CAV Message
Hi CAV Families,
Welcome to Unit 2! You have completed the first Unit of the 21/22 school year. I hope you are celebrating and sharing your accomplishments this week during your conference. I always celebrated with my kids after our conference by going to lunch or the park. It felt so good to move into a new Unit fresh and ready to dive in.
We are looking for Student Supervisors to work on the playground watching the kids during their lunch and recess. If you or anyone you know would like a part-time job, please visit EDjoin.org for the application. Any questions can be answered in the office, so give us a call at 760-330-9800.
Take care,
Kirstin Lasto, CAV Principal
