Good Afternoon, CUSD,

Thank you to everyone who participated in the many events and meetings taking place within the district this week. Our district is better when we collaborate! This week we hosted a Facilities Master Planning Committee meeting, Budget Study meeting, District Safety Committee meeting, and my favorite, the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Committee at CHS.

Next Thursday 10/17 is our governing board meeting. The meeting agenda will be available HERE after Monday at 4pm.

Check out this fun feature story about our CMS Tritons showing their Padre Pride on 10News San Diego!

Next Friday will be busy in the district with two big events happening - the Harvest Hoedown hosted by Village Elementary PTO from 4-7pm, and DIG PINK hosted by CHS girls volleyball to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer, from 4:30-8:30pm in the gym. Everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy great food, entertainment, and tons of fun at both of these events. For more details on both please see flyers below.

Don’t forget there is no school on Monday. Enjoy your three day 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 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.

If you do not purchase the Mobile Device Protection Plan for your student’s device, the following fees will apply should damage occur:

Damage Type and Replacement Cost Plus Tax

Chromebook - Full Replacement $400

Damaged Keyboard $80

Damaged Screen $80

Damaged Motherboard $160
