We are pleased to welcome you back to the 2020-2021 school year!
We would like to extend a special welcome to all of our 6th-grade students and new students to our CVMS family. Although we are planning for a beginning like no other we have encountered in the past, our focus will still be on our students. Our administration and staff are dedicated to providing your child(ren) with an engaging, interactive, nurturing, and joyful learning experience. We have had to find a new normal for learning and new ways of teaching and connecting with the students.
The administration, faculty, and staff are most concerned about the health and safety of our students, this includes mental and emotional well-being. We understand that students might be experiencing some anxiety about the school year, seeing friends and teachers again, the unknown of what the school day looks like, school activities, and District events. Please know that teachers and guidance counselors are here waiting to help navigate the new school year! Together, as a school community, we will build on the traditions of the past and meet the challenges of the future.
If you haven’t already, please be sure to explore the Reopening & Planning tab on the district website. Many questions you may have are answered there.
