Are you a military family? Are you interested in learning more about our Military Family Life Counselor? His name is David Perlstein and he supports our military students and families. He can be reached at 619-517-2959

Did you know that if your child will be out for a special reason, and you do not want them to accrue an absence, you can request an independent study contract? Contact Shelley Acosta for more information: shelley.acosta@cvesd.org

We have been focused on the first 8 days of rolling out the 8 habits! Our first habit we will be focused on is Habit number 1 – Be Proactive. Students learn the importance of being Proactive instead of Reactive. We learn about strategies for self-regulation as well as being responsible for your actions, attitude, and effort.

There is research that shows the more school a student misses, the harder it is for them to keep a job in the future. For each day a child misses, it takes 3 days to make it up! If your child is not sick, they should be at school. Please use the school calendar to schedule routine Dr. and dentist appointments during the breaks when possible. Be sure to call Ms. Shelley (619-656-2030) whenever your child will be absent. Also, consider asking her about an Independent Study Contract for days you miss. Your child will recieve attendance credit.

Our average daily attendance goal is 96%. The first week of school, our average was 96.5%. Congratulations to the classrooms who met our goal!
