Happy New Year! As we start 2026, we aim to set the stage for a strong and successful second half of the school year. The absolute best way to achieve this is by prioritizing consistent, on-time attendance from the very beginning.

We ask for your partnership in making excellent attendance a top priority for 2026:

• Be On Time: Starting the day on time sets students up for success and minimizes classroom disruption.
• Avoid Unnecessary Absences: Whenever possible, please schedule appointments outside of school hours.
• Communicate: If your student must be absent due to illness, please notify your school office immediately.

CVUSD is better together - let's make 2026 a year defined by growth, achievement, and outstanding attendance! Check out this video from our CVUSD Communications Department Volunteer High School Interns for more on the importance of maintaining good attendance.

In January 2025, our community was impacted by Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events. These events can occur with little to no advance notice and can result in our school campuses being without power for extended periods of time. Here is what to expect should a PSPS event occur:

• CVUSD school campuses will continue to be open when a school does not have power due to a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) initiated by Southern California Edison.
• Consideration to not open schools would include evacuation orders or if a school facility was deemed to be unsafe.
• Students and families rely on our schools to provide safe spaces, meaningful social connections, nutritious meals, engaging teaching and learning, and caring relationships with staff. Schools create a sense of stability amidst times of uncertainty.

• If you are enrolling your student for the first time in a CVUSD school for the 2026-2027 school year, you will need to first complete the online Pre-Enrollment form to enroll your child at their assigned neighborhood school.

School Choice Application

• The majority of CVUSD’s students attend their assigned neighborhood school via the Neighborhood School Enrollment process. For families who would like to enroll their student in a CVUSD school other than their assigned neighborhood school, this may be completed via the School Choice Application process.
• For the 2026-2027 school year, School Choice Applications that are submitted between Monday, November 3, 2025 and Monday, February 2, 2026 will be considered “on-time” and included in the lottery process.
• 💡 Important: All *new* CVUSD students must first enroll at their assigned neighborhood school via the Online Pre-Enrollment Form before submitting a School Choice Application.
• The School Choice Application for the 2026-2027 School Year is available to complete online here.
