"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out."
— Robert Collier
Every assignment, every practice session, and every positive choice adds up. Small steps can lead to big accomplishments over time.

We are looking forward to our first ROCKIN’ Coyote Celebration of the year on November 13. Remember, students must clear all zeros by November 6 to be eligible. In addition students should have no more than 4 tardies, no suspensions, and no outstanding detentions. Students who are not attending the celebration will receive extra support from their advisory teacher during that time to complete missing assignments. |
We are grateful for the many volunteers who generously give their time and talents to support the students and schools of Carlsbad Unified School District. Volunteer involvement is an important part of our school communities, and we deeply appreciate our volunteers’ commitment to supporting our students and staff.
Please review the updated volunteer requirements for Carlsbad Unified School District, which have been revised to align with current laws and Board policies. Requirements are based on the level of supervision provided while working with students.
These updated requirements are designed to help ensure a safe, supportive environment for all students while providing expectations and guidance for those who volunteer in our schools.
Please note, we are looking for parent volunteers for our ROCKIN COYOTES CELEBRATIONS. Our hope is to offer students a variety of activities to participate in during this reward time. If you have some flexibility in your day and are interested in coming on campus to work with our students, please fill out this form. If you are unavailable during the school day to come to campus, but still want to support students, we are also in need of donations/prizes for students. This will be a level 1 volunteer requirement.

With the start of school comes increased car traffic, bike riders, and pedestrians in the community. In partnership with the City of Carlsbad and the Carlsbad Police Department, we ask that you review these important reminders about bike/ e-Bike requirements and general traffic safety information to support a safe year for our community.
Bike and e-Bike Reminders:
Students must follow these rules to ride a bike or e-Bike to any CUSD campus:
- Be at least 12 years of age for e-Bikes.
- Obtain a CUSD Bike Permit by completing this application and an e-Bike Safety Course as listed on our CUSD website for e-Bikes.
- Affix the CUSD Bike Permit to a visible spot on the e-Bike.
- Ride bikes and e-Bikes in accordance with California Bicycle laws, City of Carlsbad Municipal Code, and District expectations. Please review these Carlsbad-specific rules.
- Wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet while operating a bike or e-Bike. This video shows you how to make sure a helmet fits properly
Please note that students may not charge e-Bikes on any District property.
Traffic Safety Information:
- Traffic lights, signs and signals apply to everyone, including people riding bikes and e-Bikes.
- Bikes and e-Bikes should ride to the right side of the road or in a bike lane if one is available. You can leave the bike lane or right side of the road to turn left, pass someone, avoid something in the road or go around a car turning right.
- Consider taking a “test ride” with your student from home to school to help them get familiar with the route.
- As you drive around town the next few weeks, you’ll notice increased traffic in the morning and afternoons as kids travel to and from school. Remember to:
- Eliminate distractions and put your phone away.
- Slow down and look out for people walking or biking, especially near schools.
- Give yourself plenty of time to get where you need to go.
