News & Announcements

In order to provide the opportunity for our teachers and staff to receive additional training to prepare for school in the fall, CVUSD's instructional calendar has been modified as follows: 

Staff Professional Development/Work Day: August , 10th, 11th and 12th 
Start of school: August 13th 

This change does not impact the number of instructional days for students or the last day of school. Students will still have 180 days of instruction. We have simply adjusted instructional days within the calendar. Students were to have non instructional days on January 15, 2021 and March 31, 2021, but with the modified calendar, they will now be in school those two days. We sincerely appreciate your patience as we continue to finalize plans for instruction in the fall. Stay tuned, be well and stay safe.

Thank you for your interest in attending the Google Classroom for Families webinar. Due to the high demand,  we have added a session on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. We have also increased the number of participants allowed on Zoom for both events.

Classified Employees truly are the heart of our schools. Our school district (virtual or not) would not function without your support. You have continued to do great work to support schools, students, and families during these unprecedented times. Thank you! We appreciate you very much! Please stay well and be safe. Happy Classified Employees Week.

Happy National Week of the Teacher! Your magnificent impact on student learning and social emotional well being of our students has been highlighted more than ever in recent weeks during suspension of in-school instruction. On behalf of our Governance Team, I share with you our deepest gratitude for your continued commitment to students and families. We promise to continue our strong advocacy at the state and local level so that public education and educators like you continue to receive the attention and respect that you all deserve.

Last week, the much anticipated May Revise was released. Governor Newsom and his administration have been forced to make tough decisions for the revised Fiscal Year 2020-2021 budget due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The budget calls for a reduction of $12.3 billion for K-12 public education, a decrease of almost 20 percent from the proposed January education budget. These unprecedented cuts will undoubtedly impact our students and the educators who serve them. The proposed school funding reductions make the already difficult task of opening schools this fall in the midst of a pandemic that much more challenging.
