Lost and Found

Please make sure to check the lost & found for any jackets, sweaters, binders, etc. located next to the fitness lab. You may also check with the front desk for any lost valuables. We have quite a few house keys that have been found. (you must be able to identify your item).

TO REPORT STUDENT'S ABSENCES PLEASE CALL 951-736-3288

Why is student attendance important? Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. We know mornings can be hectic, but please make sure that your student arrives on time.


Please make sure to report your students absences by calling the attendance line at (951)736-3288.

**If you call after hours, please make sure to include your name/relationship, students name, grade, ID# and reason of absence.


If absences are not excused within 3 days, your student will be marked as truant.

Threats, real or fake, carry serious consequences. If you see something, hear something, say something.

CNUSD has been working with our local law enforcement on various threats and are definitely trying to make sure that our students know that their threats carry serious consequences. The sheer number of threats makes us concerned that are students are honestly not "getting it".


PLEASE MAKE SURE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO WITH YOUR STUDENT!!
