Castle Valley Center

Dear Parents and Guardians, Approximately an hour ago we had a report of a potential dangerous person at Carbon High School and the school was immediately put on lock down. Administration and local law enforcement responded and the situation was found to be an unsubstantiated threat. The lock down has been lifted and all after school activities have resumed as normal. We appreciate all involved including the community members who followed guidance from law enforcement and district personnel. Thank you, Mika Salas

Just a reminder! There is NO SCHOOL this week for SPRING BREAK! School will resume on April 8th, 2024! Have a fun and safe break!!

Dear CSD Parents and Guardians, Early this morning several CSD employees received an email stating that there was a potential threat to schools. We involved our tech department and law enforcement to help us understand the legitimacy of the threat. We have since learned that the message was sent statewide and to districts in other states. At this point, the message is considered a hoax by law enforcement. We will share any updates pertinent to Carbon School District students. The safety of our students and staff is our utmost priority. Thank you, Mika Salas

CSD Parents, As our winter weather approaches, we would like to communicate our district's plan to safely transport students during heavy snowfall. COMMUNICATION WILL BE PROVIDED ANY TIME THERE IS AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE NORMAL SCHOOL DAY. The following plan will be implemented when we experience heavy snowfall such that we cannot safely transport students to school as normally scheduled. 1. Carbon School District does not intend to cancel school for snow. We will use a "Late Start" schedule through the winter months. All district schedules will be adjusted by two (2) hours. For instance, if your child boards the bus at 7:00 on a normal day, they would board at 9:00 on a "Late Start" day. If school starts at 8:10 on a normal day, it will start at 10:10 on a "Late Start" day. The schools will ALWAYS end at the normal time. 2. In most cases, decisions cannot be made until the morning of the heavy snowfall. If an adjustment to the regular schedule is necessary, parents will be notified by 6:00 a.m. using our parent notification system. In addition, messages will be posted on all school and district websites and social media. 3. All Carbon School District preschool programs will be canceled on "Late Start" days. Thank you for your support and cooperation, Mika Salas

Every day, we feel fortunate to have hundreds of people work in our schools to support our students, and we thank them for their ongoing commitment. This last week of school is always a week full of energy, excitement, and hope. Each level of school sends a group of students to advance to a new level of learning or even to a new level of life. We are proud to be a part of their journey. It has been common practice to read the name of each graduate as they approach the stage to receive their diploma. Students who choose not to attend or cannot attend for a number of reasons are listed in the program, newspaper, and other published material, but their names are typically not read during the ceremony. However, Carbon High reviews requests for recognition for graduates who are unable to attend. As for the current situation on social media, there has been no request by a graduating student or their family member to have a student's name read who cannot attend the 2023 graduation. As always, conversations are encouraged and essential to understanding and working toward solutions. We ask that efforts from our community focus on celebrating our graduating seniors. It saddens us to see unnecessary outrage that could have been avoided with a direct conversation. Once again, thank you to the staff members who have planned this huge event, and congratulations to our accomplished graduates!!!

The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) provides a parent survey opportunity every other year related to school climates. The data will be shared from USBE with the district, so we would appreciate your input. https://carbondistrict.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2cmRlzYeRPn6Oua
