Federal Impact Survey Cards

Federal funds are provided to the school district based on the number of students enrolled in our schools whose parents/guardians reside or work on federal property or are on active duty in the military. All families are asked to complete the form, even if they are not active duty or living on federal property. Forms were sent home on Monday, November 6, 2023. Please make sure to return the yellow form as soon as possible. Thank you to everyone who has already acted swiftly and turned in the forms.

See below for more information about the forms, including how to complete the forms. Thank you!

ATTENDANCE MATTERS!

Students need to be at school every day and on time. Please make sure your child is here by 8:10 a.m. and lined up on the blacktop (1st-6th grade) or by the classroom (TK-kinder). Let’s continue to improve our attendance! If your child must be out sick, please contact the office at 619-421-4798 or raquel.serratosgarc@cvesd.org to excuse the absence. Remember to bring a doctor’s note. Vacations, dentist, and doctor visits should be scheduled during our breaks whenever possible. If your child misses school, they are missing out on important learning! Our school staff will be meeting with parents/guardians, calling home, and doing home visits for students who are chronically absent.

Our TK-6th grade attendance average: 94% (Goal is 96% or higher)
Yearly to date (7/19/23-11/3/23) average attendance: 95.1% (Goal is 96%)
