Panther Prowl

As we are now into December, we'd like to wish all our Panther families a happy holiday season. That also means that the end of the first semester is almost upon us. As a reminder, parents, grades do not carry over into the second semester. Upon returning from Winter Break on January 14, 2019, your student will begin with a clean slate in regards to grades. With less than two weeks to go, it is imperative that struggling students take advantage of every opportunity provided by teachers to gain some extra support. Have your child see his/her teachers for those potential opportunities.

Enjoy the Panther Prowl for December 7, 2018. RAWR!

Respectfully,

Antonio Gonzalez, Ed.D.

• Earlier in the week, AVID students have been preparing to participate in the RIMS AVID Write-off. This year's topic addresses the pros and cons to free college.
• We were thrilled to have one of our notable Corona graduates (Class of 2013) and former AVID students, Natalie Reyes, come and speak to some of our current AVID students. She just earned her BA (double major) and masters degree from the University of Southern California (USC) in just 5 years! Her guest appearance was a way to help motivate our students and keeping them focused on the AVID mission. Way to go, Natalie!

The Annual California Healthy Kids Survey will be administered in 9th and 11th grade English Language Arts (ELA) classes within the coming weeks. A copy of the survey is available in the front office for review. Your child should have brought home the passive consent form 2 weeks ago. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's participation in the survey, please contact Mrs. Bogner at kbogner@cnusd.k12.ca.us or your child's ELA teacher.

• Passive Consent--Permission Request Regarding Health Survey–High School

Dear Parent or Guardian,

We are requesting your permission for your child to be a part of our school’s California Healthy Kids Survey sponsored by the California Department of Education. This important survey will help provide data to improve the school learning environment, academic achievement, and the health and well-being of our youth. It includes questions about drug abuse, safety and violence, risk of depression and suicide, and sexual orientation.

Student participation is voluntary and anonymous. Your child does not have to take the survey. No names or any other identifying information is connected to the answers except for the name of the school.

Student participation requires your permission. We hope you will encourage participation so that your child’s opinion and knowledge can be part of the information gleaned from the survey. If you do not want your child to complete the survey, you must notify the school by returning the “withdrawal form” that was sent home.

Our district is hosting a student poetry showcase on December 6th. All CNUSD students are encouraged to participate and show off their poetry skills. Please see the flyer below for more information.

Due to the recent fires in California, the Cal State college application deadline has been extended to December 15th. The only UC campus to give an extensions is UC Merced until December 15th; no other UC campuses have given extensions and their window has now closed.

Be sure to follow our counseling department via their Twitter account @CoronaHScounsel for the latest counseling updates. You can also stay current with text updates by signing up for your appropriate grade level:
