Good afternoon, Maple Families!
This week is the week you will find out what cohort your child is in. We recognize that some of you may be in a different cohort that you signed up for. We appreciate your flexibility. A lot of time, reflection, and coordination went into creating these lists.
In this newsletter is important information for you about the upcoming week.
Please reach out if you have additional questions @ plewis@conejousd.org.
Proud to be a Maple Mustang!

Dear CVUSD Parent/Guardian of a Student with an Individual Education Plan,
As the start of the school year quickly approaches, we are eager to welcome you and your students back for the 2020-2021 school year. We look forward to providing a variety of academic and educational experiences to promote student growth and learning throughout the year. Because the start of this school year is unlike any in the past, the Special Education Leadership Team will host Parent Information Zoom Webinars on Wednesday, August 12, 2020. The webinars will provide information on the delivery of special education supports and services during Remote Teaching and Learning, special education timelines, the protocols for conducting assessments and holding IEP meetings, and details about new emergency distance learning plans.
If you are interested in attending a Special Education Parent Webinar, please register (links below) for the grade span that corresponds to your child’s 2020-2021 grade level. If you have more than one student with an IEP and they are in different grade spans, please register for all that apply. Upon registering, you will receive confirmation of receipt and a link to join the webinar. Live simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be available during the webinars.
