Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.

The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402.

The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Día de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this 30 day period.

SAVE THE DATE! The CNUSD Safety Symposium will take place on Monday, November 6th at Roosevelt High School at 6:30 p.m. We invite families to come and learn about CNUSD's safety protocols and hear from our law enforcement partners.

In an effort to do our part in mitigating the traffic congestion in the student drop off/pick up lanes before school and after school we would like to share the following information:

The yellow lines are curbs that are designated as loading/unloading only. As of today, this area is to be used for those purposes ONLY. Additionally, signs containing this information are posted.

Students, staff and faculty found in violation will be subject to the following:

1. Warning notification and documentation of car make/model and license plate # (warning placed under windshield wiper)
2. NHS parking violation sticker
3. Ticket from Sherriff’s Department)

We thank you for your continued support and understanding in helping us improve.

In an attempt at doing our part in mitigating the traffic congestion surrounding our school we wanted to share with you the following information.

The entire curb in front of the school located on Temescal Ave. has signs posted for 20 minute parking (during the hours of 6:30am – 3:30pm Monday - Friday) and/or NO PARKING - Student Loading Only (driver must remain in vehicle 7:00am – 4:00pm school days).
