CVESD LCAP Information

The Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) wants to hear from you! As part of our Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) process, we are hosting an in-person and online forum for families, students, and community members to participate in our annual LCAP survey. The LCAP survey is part of CVESD’s annual efforts to ensure that our resources are being allocated to meet the needs of our diverse student population.

What is LCAP?

The LCAP is a three-year plan that includes specific goals and actions to improve student outcomes and measurable indicators to track progress and outlines how the district plans to allocate resources, including state and local funding. It is an essential component of the Local Control Funding Formula, which requires school districts to create an annual plan that lists goals, defines outcomes, details actions, and tracks expenditures.

Dear Olympic View Families and Friends,

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family! School Resumes MONDAY, NOV. 27, regular day schedule.

It’s Giving Tuesday – a day of global generosity which unleashes the power of people and organizations to transform their communities! As you know our school partners with the South Bay YMCA on campus. They provide a valuable service to many of our families. They also provide scholarships to needy families. That is why I choose to support the Y not only with my time but in my charitable giving. Please join me today in making a gift to the South Bay YMCA to support children, families and seniors.

You can make a donation to my personal fundraising page in just seconds by CLICKING HERE

Every gift makes an incredible difference! Please feel free to share with any of your friends or family as well.

Thank you for not only supporting my efforts to raise funds for the Y, but also giving back to your community! I appreciate you!”

We hope you will join us! This is a FREE event!

CHULA VISTA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT SUMMARY OF WELLNESS POLICY (BP 5030)

The Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) recognizes the link between student health and learning and is committed to providing a healthy school environment that promotes student and staff wellness, proper nutrition, nutrition education, and regular physical activity. The CVESD Wellness Policy (BP 5030) was revised August 9, 2017. It updates and reflects changes to all federal, state, local, and District guidelines. Additionally, the policy was re-organized and headings added for clarity and organizational purposes.

• Prohibiting food items in celebration of a student’s birthday on the school site during the school day.
• Permitting no more than two parties/celebrations with food for each class, per school year, to be scheduled after lunch whenever possible. All food items should be store-bought, pre-packaged, and/or pre-wrapped for food safety and allergies.
