Quote of the Week

“Heroism doesn’t always happen in a burst of glory. Sometimes small triumphs and large hearts change the course of history.” – Mary Roach

Being a hero isn’t always about big, dramatic moments. On Memorial Day, we remember the brave men and women who made sacrifices—big and small—to protect our country. Their courage shows us that even everyday people can make a powerful difference.

8th Grade Promotion is almost here: Thursday, June 5, 9:00 am. Students will report to school at regular time and families will have access to the field at 8:45 am.

Library Materials

We are nearing the end of the School year, and it is time to return any library books that you have checked out and pay any outstanding fees on your account. Please take note of the following dates:

FRIDAY, MAY 23 - DEADLINE FOR RETURNING ITEMS

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2- DEADLINE FOR MAKING PAYMENTS.

Examples of outstanding school materials that should be turned in right away are: Chromebook chargers, class novels, books, old textbooks, or materials from another school in the district that were never returned.

Students WILL BE allowed to keep their current Chromebooks and chargers over the summer, so those devices DO NOT need to be returned.

Special note for 8th grade families:

Incoming freshman students CANNOT get their high school schedules until all remaining CHM fines are paid and all overdue CHM materials are returned. CHM Yearbooks may not be distributed to students who have unpaid fines.

Please return items and submit payments in person to our Library Media Technician, Daniela Lopez, (please pay with exact change or a check made out to CUSD). If you have any questions, or financial concerns please email daniela.lopez@carlsbadusd.net.

Yearbook Distribution & Sales Information

Yearbooks will be distributed to students during their advisory classes on Wednesday, June 4th.

If you haven’t purchased a yearbook yet, there’s still time! Yearbooks will be available for purchase during the last week of school for $55 (cash only). Bring your payment to Mrs. Kane in Room 209 or to the main office between Monday, June 2nd and Thursday, June 4th.
