This process enables us to hear your ideas, and learn about priorities. There are three steps that you will be invited to participate in:

1. Share – answer open-ended questions about education in our schools
2. Star – review ideas from other stakeholders and star the ideas you like best
3. Discover – learn what is important to the community as a whole

On February 12, you will receive an email invitation to participate in this survey. Thanks in advance for your participation. We look forward to hearing your ideas!

CVESD’s Annual Notice of Physical Education Requirements

Our District focuses on providing the highest quality educational experience for all students. Evidence of that commitment is a high quality physical education (P.E.) program in our schools. Per California Education Code 51210(g), first through sixth grade teachers are required to teach 200 minutes of physical education over 10 instructional days. It is at the discretion of the school as to how and when these minutes are distributed over this time frame. We want to reassure you that student health and wellness are a priority in our schools. Click here for more information about our Annual Notice of Physical Education Requirements.

SMS Text Messaging Option is Available for Parent Notifications

Parents are encouraged to opt-in to receive text message alerts from the school and/or district. The District’s School Messenger parent notification system can already send messages to parents via email and automated telephone calls. However, you can also subscribe to receive SMS alerts (text messages). To opt-in to the service, text “subscribe” to 68453

* You will know if you were successful if you receive the following SMS response: “You are registered to receive approx. 3 msgs/mo. Txt STOP to quit, HELP for help.”

* You can unsubscribe at any time. Text the word, stop, to 68453.

NOTE: Although the District does not charge you for this service, text message charges may be incurred by you for sending or receiving text messages. Check with your wireless carrier for more information about your plan and/or possible charges.

The District Has An Online Bullying Incident Reporting System

Please note that any report submitted using the system remains anonymous and is kept confidential. Anyone reporting an incident has the option of including their contact information for follow-up.
