Highlights and successes, shoutout to enrollment and recruitment team on October 1st opened enrollment for 2026-2027 school year. Completed so early because, in Chino, facilities request needs to be submitted end of month with interested students. Less than two weeks into October there were 219 total applications received, 150 in Chino and 50+ in Fontana (some were not tagged to a school yet). Both communities, Chino has in 8 years 8% drop of school aged students overall, in Fontana the same time span it is 10%. In both communities expected to grow at 5-6%. Fewer school aged students, so to meet enrollment, we are moving upstream and are proud of our enrollment team. Fontana has a recruiting event October 25th at the Jesse Turner.

Audit has been completed, two months before the statutory deadline.

Administering the staff survey. Looking to provide to board and staff.

Heard from families during Triads, feedback received. Proud of students and staff.

High satisfaction across both schools, but relative to families the weakest part is the way our students are being treated by others. This is a focal point for both our schools, working with staff and are responding in kinds to that, and asking to work with us to do so.

Thank you to BCMG for kind donation, two suites at the Toyota Center for Reign game or other event. Working to provide one to Chino community and one to Fontana community.

Enrollment, Chino 953 - Fontana 359. Strong start with attendance.

Financials, we are spending within parameters and revenue stronger than budget. 2nd consecutive month of repayment from Fontana to Chino.

Grant application with Chaffey College, combined to include both Chino and Fontana, to resources to help add to middle school program and align with high school and community college programs. In November, we should learn application status of Charter Facilities Incentive Grant Program - which will be used to help pay property leases.

Chino facility request Prop 29 request will be submitted November 1st. Received update from Fontana school district, regarding play structure, plans have been submitted to Department of State Architecture and District is awaiting comment or approval.

Hispanic National Heritage Month, showcased several role models within STEAM community. In October, the service project was "Socktober". Purpose of project was to collect socks for women in need for the Women's Steel Union of Fontana. If school reached goal of 100 socks students would receive a free dress day. The winning class to guess the exact amount of socks will win an extra 10 minutes of recess.

Month of November service project will be Thanksgiving food donation baskets through Childhood Cancer Foundation for Loma Linda Children's Hospitals.

Chino Fall Festival - Amazing, wonderful turnout, 3rd year going and always gets better. Nice to see older students that promoted out and excited to see old friends. Good for all, younger and older students, and parents. PACK does an amazing job every year! Nice to see all students present student celebrations, especially new student to jump in and present. Look forward to all things to come. One additional item, have noticed last few weeks lack of crossing guards for students. Important for crossing guards to be present before and afterschool. Shoutout to Mr. Haras, who has been coming out and jumps right in. Tighten up a bit more for the safety of the students.
