We are looking forward to the upcoming school year and hope it is a wonderful one for both parents/guardians and students. Chico Unified School District supports a school culture that promotes high expectations, mutual respect, and positive interpersonal relationships. This booklet is designed to acquaint you with CUSD policies and procedures as well as how to access district staff for information and assistance. California state law requires that school districts annually notify parents/guardians and students of various rights and responsibilities. It further requires that school districts maintain written records confirming that parents/guardians and students have been so informed. Therefore, it is important that you complete the forms made available to you via Aeries so that we are able to provide you and your family with all of the possible services. Your help and cooperation in completing all forms is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions regarding the information contained in this document, please feel free to call the principal of your child’s school or the District Office. We look forward to working with you to make this a positive and productive school year.
