SURVEY RESPONSES ARE ACCEPTED

JANUARY 20, 2026, THROUGH FEBRUARY 20, 2026

Your input matters to the Chino Valley Unified School District! That’s why we strongly encourage you to complete our annual K12 School Quality Survey.

This is an opportunity to share feedback on student and academic support, safety and behavior, school leadership, family engagement, and more. We’ll use the results to better meet your needs and the needs of every child that enters our schools.

The online survey can be taken from any computer, tablet, or smartphone. Parents, guardians, and students have the option of accessing their survey using the QR codes and/or links provided below or using the survey link listed in their email invitation from Sogolytics.

To ensure meaningful results and strong participation, all responses will be kept completely confidential. The comprehensive summary report will only present grouped findings and will not link feedback to individual participants. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

For more information about the survey, please contact Kyle Shuler, Director of Access and Equity at kyle_shuler@chino.k12.ca.us.

We’re excited to introduce a new system to help keep our Lost and Found organized and efficient. At the end of each month, all unclaimed items will be cleared out and donated to support families in need. This not only helps us maintain a tidy campus but also ensures that forgotten items find a second life.

To minimize the number of lost items, we kindly ask that all personal belongings—including jackets, water bottles, and lunch pails—are clearly labeled with your child’s name. Labeled items are much more likely to be returned quickly!

We also encourage parents to remind their children to check the Lost and Found regularly. As part of this new system, we’ll be incorporating student reminders at school to help build this habit.

Items were donated on January 30, 2026. Next donation will be on February 27, 2026.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our school environment organized, responsible, and sustainable!

Hello February! We are so excited to be CELEBRATING KINDNESS ALL MONTH LONG! Your student will have the opportunity to spread and show kindness this month during KINDNESS WEEK which will be held February 17th-February 20th. Our All Star students already know what it means to be kind, but throughout the month of February, we will focus on SHOWING kindness towards each other, our school, and our community. Kindness one of the most beautiful and powerful forces for good that exists in the entire world. Check out randomactsofkindness.org for some great resources and ideas that you can complete with your students this month and throughout the year. It is going to be a busy month at the ballpark and I am really looking forward to all of the acts of kindness our All Stars will complete and activities we have planned!

Please be sure to follow our pick up and drop off expectations to keep our All Stars safe! We appreciate your patience in waiting to drop off and pick up your child; please be courteous to one another and the staff out on duty. All drivers must remain in their cars.

For safety reasons, please use cross-walks and sidewalks only. Do not cross the driveways.
