This three-year plan outlines the district's goals, actions, and expenditures to support positive outcomes for all students. All educational partner groups have a voice in the LCAP, including students and community members who met earlier in the month.

A big thanks to everyone who brought this day to life, including our Educational Services and Technology teams, presenters, custodial staff, departments that helped coordinate parking, and CVHS for hosting. #TeamCUSD, thank you for your commitment to being your best so our students can be their best! 🫶 For more photos, please see the CUSD Instructional Summit 2024 album on our Facebook page. #TeamCUSD #TheCeresWay

🚨 Children will be out and about this evening. 👻💀🧙♀️🍭 If driving or Trick-or-Treating, keep a wary eye out. 👀 For more tips like these from safekids.org, please visit https://www.safekids.org/tip/halloween-safety-tips:
🎃 Carry glow sticks or flashlights, use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and wear light colors to help kids see and be seen by drivers.
🎃 Join kids under age 12 for trick-or-treating.
🎃 Slow down and be alert! Kids are excited on Halloween and may dart into the street. Turn on headlights early in the day to spot kids from further away.
🎃 Remind kids to cross the street at corners or crosswalks.
🎃 When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls. Choose face paint instead of masks when possible. Masks can limit children’s vision.
