CVUSD's Communication Snapshot
2025-2026 School Year
Our Child Nutrition team features a special Harvest of the Month item in school cafeterias every Thursday to introduce students to nutritious, locally grown produce! Students from our Conejo Academy of Leadership and Language Immersion are once again partnering with our Child Nutrition team to taste-test and share facts (in English and Spanish) about the special Harvest of the Month item: snap peas.
Did You Know: Snap peas are crunchy, sweet and delicious! They can be enjoyed with a dip, added to salads or used in a stir-fry! Snap peas are a nutrient-dense, edible podded legume, packed with protein, fiber and vitamin K! Snap peas served in our cafeterias this month are California-grown. Watch the video below to learn more about this vegetable.

Did you know that California residents ages 16 and 17 who want to be future voters can pre-register to vote? It’s easy to do! Visit: registertovote.ca.gov and click on the “Pre-Register to Vote” button to complete the online Voter Registration Application.
With a pre-registration complete, as soon as future voters turn 18, at the time of the election, they can cast a ballot to vote. California High School Voter Education Weeks are: September 15-26, 2025 and April 13-24, 2026 - making now a great time to take advantage of the Pre-Register to Vote opportunity offered by the state of California.
Have you ever wondered what a typical day in the life of a school principal is like? Well, on Monday, March 30th, community members from local businesses and organizations had a unique opportunity to find out. The Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce and Conejo Valley Unified School District hosted the annual "Principal for a Half Day Program," which provided participants with the opportunity to shadow a CVUSD elementary, middle, or high school principal and experience their profession firsthand.
During the program, participants had the chance to observe classrooms, tour the schools, and gain insight into the exceptional educational experiences of students. Following the campus tours, a luncheon was held at the Palm Garden Hotel, where participants shared their personal experiences from their visits.
Thank you to the Chamber of Commerce and to the 45 community participants from a wide range of local businesses and organizations who took part in the 2026 Principal for a Half Day Program, helping to strengthen the connections between our schools and the broader community.
