EMERGENCY DRILL NEXT WEEK

Our first scheduled emergency drill will take place next Tuesday, August 26, after Block 2 and before Lunch. Please click here to view the Emergency Drill Bell Schedule.

Before the drill, students will review a webinar with CSArts-SGV Administration about important safety information. Topics will include emergency evacuation routes and procedures, opioid overdose and safety protocols, run/hide/fight response to an active shooter, shelter-in-place procedures, and earthquake preparation. Please note: During the first minute of the practice evacuation drill, the school alarm bells will sound. 

Thank you for your cooperation in helping keep our students safe.

MEDICAL INSURANCE INFO

We would like to remind families that CSArts-SGV has partnered with the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), a program that supports the whole child by addressing the many factors that impact a student’s mental health and well-being.

Through this partnership, CSArts-SGV is now able to bill health insurance for mental health services provided to students during the school day. This reimbursement will be reinvested directly into expanding and improving our on-campus mental health programs. If you have yet to provide this information through your Aeries account, please support our school by going back in under “Student Info” and clicking on “Data Confirmation” to add your information. 

Important notes for families:

• No cost to you: Providing this information will not result in any charges to your family.

• No impact on coverage: School-based services will not affect your child's health plan or coverage, and is not shared with your insurance company.

• Confidentiality assured: All insurance information submitted through the data confirmation process will be kept private and secure per federal law.

Thank you for your support in helping us expand these vital services for our students.
