School News

New CVMS Assistant Principal

The SDUHSD Board of Trustees approved the appointment of our new Assistant Principal for the 25-26 school year, Ms. Jennifer McPherson.  Jen McPherson has a strong passion for education. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Boston College and a Master’s degree in Teaching from Point Loma Nazarene University. She has taught English and History from 6-8 grade and was the Director of School Culture at Nativity Prep Academy before making her way to the San Dieguito Union High School District. This year, she taught 7th grade English and ASB at Oak Crest, and she has loved being a part of this district. She enjoys building relationships with all constituents and loves building a culture of belonging and positivity. She is excited to be at Carmel Valley because of the enthusiastic student body and the passionate staff and families. When not at school, Jen enjoys hiking, reading, and spending time with her husband and black lab puppy, Koda.

Summer School

If your student received a “D” or “F” in English 7/8  or Math A/B  for the first semester or is in danger of “D” or “F” grades for the second semester, the district is offering summer school to remediate those classes and help make sure fundamental skills were learned.  Please see the district summer school page for more information and applications. ELD classes are also available. Summer school will be held at Torrey Pines High School this year.  Please contact your student’s counselor with questions or more information.

Bobcat Fridays

EVERY Friday is Bobcat Friday! Students who wear their Bobcat spirit wear on Fridays will be eligible to win prizes, attend special events, and earn special privileges. If you are interested in skipping the lines to purchase spirit wear at our on campus events, you can order online through our CVMS Webstore and pick up your merchandise at Orientation and/or Mosey Monday!

Keep Our Schools Safe

SDUHSD has worked with local law enforcement to identify the best tool to report incidents that may impact our school environment.  The San Diego Law Enforcement Coordination Center operates a Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) system for our county.  You can help to keep our schools safe by reporting directly to the SAR school threat site.  Although it does ask for identifiable information, you may submit your tip anonymously and the tip will still get routed to your local law enforcement.
