Good Afternoon, CUSD,

It’s been a quiet, short week in the district. Last week the Governing Board heard an update on the January 22nd flooding that affected our village campuses. Repairs are nearly complete and all spaces have been cleared for safe air quality. Fortunately all remediation and repair costs will be covered through our insurance.

As you may be aware, our district, following a state-wide trend, is experiencing declining local enrollment. Our goal is to add 100 new students to CUSD for the 2024-25 school year, which will not only help us maintain valuable educational programs, but also enrich our school community. Last week we opened the Interdistrict Transfer application process. If you know a family who might be interested in this opportunity please share the flyer below or this link to the Interdistrict Transfer Pre Application.

Next Tuesday (2/27) at 6pm CoSA is hosting a preview night for prospective new students and families. If you have a student who will attend CHS next year at any grade level and might be interested in joining our premier public school arts conservatory please come and find out more information on the six conservatories that make up the CoSA program. See details below

Congratulations to the CHS Girls Water Polo team on clinching an incredible third CIF Division 1 title with their win over Santana HS last weekend. Well done Islanders!!

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.
