Help save Crown Valley Elementary!

Crown Valley is a true neighborhood school that has been a respected part of the Laguna Niguel community for almost 50 years. Crown Valley is facing closure to house Community Roots Academy, a charter school currently sharing the Wood Canyon Elementary campus in Aliso Viejo.

Crown Valley is truly a unique and special school environment with a general enrollment of 385 students, including a large DHH and special education population of over 160. The integration of students, in addition to the wonderful and caring staff help make Crown Valley an ideal learning environment. Relocation will be very stressful for all students and families of Crown Valley, even more so for those that benefit from the DHH and special education programs.

In addition to the disruption the students and families currently attending Crown Valley face, all Laguna Niguel residents should consider:

•Increased traffic on Adelanto and adjacent streets. Parking and traffic are very heavy on the streets adjacent to CVE, Community Roots intends to increase enrollment by 300 students!

•The impact to surrounding Laguna Niguel elementary schools, as well future enrollment for Niguel Hills Middle School as more families will consider school of choice participation.

Crown Valley is a charming school with a beautiful central garden courtyard, set to celebrate its 50th anniversary next year. It is truly a special place where children flourish. Let’s come together as parents, neighbors, alumni, and friends to save this jewel in Laguna Niguel. Please sign this petition, and pass it on to anyone who may be interested in supporting CVE. We must act quickly; the CUSD board is set to vote on the fate of CVE on September 9.

Thank you for your support!
