How did we get there?

Our Beliefs• All students can learn and achieve at very

high levels

• My responsibility is to insure all students do learn and achieve

• Teachers who take responsibility for their students learning see much higher results than those who blame

• All teachers can become effective if they want to and work hard to learn how

• Schools that perform low are typically focused on adult issues and not focused upon their students needs - we can change that if we choose to

Vision• “To prepare all students to become first

class citizens with a world class education”

• “Students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”

• 21st Century Skills

• Critical Thinking

• Collaboration

• Communication

• Cultural Literacy

• Technology

• Character Education

Public Random Drawing

CVCHS currently receives more applications than it has available spots

Enrollment preference will be given based on State Ed. Code (see next slide)

Once the number of applications exceeds the capacity of the school, CVCHS will hold a Public Random Drawing (“Lottery”)

All names will be drawn and numbered to determine enrollment offers and waitlist positions

When a student is offered a spot they will receive a “letter of intent” form which must be completed and submitted within 5 days to secure enrollment
