From the Office of the TK/K Registrar
There is not going to be a packet of information sent home regarding registration for next year. The District is trying to finalize the date that Online Registration for all students will open (hoping for mid-May). Please monitor the CUSD website for registration information. Registration dates are usually published in the Eagle Journal the week prior to opening online registration. Complete the online registration as soon as you can. Please read the website carefully regarding required documents necessary to complete the registration process in August. The August document submission dates and times have not yet been determined.
Thank you, ECDC & Silver Strand Elementary

Coping Through Uncertainty and Self Care
Wednesday, May 20, 8:30 am
Coronado Military Spouses is a quarterly event where parents meet to discuss areas of interest and concern under the guidance of the Military Family Life Counseling team. Each meeting highlights a particular topic and is designed to be interactive rather than a lecture series. This month, we will meet via Zoom. If you would like attend, please email the Naval Base Coronado School Liaison Officer at Mindy.Hayes@navy.mil and I will send you the meeting ID and password.
