Please be reminded that for reasons of safety and security, CSArts-SGV is a closed campus. We want to take this time to share some clarification regarding what this means for students.
- Students are not permitted to leave campus for any reason during the day, including during lunch and office hours, without being officially signed out by a parent/guardian through the Attendance Office. There is no exception for seniors, even if they are over 18 years of age.
- Students who drive their own cars are not permitted to go to their cars to retrieve any materials until 2:30 p.m. Please plan ahead and bring your lunch with you to campus in the morning.
- Students should not spend time outside of the CSArts-SGV exterior gates for any reason, including eating lunch or hanging out during office hours.
Thank you for committing to these expectations and helping us to keep the CSArts-SGV campus a safe and secure space for our students!

FIRST PROGRESS REPORTS AVAILABLE |
|
High school families: Progress reports for the first six weeks of the spring semester will be available to students and parents in Aeries beginning today, Friday, February 25.
The Aeries portal provides students and parents with progress reports every six weeks. Over time, a student’s official report card or transcript is built in Aeries, made up of semester grades. CSArts-SGV does not mail home progress reports, but they are viewable 24/7 to high school students and parents in the Aeries portal at familysis.sgv.csarts.net. If you do not yet have an Aeries account or have forgotten your password, please contact CSArts-SGV Tech Support at techsupport@csarts.net.
Schoology, in comparison, provides day-to-day and week-to-week assignments, updates, and grades. The most recent grades are those in Schoology, for both middle and high school students. Teachers also leave more detailed feedback and comments on students' grades in Schoology, so please check there first when you have questions or concerns. Please direct questions regarding grades to the specific teacher. If you have not signed up for Schoology, please contact Assistant Principal Nicole Read at nicole.read@sgv.csarts.net to attain your parent access code. Instructions for creating a Schoology account are located on our website here.
Middle school families: CSArts-SGV conservatory progress report grades will soon be available on your DUSD Aeries portal for viewing. Keep an eye out for a post on Schoology from Ms. Read when they are live. Your Aeries portal at your academic institution will be the place to view your official transcripts.

NATIONAL WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH |
|
Every year, March is designated Women’s History Month by presidential proclamation. When that proclamation was first made, President Jimmy Carter wrote, “Men and women have worked together to build this nation. Too often the women were unsung and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed. But the achievements, leadership, courage, strength, and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well.” At CSArts-SGV we recognize and appreciate the significant contributions from women throughout history and in our own community. |
