September 1st marks the start of Attendance Awareness Month! This is a time to focus on the importance of attending school daily. CVUSD acknowledges that good attendance matters, and improving attendance and reducing chronic absenteeism takes commitment and collaboration.

The theme for the 2025 Attendance Awareness Month is "Here Today, Ready for Tomorrow!" This theme emphasizes the link between school attendance and achieving future goals and dreams, and encourages a focus on the importance of every school day for learning, building relationships, and accessing support.

Please join the Conejo Valley Unified School District in raising awareness about the impact of attendance on student success. Click here to learn more.

Join us for a free Parent/Guardian workshop on Monday, September 29th at 6pm. This event, "School Success - Supporting Your Child's Academic Journey," is designed to equip families with practical strategies to support their child's learning and overall academic growth.

During this session, parents will explore practical ways to create a positive learning environment at home, understand key academic expectations, and foster strong communication with teachers and school staff. The workshop will also provide tips on study habits, time management, and accessing school resources.

Hosted by the CVUSD's BreakThrough Student Assistance Program and The Conejo Schools Foundation with presenters: Dr. Dena Sellers, Director of Elementary Education; Shane Frank, Director of Middle School Education; and Nicole Judd, Director of High School Education. This event will empower parents to be confident partners in their child’s educational journey.

The Ventura County SELPA has 21 school districts.

What is the CAC?

The Community Advisory Committee or CAC is an advisory body to the SELPA made up of parent representatives from each district and agency representatives.

Did you catch us on the big screen this summer? Our Newbury Park High School transformed into Sunset Ridge High for the Freaky Friday sequel released last month. Our Panthers' quad, classrooms, stadium and more were home of the Dolphins in the movie blockbuster.

The funds earned from outside entities filming on our CVUSD campuses are placed into what the District calls "deferred maintenance" to use/reinvest back into the CVUSD's campus facilities.
