TOP HEADLINES
The first Black History Week was celebrated in 1926. To mark the 100-year legacy of honoring Black history, culture, and achievements, the theme for the 2026 celebration is, “A Century of Black History Commemorations.” This theme also underscores the continued importance of acknowledging and celebrating the enduring impact of African Americans throughout our nation’s history.

The CVUSD invites the whole Conejo community to recognize and celebrate the hard work of our counselors and the deep dedication they have for our students, schools, and community. Their work indeed “amplifies student success” each and every day, which is the 2026 National School Counseling Week theme.
Please join us in showing appreciation for our School Counselors’ invaluable contributions all year through and especially this National School Counseling Week! Click here to learn more.
The school cafeteria menus for February are available on the My School Menus website!
📍 Important Reminder: School meals (breakfast and lunch) are available at NO COST for all students.
Student Experience Spotlight: STAND PROUD Grows 5th Grade Leadership & Community
Solving problems and working as a team is at the heart of the STAND PROUD program created by Fulcrum that our CVUSD fifth grade students have the opportunity to participate in. This annual program is two-fold, with students completing on-site field days at their schools and an off-site Ropes Course and activities in Malibu. It's a core-memory building experience for students as they (literally) climb to new heights, practice kindness, challenge themselves and support one another to gain leadership and team-building skills. Responsible Decision-Making, Social Emotional Learning, and Relationship Skills are also some of the components that are covered through this program.
We're so proud of our students for growing confidence, trying new things and cheering each other on every step of the way!
