<\/a>The City of Coronado is transitioning from Nixle to Everbridge, a new mass notification system for the city to communicate important information with the community.<\/p>\nEverbridge will serve the same purpose as Nixle, providing important city alerts and notifications directly to residents, but will give the city greater flexibility in how information is shared and give residents more control over the types of notifications they receive.<\/p>\n
The city will use both Nixle and Everbridge concurrently during a six-month period until the transition is complete in April 2027, when alerts will only be issued through Everbridge.<\/p>\n

The competition focuses on academics, leadership, and STEM and requires cadets to demonstrate knowledge, teamwork, and citizenship. Unlike previous years, the Navy did not fully underwrite the costs of attending, so Coronado Soroptimist stepped in to assist.<\/p>\n Kalea and Scout reported that in addition to the chance to measure themselves against other programs academically, it was a wonderful opportunity to meet, network, and make friends with many cadets from across the country and around the world. Out of the 600 teams attending the competition, CHS Islander Company placed fifth overall for the Naval JROTC Branch division.<\/p>\n Save the date for the PAWS of Coronado Ruff Run 2027 \ud83d\udc3e<\/p>\n A message from Sir Winston, Animal Mayor of Coronado:<\/p>\n The PAWS Ruff Run will be held on Saturday, March 6, 2027.
