Thank you to everyone who attended and a BIG congratulations to Mrs. Yaklin's 4th-grade social studies class for ALL their hard work. You were phenomenal today!

Let's have some Family Fun Tonight!
On February 29, 2024, tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. at the school cafeteria the Department of Support Services has scheduled a FREE Seahawk Family Fun Night (Bingo/Games) with lots of prizes for parents, educators, and the community to engage in fun activities. It is important to come together to foster a strong school-home-community relationship. When parents and the community are involved in our children’s education, students thrive both academically and socially. Laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning will help us accomplish our many goals. We look forward to seeing you there!

PROCTORED EXAMS WITH CBC
For CBC courses that require proctored exams, students will need to show a form of identification to schedule and take these types of exams.
If you don't have a form of ID. all CBC students can request, at no charge, a CBC ID.
Keep in mind that the turnaround time is usually a week, since the CBC ID cards are mailed to the students. If students need to schedule and take a proctored exam this week, they should make arrangements with their respective professors to take them at a CBC campus.
This does not impact a majority of CBC students.
Please see Mr. Arredondo with questions or concerns or for instructions on how to obtain a CBC ID.
