DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP REMINDER | |
We have been notified by the retailers and business plaza owners located at the corner of Highland Avenue and Huntington Drive that parents have been utilizing their parking lot to park and wait for their students during pick-up. As this negatively impacts these business owners and prevents their customers from parking and accessing their services, please refrain from dropping off or picking up your student in local parking lots. Please utilize the drop-off/pick-up routes designated on our Campus Map. As guests within the community, we ask that everyone be mindful and respectful of our business and residential neighbors to help CSArts-SGV maintain positive relationships with the surrounding community. | |
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH NOTICE | |
We have been notified by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) of the increasing dangers related to fentanyl use throughout the nation as well as locally. Please click here to view the CDPH notice for important information and resources. CSArts-SGV is committed to protecting the health and safety of our community and will enforce California law and school policies related to possession, sales, and usage of drugs on campus. Please utilize the CSArts-SGV Text-A-Tip phone number (240.847.4483) to report any violations. | |

Please be aware that the first grading period of the fall semester ends today, Friday, September 23. Teachers will be submitting grades for the first six weeks of school and progress reports will be available for viewing next Friday, September 30 on Aeries.
High School Families: With the transfer of gradebooks from Schoology to Aeries Gradebooks, please utilize the resources below to navigate how to view grade information.
Please note that Aeries will now house progress reports and grades for all high school students. Google Classroom will continue to house instructional resources and digital assignments, but will not include overall classroom grades. In order to encourage students to self-advocate, they should ask their teachers any questions about grades first before parents get involved.
Middle School Families: The Duarte Unified School District (DUSD) Aeries Parent Portal is the official communication tool for progress reports and grades for middle school students. Google Classroom houses instructional resources and digital assignments and also communicates overall classroom grades for middle school students. In order to align with CSArts-SGV’s grading timeline, middle school grades will be exported from Google Classroom and imported into DUSD Aeries grade reports. Please refer to the Middle School Technology Packet for more information about logging into these portals.
