Information Night for students and families. Conley-Caraballo High School (CCHS) is our alternative high school that provides a supportive, personalized learning environment with smaller class sizes and a shorter school day. CCHS is an excellent option for students who are behind in credits and need additional support to get back on track toward graduation.

Superintendent's Message for October 23, 2026 (Spanish & Mandarin translations link included)

The Board of Education-initiated renaming process for Cesar Chavez Middle School is moving forward. Next week, the Board will hold a special meeting to hear from the community. The meeting will be held Tuesday, October 27, 2026, in the CCMS Gymnasium. The meeting is scheduled from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. During the meeting, the Facility Names Committee will provide a progress update, and then members of the public may share their thoughts with the Board.

The renaming of CCMS has generated a lot of interest in our community, and a lot of information has been circulating on social media. In some cases, it may look like the information is coming from New Haven Unified. The district does not monitor or control what is shared on social media sites such as Instagram and Facebook. We have a link on our website where we post all official information and data for anyone interested. You can access this link HERE.

That’s it for this week.

Sincerely,

Superintendent

Superintendent's Message for October 9, 2026 (Spanish & Mandarin translations link included)

This is a reminder that there is no school for students on Monday, October 12. This is a teacher professional development day.

The New Haven Schools Foundation supports our students and teachers year-round. Each year, the foundation awards hundreds of thousands of dollars in student scholarships and teacher grants for a variety of school-based projects and programs. To do this, they count on donations and fundraising events. The Mutt Strut, taking place on Saturday, October 24, is one of the foundation’s biggest fundraisers and a great way to show your support. The Mutt Strut is a great opportunity to get outside with your canine best friend, enjoy a hearty breakfast, and take part in a variety of pet-friendly activities. The foundation is currently looking for sponsors and vendors and hopes to sell more family and individual tickets. To learn more and register, visit the following link: NHSF Mutt Strut Registration.
