Chaffey District Students, Parents, and Families,
 
I hope you are enjoying a restful and fun-filled summer break. We are excited to welcome our incoming freshmen, the Class of 2029, along with our returning sophomores, juniors, and seniors when we begin the 2025-2026 school year on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.
 
As we prepare for the first day of school, I encourage every student to start the year with a clear focus and a commitment to doing their very best. Please know that our teachers, counselors, and support staff are dedicated to providing you with what you need to reach your goals and making this year a meaningful and rewarding experience.
 
We understand that families and students may have many questions about academics, extracurricular opportunities, technology, mental health resources, and more. While this message won’t address every question, I want to assure you that we are committed to keeping the lines of communication open and sharing information with you throughout the year.
 
Our District’s comprehensive support plan continues to offer students and families a wide range of resources, including expanded learning opportunities, college and career exploration programs, in-person tutoring, access to digital learning tools, and parent engagement workshops. In addition, our students have ongoing access to Social-Emotional Learning programs, mental health resources, mentors, and reliable technology. Every student will continue to receive a Chromebook, along with technical support and connectivity resources. The Canvas learning platform will remain an important tool for supporting daily teaching and learning.
 
Your school principal and I will continue to reach out to you through automated calls, email, social media, and updates on our District website. We are here to answer your questions, listen to your concerns, and ensure that every student feels safe, supported, and ready to learn.
 
I look forward to partnering with you to help our students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally as they prepare for college, careers, and the future ahead. Please do not hesitate to contact your school principal or me with any questions you may have. In the meantime, enjoy the remaining weeks of your summer vacation — we can’t wait to see you soon!
 
Thank you!
 
Mathew Holton, Ed.D.
