As our educators, parents, and community come together to connect, challenge, and champion our students, we are humbled by the outpouring of compliments. What a positive testament to our CUSD family!

• Tami Bromley: Upon taking her students to lunch, Mrs. Bromley noticed another teacher having a hard time with a student. Mrs. Bromley didn't know the student, but saw a staff member in distress and decided to jump in and offer to help. This isn't the first time Mrs. Bromley has helped a teacher in need. She always is looking out for people and being supportive.
• Betsy Castillo is an amazing educator. She has been a wonderful support to my daughter this year. I appreciate her care for the high schoolers and the patience, time and energy she gives each student. I am truly grateful for her role at CHS!
• Kevin Goodenough goes above and beyond for his students each and everyday. He generously gives of his time every school day for office hours. He graciously gives up his morning, coming in early to help our students. We are so grateful to have such an exceptionally committed teacher and wanted him to know how appreciated he truly is!
• Erin O'Connell is the long term substitute VAPA teacher at Village. She has done an incredible job stepping in and delivering engaging and creative lessons for every pupil in Kindergarten through fifth grade. This recognizes her for her dedication to this role to maintain the high standard of arts instruction provided to our students. Thank you from the VAPA parent volunteers!

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 2024-2025 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 $30 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. To purchase a Mobile Device Protection Plan for your student, please use the instructions at the following link: Mobile Device Protection Plan Purchase Instructions.
