Being around people who are different from us makes us more creative, diligent, and hard-working.
Here are 5 reasons WHY... Diversity is Important in the 21st Century:
1. Growing Acceptance, Diminishing Discrimination
2. Supports becoming GLOBAL CITIZENS
3. Creates a kaleidoscope of valuable perspectives
4. Enriches Life Experiences
5. Improves Productivity!
How does CNUSD embrace the benefits of DIVERSITY IN THE WORKPLACE?
By supporting Professional Learning Communities (PLC's) which promotes ongoing professional collaboration which ultimately contributes to improved student achievement.

🌷 🐰 Here's a little "Spring" Trivia about how this Season Got Its Name 🌸 🌱 💐☔Share with your Kiddos & maybe pose a quick "Exit Ticket" question! 🐰⛅
- 🌱 The spring season gets its name from the verb "spring." It's a nod to the flowers and plants springing up, springing open, and bursting into blossom.
- 🐣 The word itself comes from the Old English word "springan," which means "to leap, burst forth, fly up; spread, grow."
- 🌸 During the 14th century, the word came to describe the spring season, the time when plants wake from their winter sleep and bloom.
- 🌅 Before that, the word "Lent" was used to describe the season: "In the past it was the main word for ‘spring.' Lent surfaced as ‘lencten,' that is, ‘lengten': the season got its name because in spring days lengthen." (full article here)

Attendance Resource for our CNUSD Families!
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), 16% percent of students who were absent for at least a day in the past year and missed school for reasons other than physical illness, said they didn't attend because of anxiety. Twelve percent of those students surveyed in grades 3rd-12th said they felt too sad or depressed to attend. And according to an article on "Anxiety in Schools" in Education Weekly, 37% of students reported anxiety disorders and 28% reported symptoms of depression.
