CBK Charter School

Wellness Wednesday with CBK!
🌿 Summer is almost here and so is burnout season! This week, set one boundary that protects your peace. Say no to something that drains you and yes to something that fills you up. You deserve that. 🌸

Wellness Wednesday with CBK!

🧘 Mid-week reminder: it's okay to slow down. Rest is not laziness, it's recovery. Take 5 minutes today to breathe, put your phone down, and just be present. Your mental health matters just as much as your to-do list. 💙

CBK Summer School starts today!
UCR Summer Camp starts today!

Two wonderful opportunities for CBK students! Please remember, weekly attendance is mandatory for Summer School and Daily attendance is mandatory for UCR Summer Camp.

CBK Spotlight!
CBK would like to Spotlight Alexis F., a senior from our Rubidoux Youth Opportunity Center CBK site. Her favorite CBK memory? A simple but meaningful moment — a last day of school pizza party where everyone shared something they were proud of. That moment reminded her how far she’d come and gave her hope for the year ahead.

Since joining CBK, she’s grown in confidence and learned that her path is valid, no matter her age or timeline. When asked if there was a defining moment for her in her journey, Alexis said, “ I realized I wasn’t just trying to get through school anymore. Instead, I was actually working toward something I cared about. That’s when it felt real. That’s when I knew I was ready, not just academically, but mentally too.”
A huge part of that growth came from her teacher, Dr. Thomas, who supported her from day one and saw her potential long before she saw it in herself. That impact inspired her future: she’s officially committed to Whittier College, where she’ll major in Child Development and Education, with hopes of becoming a teacher — one who shows up for her students the way her teacher showed up for her.

CBK is proud of you, Alexis, for rewriting your story, pushing past fear, and finding the courage to build knowledge. It’s never too late to become who you’re meant to be! Congratulations! 🩵💛

Can't wait to see everyone this Monday, June 8 for our rescheduled CBK Grad

Wellness Wednesday with CBK!

☀️New month, fresh start! This June, let's make our wellbeing a priority. Start small: drink more water, step outside for 10 minutes, and check in with yourself daily. You can't pour from an empty cup. 💧

All returning students, please make sure you have updated your Aeries portal, signed your Fall contracts, and received an assignment and return date for the Fall before leaving us for the summer.

CBK Spotlight!
CBK would like to spotlight our three retirees, Mr. Anderson, Ms. Deaton, and Dr. Thomas!💙 💛

Today, we celebrate three incredible educators whose impact on CBK will be felt for years to come. As they step into retirement, we honor their dedication, their compassion, and the countless lives they’ve shaped along the way.

Each of these teachers has poured their heart into our students — offering guidance, encouragement, and unwavering belief in every learner who walked through their doors. Their classrooms became safe spaces. Their words became motivation. Their presence became a source of stability and hope.

Their legacy lives on in:
✨ the students they inspired
✨ the confidence they helped build
✨ the futures they helped shape
✨ the community they strengthened

While we will miss their daily presence on our campuses, we are deeply grateful for the years of service, love, and commitment they’ve given to CBK.

Please join us in celebrating and thanking our three retiring teachers for everything they’ve done for our students, our families, and our CBK community.

💙 Congratulations on your retirement — and thank you for leaving CBK better than you found it. ✨
