Dear Primary School Families,
It is hard to believe that Winter Recess is almost here along with the end of the second nine weeks. We have a few announcements about these upcoming milestones of the year.
In the lead up to Winter Recess, we will have two theme days for the students and staff. On December 22, we encourage everyone to wear their ugly (or not so ugly) sweater. December 23 will be our holiday parties and pajama day. The holiday parties are supported by our PTG. The PTG and their assigned homeroom parents will provide all the materials and snacks for the holiday parties. Due to allergies, COVID-19, and other factors, we cannot accept any items brought in by other individuals. Our winter recess begins on December 24 and students will return to instruction on January 5.
As we approach the end of the second nine weeks, many families have been considering a change of learning pathways between our hybrid +2, hybrid, or remote learning options. Changes can occur at the end of the second nine weeks, which is January 11. If you would like your child to switch pathways, please contact Marc Hubert and Megan Mouas no later than January 4 so arrangements can be made for transitions to begin on January 12, the first day of the third nine weeks. After January, the next opportunity to make changes to learning pathways will be at the end of the third nine weeks in March.
Email addresses for Mr. Hubert and Mrs. Mouas are mhubert@cvsd.net and mmouas@cvsd.net.
In early to mid-January, we will be conducting our middle of the year Acadience benchmark testing. These assessments will help the school determine growth from the start of the year for our students and help drive instruction into the second half of the year. Benchmark results will be shared with families after all assessments are completed.
We wish everyone a wonderful week ahead and thank everyone for all that you do to help our CVPS students learn and grow.
***Special Message from Mrs. Rosenwald***
At the most recent CVSD school board meeting, my medical sabbatical was approved for the second semester. I have Multiple Sclerosis and had a relapse in the fall. I underwent treatment and am getting better day by day. I am sad that I will miss the remainder of the school year with your students, but I plan to be back for the 2021-2022 school year stronger than ever. Thank you all for your well wishes. They truly mean a lot to me and our family.

Screenings
Our typical screening timeline for weight, height, vision, and hearing will be pushed back to a later time. Our department wants to ensure that screenings are performed in the safest way possible. If you have specific concerns about your child, please reach out to your building’s School Nurse.
Flu
Flu vaccines will be highly recommended this cold and flu season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Per the CDC, influenza vaccination will be paramount to reduce the impact of respirator illness in the population. Please contact your child’s health care provider for information on where to get a flu shot.
Our department is working hard to keep our students and staff healthy and safe. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your building School Nurse with any questions or concerns!
