Military Families at CVESD

The Chula Vista Elementary School District has two Navy School Liaisons assigned to support the high percentage of military-connected families with students enrolled at all the school campuses. The Naval Base San Diego (NBSD) and Naval Base Coronado (NBC) School Liaisons are each assigned specific school sites. We encourage military families to contact their Navy School Liaison with any questions or concerns. 

Navy School Liaison (SL) Program

SLs support and assist the unique lifestyle of the military. As the primary points of contact, SLs serve as the link between school districts, military installations and military families. SLs are a great resource to help military families understand school district policy/procedures and will refer to the appropriate resources to further assist the military family. Learn more about SLs at the Navy Life SW website.
