From July 11-14, Nicolás A. and Emilio A., both students at ACP High School, competed in the Karate Nationals held in Lafayette, Louisiana. This year, they elevated their performance by participating in the Elite Kumite division within their respective weight classes and age groups.

Nicolás demonstrated considerable potential by securing a top-10 position in his division, and he is now more motivated than ever to advance further in the ranks next year.

Emilio's performance at the tournament was particularly outstanding as he won the gold medal, earning the title of 2024 National Champion. This victory also secured him a spot on the Jr. USA team and provided him with the opportunity to represent the USA at the Jr. Pan American Games in Brazil in late August, as well as at the Jr. World Games in Italy in mid-October.

CUSD high school students often visit elementary schools as mentors. Recently, Chandler High School ROTC trained Hartford 6th graders on how to raise, lower, and fold our flag.

We are excited to introduce Lightspeed Tipline to Chandler USD! Our goal is to help foster a safer community by giving students, staff and community members a way to easily share important information to the right people, anonymously.

How does it work?

1. A user can submit a ‘tip’ via the online form, phone (voicemail) or email
2. The tip is reviewed by a Safety Specialist on the 24/7 Lightspeed Human Review (HR) team
3. If concerning, the Safety Specialist will follow the same process as an Alert escalation. You will always receive an email, and in addition if there is something imminent then we will leverage your organization’s escalation list to make a phone call and/or contact local authorities.

Students may use Lightspeed to report:

• Bullying
• Planned fights
• Students in crisis
• Threats of violence
• Weapons brought to school
• Other urgent situations

CALL: (512) 540-3773

Families, we are grateful for your support when it comes to sharing the above video with your children. Additionally, the poster below will be displayed throughout CUSD secondary schools. By working together, we ensure our children continue to learn and thrive in positive environments. Student success begins with US in CUSD!

The Chandler Unified School District has established procedures to effectively and efficiently respond to questions and suggestions from parents and community members. This guide is meant to serve as a resource for parents and community members to identify the district staff that would have the most information to provide answers to questions and concerns. If you have any questions or concerns related to the school district or your child’s progress, please do not hesitate to call. The Chandler Unified School District is here to meet the needs of all students, staff, parents and community members.

Chandler City Council has adopted laws that prohibit unruly gatherings and people under 18 from possessing brass knuckles. Visit chandleraz.gov/teenviolence for details.

Police can disperse an unruly gathering and cite or charge those responsible. Parents and guardians can face violations for permitting unruly gatherings and for actions of their children under 18 at unruly gatherings.

An unruly gather occurs when one or more of these circumstances exist on private or public property:

· excessive noise

· obstructing streets

· Illegal drugs

· person under 21 possessing or consuming alcohol

· fighting

· disturbing the peace

· littering

For people under 18, brass knuckles are off-limits - no exceptions. The law prohibits stores from selling brass knuckles to people under 18. Violators can be charged and receive penalties up to $2,500, with jail time and probation.

Families and staff, we continue to encourage you to register your ParentSquare account at www.parentsquare.com/signin and download the FREE ParentSquare app. By registering your ParentSquare account, you can customize your language and notification settings. If you do not wish to register the account or download the app, you will still receive ParentSquare messages since ParentSquare sends to the email address you have on file in Infinite Campus. ParentSquare allows you to determine when and how you want communication from the school, classroom, and district.

You may have also heard about StudentSquare. If you have ever used Remind, ParentSquare bought Remind and offers students in grades 7-12 similar features and more. Students ONLY in grades 7-12 can download the free StudentSquare app to get alerts about school events, tryouts, important dates, etc. like Remind was used for, but the app is not required. Any posts schools do on ParentSquare where they include 7-12 students in the audience will go to the student’s GSE (Google email). App not required…just for convenience. No student cell numbers used EVER as posts go to their GSE emails. So again, no app or phone required. It can all be done on the StudentSquare web interface.

Transportation is hiring for Bus Drivers! Want to be a positive impact in a child's life? This is your opportunity! Visit cusd80.com/apply.
