Principal’s Message—I’m so pleased to share that we	Week at a Glance had a successful practice week with our K-6 in-person/     Mon.,November 30

hybrid students. Each practice day allowed us to reevaluate our procedures and make adjustments as needed. We can’t thank our community enough for staying informed, following protocols, and helping make our transition to onsite learning seamless. As we continue to return students back to campus safely, we’d like to ask parents to help out by reminding their student(s) to wear their mask at all times, even while walking to the restroom and to pick up locations. In addition, to maximize the effectiveness of the mask, please ensure your students cover their nose with their masks. As we return all K-6th hybrid students back to class on November 30, after the Thanksgiving break, please note that parents will not be permitted into the interior of the campus to wait outside the classroom
door for pick up. This is an extra pre-cautionary meas-

On December 1st your child’s teacher will be supplying you with a rear-view mirror “student/teacher name” placard so our staff can easily identify who you’re picking up. Until we see you back on campus on November 30th, have a wonderful, safe Thanksgiving!

Quote of the Week

“No kind action ever stops with itself. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all direc-tions, and the roots spring up to make new trees. The great-est work kindness does to oth-ers is that it makes them kind themselves.”

-Amelia Earhart

Celebrations Around the World

The Feast of Nicholas, or Saint Nicho-las Day is one of the most important winter festivals in Europe. ST, Nicho-las is a Christian saint famous for his generosity, especially to children. St Nicholas Eve is celebrated on Decem-ber 5 and St. Nicholas Day is Dec. 6, the day on which St. Nicholas is thought to have died. Nicholas was a Christian bishop in what is now south-western Turkey. He was respected for his holiness although little is known about his life. There are many legends about his deeds!

Did you know? CUSD’s

Zero Tolerance Policy—It is the policy of the Governing Board to promote harmonious hu-man relationships that enable students to gain a true understanding of the rights and duties of people in our society. To further this in-tent, each school is responsible for creating a safe school environment conducive to student learning. A safe school environment miti-gates against anxiety-producing or demeaning incidents taking place within the confines of the school. The Governing Board declares the schools operated by CUSD to have a zero tolerance policy (BP2110) applicable to: Sex-ual assault or battery, battery, possession of, selling or furnishing a firearm, possession of a knife, or possession of a dangerous object, possession of an explosive or explosive de-vice, sale, furnishing, in possession or under the influence of alcohol, a controlled sub-stance, or any other form of intoxicant, van-dalism where property damage exceeds $100, repeated mutual combat, robbery, extortion or participating in gang motivated intimidation, hate motivated behavior, assault or threaten-ing of school staff and terroristic threats. Stu-dents in violation of the Zero Tolerance Poli-cy shall be suspended and considered for ex-pulsion and/or voluntary transfer.
