Chaffey District Parents and Families,
 

The 2026–2027 school year is off to a fantastic start! It has been wonderful to see our campuses once again filled with the energy of students learning, reconnecting with friends and teachers, participating in activities, and settling into the routines of a new school year. Across the Chaffey District, our classrooms, hallways, athletic fields, and activity spaces are already buzzing, and I am excited about what lies ahead for our students.

At the Chaffey District, we believe high school should prepare students for much more than graduation. Our responsibility is to ensure every student leaves us prepared to succeed in college, career, and life. That means providing relevant and engaging instruction while helping students develop the communication, critical-thinking, collaboration, adaptability, and problem-solving skills they will need in a rapidly changing world.

As the year gets underway, I encourage our students to take full advantage of everything their school has to offer. Advanced Placement, Career Technical Education, dual enrollment, athletics, activities, visual and performing arts, leadership, clubs, and countless other opportunities allow students to discover new interests, challenge themselves, build relationships, and find their place within their school community. Some of the most meaningful high school experiences happen when students are willing to step outside their comfort zone and try something new.

We also know that students are most successful when they feel safe, supported, connected, and known. Across our schools, students have access to tutoring, counseling, wellness and mental health resources, mentoring, academic intervention, technology, and other individualized supports. If your student needs assistance, academically, socially, or emotionally, I encourage you to reach out to your school. Asking for support is an important part of being successful, and our staff is here to help.

This year, we will also continue preparing students for a world being transformed by technology. Artificial intelligence and other emerging tools are changing how we learn, work, and communicate. Our responsibility is not simply to introduce students to new technology, but to teach them to use it responsibly, ethically, and effectively while continuing to strengthen the uniquely human skills of creativity, judgment, empathy, perseverance, and relationships.

The strong start we have experienced would not be possible without the partnership of our families. I encourage you to stay connected with your student’s teachers and counselors, follow your school’s communications, attend events, monitor academic progress, and continue having conversations at home about attendance, achievement, involvement, and their plans for the future. Your engagement makes a meaningful difference.

We have a great deal to look forward to in the months ahead. I am excited to visit our campuses, spend time with students and staff, and celebrate the academic achievements, performances, competitions, championships, milestones, and everyday successes that make the Chaffey District such a special place.

Thank you for your continued partnership, encouragement, and trust in the Chaffey Joint Union High School District. We are off to a great start, and I look forward to an exceptional 2026–2027 school year together.
