MS/HS Parents,
Last Thursday a packet went home with your student containing pages that needed to be completed, signed and returned. The deadline to return the packet is tomorrow, and I wanted to send this notification out as a reminder! If you have any questions, please reach out to the high school office.

Varsity Volleyball Update... Vaughn Home Game has been rescheduled for Wednesday, October 28 @ 5 PM

📢 A Quick Clarification for Our Families We want to clarify that the flyers regarding Youth Night at the Monster Lounge Social Club that were sent home in student folders this afternoon were not distributed by Corona Public Schools and were not submitted to or approved by the district. We understand that there are many wonderful community organizations and events that provide opportunities for our students and families. We simply want to make sure families are aware that this particular event is not a school-sponsored or district-approved activity. We appreciate our community partners and, most importantly, want to ensure that our families have clear and accurate information when materials are sent home through the school. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Corona Public Schools! ❤️🖤
