  • Assembly Bill 104  Grade Change Information

    July 30, 2021

    Recent legislation, Assembly Bill (AB) 104, contains a provision that allows for parents/guardians and adult students to request that grades earned at the high school during the 2020-2021 school year be changed to Pass or No Pass. There is no limit to the number of courses for which a grade change may be requested. The changes will not be factored into the student’s GPA, thus the GPA will not be negatively impacted. There are, however, factors that need to be considered when making this decision.

    • Replacing an F grade with a No Pass will remove the F from the GPA calculation
      • However, students will still be held accountable for passing all required classes
    • Replacing a D with a Pass may qualify the course for college admissions where previously it could not be used. This may only apply for institutions accepting Pass / No Pass grades
    • Please be aware that some post-secondary institutions, especially those out of state, will not or may not accept Pass / No Pass grades for the purposes of admissions. Please refer to the specific institution’s admissions requirements.

  • Human Trafficking  Prevention Resources

  • Independent study program
    If you are thinking of having your child attend the independent study program a rather than full-time in person, you can view the slides from our joint presentation with North Monterey County Unified School District here. 

    The video will be posted on our YouTube chaneel within the next few days here.

     

    Carmel Unified Community,

    The District is pleased to report that we will be welcoming back students to full, in-person learning on Monday, August 9th, 2021.

    The State of California has prioritized a full return to in-person learning for the 2021-2022 school year. This will require the continued use of masks to eliminate physical distancing requirements, a major impediment to a full return. As a public entity, we will follow the rules set forth by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH)and the California Department of Education (CDE).

    • Masks are required for all students when indoors and for adults when students are present. 
    • When outdoors, masks will be optional for everyone. 
    • Masks will also be required on school buses. 


    The State of California has also given school districts guidance to offer independent study for students whose families determine that their health would be at risk in an in-person setting. To accomplish this, the state allows school districts to contract with other education agencies. We are excited to partner with North Monterey County Unified School District (NMCUSD) to offer an independent study program option, given our longstanding experience with their high-quality program and the anticipated low numbers of families who will choose this option. CUSD has partnered with NMCUSD for many years to provide independent study options for high school students. To participate in this option, students will transfer to the North Monterey County Center for Independent Study School which includes the NMCUSD K-12 Virtual E-School with the option to return to the CUSD in-person program at any time.

    For those interested in exploring the Independent Study option, we’ll be hosting a joint Zoom presentation with North Monterey County Unified School District on Tuesday, July, 27 from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. We’ll be sending a meeting link and more details later this week.

    Our goal will be to continue to have school in the most normal way possible; therefore, we will continue to revise and implement our COVID -19 safety procedures as needed. As always, we will be providing updates as we receive further guidance from the CDPH.

    There are some questions you may have for which we are still developing plans or awaiting answers from CDPH and other agencies. We will let you know as soon as we have more information on topics such as...

    • School schedules 
    • Updated quarantine, outbreak, and closure guidance
    • School events and gatherings such as dances and field trips
    • Cleaning and disinfection procedures
    • Parent volunteers
    • Athletics, extracurricular activities, and performing arts guidance


    As I begin my third week in the school district, I have truly enjoyed speaking with many of you, visiting various sites throughout the district, and engaging with our community. I am impressed with the work of our staff and students, including our summer programs hosted at The Cachagua Children's Center, Captain Cooper Elementary, Carmel High School, and Carmel Middle School (which also included River and Tularcitos elementary students).

    It is truly my honor to serve as your Superintendent and I thank you for your partnership.

    Sincerely, E. Ted Knight EdD

  • Second Edition of #WeAreCarmelUnified

    Dear Parents and CUSD employees: A Chicago colleague asked recently, “What is the name of your new school district?” “Carmel Unified,” I responded. “Unified? ” she inquired as though she had misheard. I quickly responded, “Yes, in Chicago we would call it a Unit District. It serves students in grades K-12. Actually we also have a preschool program here, so it’s actually pre-K to grade 12, but it’s about the same thing as a unit district.”
