Your Voice Matters: Take the Family Voice & School Experience Survey- Deadline extended to March 31st!

CNUSD families, students, staff, and community members are invited to participate in the Family Voice & School Experience Survey.

This survey is your opportunity to share what’s working well, what could be improved, and where the District should focus next. Feedback directly informs our Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), guiding District priorities, funding decisions, and how resources are allocated to best support students.

Parents are encouraged to submit a response for each school their child attends, or separately for each child if their experiences differ. Students and staff are also encouraged to share their perspectives.

Your feedback helps shape decisions about school culture, academics, programs, facilities, and student supports across CNUSD.

Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and ensure our schools reflect the voices and experiences of the entire CNUSD community.

Thank you for partnering with us to strengthen our schools and support every student’s success.
