CUSD Today

To submit a story idea to CUSD Today, Clovis Unified’s monthly good news publication, please share your idea with the designated Communications Media Site Coordinator at your school (contact your school site to find out who that coordinator is), or directly to CUSD Today Managing Editor Patti Lippert at PattiLippert@cusd.com or 559-327-9094.

In an effort to unify the Clovis Unified community, CUSD Today highlights the achievements of the district’s students and staff; profiles new and updated Governing Board policies; and shares general news and information happening within Clovis Unified. We do our best to include as many submissions in each issue as our editorial space will allow.

The answer is absolutely not; it is entirely paid for by our advertisers, for whose support we are very grateful. Not one cent from Clovis Unified’s General Fund is used to cover any cost associated with CUSD Today, which includes paying for the design, printing, labeling, mailing, freelance writing and photography, and the salaries of the two CUSD staff members who produce the newspaper each month.

Over the course of the school year, you will receive 10 issues of CUSD Today, Clovis Unified School District’s good news publication designed to unify the CUSD community. The newspaper highlights the achievements of Clovis Unified students and staff; profiles new and updated Governing  Board policies; and shares general news and information happening within the District. CUSD Today’s circulation is 33,000.

Your written articles and ideas are always welcomed. A system has been put in place in which each school principal designates a special “Media Site Coordinator.”

This person is responsible for sending information about newsworthy events happening at his/her school site to the Communications Office for consideration of district media, including the newspaper. There is simply not enough room in the paper to print everything that happens during the course of the year, but every effort is made to cover all schools.

If you have information to consider for publication in CUSD Today, please contact your school’s Media Site Coordinator who will want to hear from you the good news you want to share with our readers.

In submitting a story idea, we ask that you provide as much information as you can as well as some contact information and, when possible, a photo. Any student identifiable in a photo must be media cleared.

CUSD Today is published monthly from August through June of each school year. You can expect to receive your issue approximately during the second week of each month. 

Three times a year – October, February and May – the newspaper is used as a community report and is delivered to every home and business located within Clovis Unified’s 198-square-mile boundary. This allows us to remain transparent with our local citizenry as we provide details about our district’s achievements and academic standings; finances; and facilities. These special community report editons are presented to show the impact our local schools have on neighborhoods and busineses as we stay accountable to the citizens who support us.

Join our VIP mailing list, where CUSD Today is mailed directly by request to those who would like to receive the newspaper but do not do so automatically. Send your name and address to kellieferamisco@cusd.com to join!
