Visit www.tempeunion.org/parentvue to sign up for this tool. There is even a mobile app so you can access your student’s information from your smartphone any time, day or night. If you need an access key or your account is disabled, please leave a message on our CDS ParentVUE hotline at (480)752-8775 and we will respond to you via email. It is important to sign up for ParentVUE now as beginning in April, parents will need to confirm residency information through ParentVUE. In addition, beginning next year, the Tempe Union High School District is moving to online registration and parents will use ParentVUE to enroll their students. Be prepared! AcLab: Students should sign up for an AcLab starting Friday after 2:15 pm until Tuesday before 3 pm. Students should receive an email at their CDS school email address confirming their AcLab choice for Wednesday. Attendance Auto-Call: If you receive an automatic call stating your student missed first hour and you know you have already called to excuse your student, please disregard the auto-call. There is no need to call us again. Due to the high volume of attendance calls, it may take us a couple of hours to listen to your message/excuse your student. Attendance Line: When your student is absent, please remember to call the Attendance office within 48 hours of the absence. Always include your student’s ID number. Calculators: The CDS Math department recommends purchasing a Texas Instruments 84 TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator. If you have questions, please email Don Guess at [email protected] or speak with your student’s math teacher. No Holds: The Corona del Sol front office does not hold items for students to pick up, including lunch. The exception is your student’s ID. Please arrange to meet your student between classes to give other items during passing periods. We will not call students out of class to pick up items. Please call us at 480.752.8888 to find out the correct passing times. Off-campus pass: For your student to receive an off-campus pass, a parent/guardian must call the attendance office on the day of the pass, at least one hour prior to the time of the pass. Students must have their CDS ID to leave. The attendance office will not give off-campus passes during lunch hours (10:15 am – 12:15 am). A parent/guardian must come in and sign the student out. Students feeling ill should report to the nurse. The nurse will contact the parent/guardian to release your student. Skateboards: Please remember, no riding on skateboards on campus. Have your students bring locks and lock them up before entering campus. We do not hold them in the front office or the classrooms.

Seniors, follow CDS CLASS OF 2019 @2019_cds for things senior-related. Student drop off/pickup: Parents, please remind your students to use the crosswalks at all times when crossing any street. This is for their safety and the safety of others. Please obey all the traffic signs around campus and remember there is no drop off or pickup on Knox Road in the West direction and No Parking on the north side of the street. The area is clearly marked No Parking. In addition, please, no U-turns on Knox Road – this is very dangerous. We greatly appreciate your help as we try to keep everyone safe. Drop off/pick up of students is allowed in the Rural Lot and on the South curb of Knox Rd. Drop off in the LDS church lot is not allowed. Student IDs: All students are required to wear their IDs and they must be worn and visible at all times during the school day. Please help us keep our campus secure and remind your students to wear IDs. Update info: Go to the CDS webpage at www.tempeunion.org/coronadelsol. Scroll down to CDS Announcements.
