Coyote Valley Elementary School

Hi all, we just wanted to take a minute to let you know that we had an unplanned fire drill around 1:00 today. We were not expecting the alarm to sound and are investigating the cause now. That said, our students did amazing and walked to the fence in a calm, orderly process. We are aware that fire alarms can be scary for some students, and we try to ease their fears as much as possible. We encourage you to speak with your student this afternoon and discuss how the drill went with them. Special thanks to our local fire crew for coming by after the alarm. It's reassuring to know how quickly they will be here in case of a real emergency!

Good morning CVE families! We have received some questions about the income verification form. We apologize that it is confusing, and does not contain the information required to complete it. Please fill out the highlighted portions of the form in the picture below and ignore the language about ranges. If you have already filled it out differently, that is ok. As long as you listed the household size and income, we will be able to provide the information we need to determine our school's/district's funding from the state. Thank you all for your diligence and patience with the paperwork process. Have a great day!

Happy Monday! We just wanted to send out a reminder that students were sent home with paperwork to be signed by a parent/guardian. This packet includes the CVE student/parent handbook, the household income data form (which determines our funding from the state of CA), technology agreement, photo release form, and two optional forms- the bus agreement and the site council nomination form. Getting this paperwork back is important and helps get us set for a great school year! Students who bring back their signed papers will be entered for a chance to win gift cards to Rock and Rolled Ice Cream, Hardesters Market, and Stonefire Pizza. We start pulling names tomorrow, so the sooner they're back, the more opportunities there are to win!

Our school garden looks amazing! Just over a year ago it was a sea of overgrown weeds and broken planter boxes, but through the hard work of Audrey and Justin Montague, it is now thriving. What a fantastic place for our students to engage with nature, deepen their understanding of the lifecycle of plants, and learn how to cultivate a garden! Thank you so much Audrey and Justin!

What a great first week of school! Thank you to all of the students, staff, and families that made this such an amazing week. We're looking forward to a great year of learning and fun. Next week we are sending home our start-of-year paperwork packets on Monday. Every student who brings the completed packets back will be entered to win a gift card to Rock and Rolled Ice Cream, Stonefire, or Hardesters. We start pulling names on Tuesday, so the sooner they're back in, the more opportunities the students have to win! Big thanks to our amazing PTO for the prizes, and donations from Hardesters, Stonefire, and Rock and Rolled Ice Cream!

Good afternoon CVE, please see Superintendent Owens’ statement below regarding 6th grade students not moving to MMS for the upcoming school year. "NO 6th Grade Move Dear MUSD Families,I would like to provide clarification that MUSD will not be moving 6th grade students to the Middle School for the 2023/24 school year. As we discussed in a previous School Board meeting, we were able to move some things around. We were able to find room on our school campuses to accommodate the increased number of TK students for this year. We will need to consider facility options after this year due to the TK enrollment age which will be changing next year. We will likely see a growth in our TK numbers in the subsequent years. We intend to communicate our plan for the 2024/25 school year at our August School Board meeting. Sincerely, Thad Owens Superintendent, MUSD"
