9% drop from last week. Let’s keep striving for even better attendance as we approach the 100th day of school.
