At the Wednesday, September 6, 2023 Board of Education meeting, Resolution #23/24-03 In Support of National Bullying Prevention Month was approved. The goal of recognizing National Bullying Prevention Month in the CVUSD is to encourage parents, students, and staff to unite against bullying and share the message that no one deserves to be bullied. Students, staff, and parents are encouraged to “Take the Pledge” against bullying by treating others with kindness, being more accepting of people’s differences, and helping to include those who are left out.

This coming Wednesday, October 4, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alerts. This test will send a message to all smart televisions, radios, and cell phones.

This will be the third nationwide test, but the second test, to all cellular devices. The test message will display in either English or in Spanish, depending on the language settings of the wireless handset.

The test will take place at at approximately 11:20 p.m. PT on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2023.

According to the fema.gov website, the purpose of the October 4 test is to ensure that the systems continue to be effective means of warning the public about emergencies, particularly those on the national level. In case the October 4 test is postponed due to widespread severe weather or other significant events, the back-up testing date is October 11.
