Coronado High School’s 2026-2027 School Profile

Attendance

• Absences: In the event of an absence, it is imperative that it is reported within 24 hours.To make reporting an absence easier, parents/guardians should submit the Attendance Verification Form for Parents 2026-27 (save this link for easy access)
• If you have any questions concerning attendance verification, please contact Rina Parodi via email at rina.parodi@coronadousd.net or call at (619)522-8907 ext. 2094
• Tardies: If a student is tardy, they must check in at the front office and receive a pass to class. In accordance with our cell phone policy, at that time they will turn in their cell phone and pick it up at the end of that class period. This reduces interrupting instructional time for in class cell phone collection.

Lunch: Students are expected to return to campus on time for period 3. Arriving tardy to 3rd period may result in having lunch detention the following day. Also, thank you for reminding your student that respectful behavior on and off campus is an expectation of all CHS Islanders.

Tardy Sweeps: CHS administration holds unannounced tardy sweeps periodically throughout the school year. Students arriving after the class period tardy bell will be directed to the multipurpose room (MPR) where they will check in with their student ID and be marked tardy. Within a few minutes after checking in, they will be sent to class. Additionally, in alignment with our classroom cell phone policy and to minimize distractions and encourage engagement, phones will be collected. Students may pick them up from the front office at the end of their school day.

Campus Safety: Guests are required to always check in at the front office. ALL visitors must present their identification when visiting campus.

BIKES and SAFETY:

• Bike Safety: Bikes and E-Bikes: Please remind your student to wear their helmet and follow all traffic laws while riding their bikes to school. We have had a of lot e-bikes running stop signs, going extremely fast, and some close calls with cars and pedestrian accidents. Our top priority is to keep our students and community safe at all times.
• Bike Racks: Students must park in the bike racks inside the 7th Street school gate. Parking around the school perimeter interferes with traffic, maintenance, and safety. Reminder: students are encouraged to always lock their bikes and helmets.

CELL PHONE POLICY:

To protect valuable instructional time and minimize distractions, we are implementing a mandatory, campus-wide cell phone policy in all classrooms.

Standard Classroom Procedure

• The Rule: At the start of every class period, all students are required to place their cell phones in their assigned slot in the classroom lockbox.

• The Duration: Lockboxes will be locked immediately when the bell rings. Phones must remain in the lockbox for the duration of the class period and may only be retrieved at the end of the period.

What If a Student is Tardy?

Because classroom phone boxes are locked immediately at the start of the period:

• Tardy students must turn in their cell phones at the front office upon arrival.

• Students can retrieve their phones from the front office at the end of that class period.

Cell phones are not to be carried outside of the classroom during a class period. Students who have their cell phones in the bathrooms, hallways, on the quad, etc. during class time will result in immediate confiscation, a phone referral, and the phone will be sent directly to the office to be picked up at the end of the day.

Airpods and Headphones: All listening devices are required to be in backpacks during class time.

Smart watches and other smart devices are required to be in backpacks during class time.

• Confiscation guidelines follow the same protocols as phones.

Failure to follow the CHS Cell Phone Policy will result in the progressive disciplinary actions detailed in the handbook: Please refer to page 48 of the Student and Family Handbook for the complete policy.

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our classrooms focused, respectful, and dedicated to learning.

CUSD Chromebooks and Device Requirements

Dear CHS Families:

Coronado Unified School District is committed to preparing students for success in school and beyond. Part of this preparation includes exposing students to technology and guiding them in its appropriate uses. We are happy to continue providing 1st through 12th grade CUSD students with a Chromebook, case and charger for educational use at school and at home. This 1:1 Student Device Program will continue for the 2026-2027 school year.

As part of this program, all Coronado High School students are required to bring a fully charged device to school daily. Students who need a device will have the opportunity to check-out a Chromebook during scheduled pick-up.

• NEW as of 26-27: All CHS students are required to have a school issued Chromebook at the start of the school year.

• Students Using Personal Devices: CHS students who have personal devices at home may use their own device as an alternative to a CUSD Chromebook. If your student chooses to use a personal device, however, please note that it will not have specific CUSD features, such as testing lockdown browsers and content filters. If your student chooses to use their own device for daily school work, they will still be issued a CUSD Chromebook for course-specific requirements and/or local testing and state testing in Spring 2027.

• Please note, a school issued Chromebook is required for certain CHS classes. If a course syllabus states that a school issued Chromebook is to be used in that class, this policy will be enforced and upheld. Students may not use their personal device in classes that require a school issued Chromebook.

• Students Using CUSD Devices: CHS students who check-out a CUSD Chromebook for their daily school work may keep the device for the duration of their enrollment at CHS, including summers. Students will practice responsibility for operating and maintaining their individual CUSD devices throughout their time at CHS. We also encourage families to purchase the OPTIONAL Mobile Device Protection Plan for CUSD Chromebooks for just $30 a year to limit any fines due to accidental damage. The Protection Plan must be purchased annually within two weeks of the beginning of the school year in order to be valid. A new Protection Plan must also be purchased if a student is provided with a replacement device due to damage/loss of their previous device. This plan only covers the device (NOT the case and charger).
