Dear Parents & Guardians,
We are excited to let you know that this year we will be using ParentSquare to communicate with you at the school, in your classrooms, and groups. ParentSquare provides a simple and safe way for everyone at school to connect. All parents have an account that just needs to be activated! For more information on what ParentSquare provides, and how to activate your account, please see pages 4 and 5 of the March 3, 2023, newsletter.
Corcoran Joint Unified School District is pleased to announce that we will begin using the Raptor Visitor Management System in all of our schools to strengthen our campus safety program for students and faculty. We recently started testing the system at one of our school sites to get familiar with the program. Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times, and the Raptor system will assist us in doing that. The Raptor system will better allow us to screen visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools, and provide a safer environment for our students and staff.
For more information, please see the article on page three of our March 3, 2023, newsletter.
Corcoran Joint Unified places a high priority on the mental health and well-being of students. Mental health encompasses wellness promotion, social, emotional, and behavioral health, and the ability to cope with life's challenges. According to the National Association of School Psychologists, research shows that students who receive mental and behavioral health support and social-emotional support achieve better academic results.
