“A SMOOTH SEA NEVER MADE A SKILLED SAILOR.”

- Franklin D. Roosevelt

Good Afternoon, CUSD,

We have some exciting news to share! Both Village and Silver Strand elementary schools have been named Project Lead The Way Distinguished Schools. The designation recognizes schools for STEM curriculum and career readiness and is given to a select number of elementary schools across the country. Shout out to our Learning Department and site administrators for implementing the PLTW Launch curriculum, our two amazing iLab teachers, and of course to the Coronado Schools Foundation for funding our Innovation Labs so that students can have access to robust STEM experiences in innovative, creative spaces.

Read more details about the PLTW Distinguished School designation in our newsroom!

Thank you to everyone who registered for the 2024-25 school year. We are already planning staffing and programs for next year, which is dependent on the number of students we have in each grade level. Parents/Guardians who have completed the registration process will receive notification that their registration has been received and that the application is in PENDING status. The child will officially be enrolled after turning in required forms to the site registrar in August.

As of today, we are at approximately 30% of anticipated registrants. Our goal is 80% by Monday, May 6th. If you haven’t registered yet, please log on this weekend and let us know whether or not your child will be returning next year.

As a reminder, beginning on Monday, we will place a Force Registration on ParentVUE accounts. The program will allow ParentVUE users to log into their account 2 times with a message to register. On the third visit users will be unable to proceed into ParentVUE without registering their child(ren).

START THE REGISTRATION PROCESS HERE!

Have a great weekend!

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.
