September is Attendance Awareness Month!

Let’s work together to knock out chronic absenteeism and ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive. When students attend school regularly, they build stronger relationships, stay on track academically, and are more likely to graduate ready for college, career, and life.

Why Attendance Matters

Regular attendance helps students succeed in school and in life. When students show up consistently, they:

Build friendships and important social skills
Feel emotionally supported and connected
Gain confidence in class and stay on top of classwork
Develop habits that lead to future success

Help promote positive attendance at home because every day counts!

Words Matter: Threats, Real or Fake, Carry Serious Consequences

Parents, we encourage you to please talk to your child about the impact their words may have and share this video with them. Threats, real or fake, are taken seriously and may have legal consequences. As always, we appreciate your partnership in reinforcing with our students the importance of being mindful of their words, of their social media posts, and their jokes.

C.A.R.E Hubs Providing Support to the CNUSD Community

We’re thrilled to announce an important enhancement to how we serve and support our families: CNUSD’s Parent Center has expanded into five, locally-based C.A.R.E (Community- Access- Resources-Emotional Wellness) Hubs, located at high schools throughout the District. This expansion is part of our ongoing commitment to equity, access, and community connection.

C.A.R.E Hub Locations:

Centennial HS
Santiago HS
Roosevelt HS
Norco HS
Corona HS

These hubs—opening for the 25-26 school year—will bring essential family support services closer to our communities, including academic resources, enrollment help, wellness referrals, digital literacy, and more. The expansion is designed to improve convenience, deepen school-site engagement, and tailor support to the specific needs of each region.

Staying Prepared: CNUSD’s Inclement Weather Protocols

CNUSD continues to use Perry Weather as our weather monitoring and alerting system. Perry Weather is designed to enhance safety by providing real-time, location-specific weather data and alerts. This will help provide consistent weather and air quality readings across the District.

During the hot summer months or times of poor air quality in Southern California, we are likely to experience inclement weather days in which extra precautions will be taken to keep students safe from inclement weather. Click the link below to learn more about our inclement weather protocols.
