Supporting CAVA Families Affected by the California Wildfires  

As wildfires continue to impact families, students, and communities across California, California Virtual Academies (CAVA) is dedicated to being a source of strength and stability. Our commitment goes beyond providing quality education—we are here to support our community through challenging times. 

We know that disasters like wildfires can disrupt daily life in profound ways—whether it’s evacuation, loss of property, or the emotional toll on families. At CAVA, we are committed to helping our students and their families navigate these challenges with care, resources, and a strong sense of community. 

Fostering a Strong Community 
In moments of crisis, community matters more than ever. The CAVA family is united by a shared commitment to one another. Let’s lean on each other—reach out, connect, and support your fellow families. Together, we can move forward stronger, proving that even in tough times, we are never alone. 

Offering Emotional and Mental Health Support 
We understand that wildfires bring not just physical challenges, but emotional ones too. Whether it’s anxiety, stress, or uncertainty about the future, know that you are not alone. CAVA is here to support you. It’s okay to ask for help— we’re here to listen and guide you every step of the way. 

Adapting and Moving Forward 
We know that many of you are facing unique and difficult circumstances, from displacement to adjusting to new routines. Our virtual learning environment allows you to keep your child’s education on track, no matter where you are. Let us work together to adapt, overcome, and move forward one step at a time.
