Applications for incoming 6th grade students were distributed at each elementary school.

On Saturday, Feb. 29, Creekside and Canyon began accepting applications from for all 5th grade students who reside in the Castro Valley Unified School District’s boundary. Parent/Guardian must turn the application and Statement of Residency with supporting documents. Students are not required to be present to turn in the application.

Applications should be turned in to the middle school office of choice between 8:30am and 3:30pm on school days March 2-13 with the latest being March 13, 2020 at 3:30PM. Please click READ FULL STORY for the application website. Residency forms and supporting documents must be brought in to the school by the parent/guardian with residency documents and ID.

The lines will move quickly if all parent/guardians have the following items completed in advance and ready to turn in:

Statement of Residency if the parent/guardian has the PGE and one other bill in their name. Please bring ID. Please check the form for acceptable documents to prove residency.
OR
Shared Residency Form if the PG&E is NOT in the parent/guardian name. Both the person with the PGE in their name and the parent/guardian must come together to provide ID and documents as stated on the Shared Residency Form.

If a 5th grade student does not turn in an application form by March 13th at 3:30PM, the student will be assigned to one of the middle schools based on space available.

Space is not first come first serve. It is based on total applications received during the application period. As long as you turn in the application and residency verification with the required documents by the deadline stated on the application, your student will have the same chance as all other applicants to attend the school of choice. If either middle school exceeds their enrollment capacity, placement will be determined by lottery. If needed, the lottery will take place on Monday, March 16, 2020 at 4:30pm in the CVUSD Board Room.

Coronavirus Update March 13, 2020 Update @ 12:45 p.m.
Dear CVUSD Families:

As concerns about coronavirus have risen, my leadership team and I have been working closely with the Alameda County Public Health Department (ACPHD), the Alameda County Office of Education (ACOE), and the surrounding district superintendents and considering all information and nuances related to this crisis.

We will be holding an emergency board meeting tonight to consider suspending in-classroom instruction that could begin as early as next week. We will update you as soon as possible. The decision for the board meeting is not due to a coronavirus case in our District.

This crisis is affecting all members of the community, including our employees. We are working together to ensure our students are supported during this time. Thank you for your patience. More detailed information will be available this evening.

Regards,
Superintendent Ahmadi
