School Entry (Day 1 ONLY):

All students need to report to the Gym Entry Gate and then proceed to the Stage Area (immediate left after gate) to pick up their class schedules between 7:30 am and 8:50 am. Parents, please do not pull into Staff Parking lot to drop students off.

Schedule Pick-Up at the Stage (7:30 to 8:50 am)

Volunteers will be available to provide each student with their complete schedule of classes including their teachers and room numbers. After picking up their schedules, students will head to the lunch area. Although we understand, the first day of school brings a great deal of anxiety for parents and students, parents are not permitted onto campus. Please say your goodbyes at an earlier time and allow the Leopard staff the opportunity to help guide and support your student. If you need a photo opt, we will have our “LC” arch at the gate for a great background.

Q/Access to Schedules: Parents can access their student’s schedule on Q/Parent Connect at 12:00 pm on Monday, 8/19. Students should still pick up a paper copy at the stage on the first day of school in case there were any changes made.

A Period: Students with an A period class should plan on picking up their schedule between 7:30 and 7:55 am. A period classes begin at 8:04 am.

Band/Orchestra Students: Please DO NOT bring your instruments to school on the first day of school. Your teachers will notify you when it is time.

PE/Dressing: Students WILL NOT dress for the first few days of school. Students need to keep their uniform and PE locks at home or in their locker until notified by their PE teachers.

Student Support: The administration, counselors, teachers, and our leadership and WEB students will be greeting students as they enter school and pick up their schedule in order to help them locate their classes, lockers, and just provide a helpful hand as our new students navigate middle school for the first time.

Drop-off/Pick-Up: On the first day of school can be a bit confusing and chaotic. Please plan to arrive early to find a parking spot on the street or an easy place to drop off your student. The staff parking lot on Flores is CLOSED for all morning drop-offs so please look for locations along Flores or Erbes Rd. to park along the curb.

10 Minute Rule: Traffic subsides a great deal by 3:20 pm and is much easier to navigate to pick up your student.

Every student is assigned a book locker which is to be used and LOCKED for the entire school year. Lockers have been randomly assigned and there will be NO Locker change requests.

**Backpacks are to be stored in YOUR own locker, not on the floor or around campus.**

Every student will receive a chromebook to use for school work. Students are required to bring their chromebooks to school fully charged every day. Students will also be given cinch bags to carry their chromebooks in.

It is strongly recommended that parents/guardians purchase Chromebook Accidental Damage Protection (ADP) for only $25 to protect your device when there is damage. Open flyer below for more information on coverage. Click HERE to purchase now.

Remember, safety first. Students need to walk their bikes/scooters/skateboards on to campus. There is no riding on campus, this includes the front sidewalk of the school. Students, please look both ways and ride carefully to/from school. Please obey the helmet laws for all riders under age 18 when riding bikes, non-motorized scooters, skateboards and roller or in-line skates.

Please make sure your family completes the Annual Updates BEFORE Orientation. See below for instructions from the District Office.

If you are UNABLE to complete the update before Orientation, we will have computers set up at orientation to complete the process. This will increase the time it takes to get through all our orientation stations.

See the attachment for a step-by-step instruction guide to navigate the update.

Message from the District:

• Please complete the required Annual Updates for each of your CVUSD students by Monday, August 12, 2024.
• Annual Updates must be completed for every student, every year, even if the student has recently enrolled in CVUSD for the first time. We want to ensure that we have the most up-to-date information about your student(s) and that you are well informed about laws and policies pertaining to your child’s education.
• Please complete the update process in Q Parent Connection.
• For those that do not have access to Q Parent Connection, paper copies of the required Annual Updates forms may be obtained from Student Support Services at the CVUSD District Educational Center, 1400 E. Janss Road, Thousand Oaks, CA 91362 between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or from your child’s school upon their office reopening.

Please select the Council(s)/Committee(s) that you would like to receive information and updates on, approximately monthly. If you have students at multiple school sites, please submit the form for each school. Additionally, if you opted-in last year, please plan to do so annually. Importantly, should you choose to opt-in to receiving these updates, the parent/guardian representative for the Advisory Council(s)/Committees(s) and/or the administration will not share your email address with others. You also have the ability to opt-out at any time in the event you no longer wish to receive the Advisory Council/Committee information.

If you would like to learn more about these Advisory Councils/Committees, or other ways to get involved at CVUSD, please go to: https://www.conejousd.org/domain/1365
