In honor of National Inclusive Schools Week (December 8-12), CVUSD would like to celebrate Inclusion Heroes at the December 17, 2025 Board of Education meeting.

An Inclusion Hero is an individual who has a passion for ensuring all students have equal access and opportunity - particularly students who have historically been marginalized - and who turns this passion into action by modeling inclusivity in their day-to-day work.

Nominate a teacher, staff member or administrator in recognition of their dedication to creating a community of inclusivity, kindness, and respect, which enhances learning for ALL students by completing this form by Friday, November 21st at 5:00pm.

CVUSD is proud to provide all students with a Chromebook through the District’s 1:1 Program. While Chromebooks are provided at no cost to families, proper use and care of the Chromebook is the responsibility of the student and their parent/guardian. To support this program, CVUSD is offering Chromebook Accidental Damage Protection (ADP) program for families to eliminate the concern and costs of repairing or replacing damaged, or stolen Chromebooks.

The enrollment window to purchase Chromebook ADP for your student's Chromebook for the 2025-2026 school year will be closing on Sunday, November 30th.

Our Child Nutrition team is continuing to explore new ways to make school meals exciting, nutritious, and delicious. Recently, students from two schools joined in on the taste-testing fun:

• At Wildwood Elementary School, students enjoyed fresh tastings of Granny Smith apples, locally grown Modi apples, and kiwis. They learned that Modi apples are grown right here in Ventura County, a reminder of how close we are to fresh, healthy, local produce!
• Meanwhile, at Newbury Park High, students sampled chicken wings with three flavorful dipping sauces and voted for their favorite.

We love seeing our students discover new foods and share their feedback.

Important Note: The Federal Government shutdown does not affect meal service in the Conejo Valley Unified School District. All students will continue to be offered a free breakfast meal and a free lunch meal every school day, served by our dedicated Child Nutrition team.
