In observance of the federal Juneteenth holiday, all CUSD schools and offices will be closed on Friday, June 20, 2025. Also known as Emancipation Day or Freedom Day, Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and serves as a time to learn, reflect, and celebrate freedom and equality for all. To find our more, see the National Geographic Kids article https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/celebrating-juneteenth#:~:text=The%20federal%20holiday%20celebrates%20the,how%20it%20got%20its%20start.&text=On%20June%2019%2C%201865%2C%20General,Enslaved%20people%20there%20were%20free.
And just like that, the 2024-25 school year has come to a close! Thank you, families, for partnering with us in your children’s education. We hope this year was filled with learning, growth, friendships, and lasting memories for our entire CUSD community! 💙
