20 September 2021 | Chartiers Valley Middle School
Hello Colt Families,

This week, Chartiers Valley schools will be participating in "Start With Hello Week," part of the Sandy Hook Promise. The week's activities will focus on teaching youth how to minimize social isolation, empathize with others, and create a more inclusive and connected school culture. We are asking students and staff to wear green on Wednesday, September 22 to show our support of this great cause.

Several of our school clubs & committees are now recruiting members. If your student is interested in any of the following clubs, please direct them to the sign up link or to email the advisor in charge.

Newspaper- A Dose of Colt Coffee
  • We are looking for writers, artists, photographers, web-designers and editors to create our school newspaper this year.  
  • Virtual meetings EVERY OTHER WEEK on Wednesdays.
  • We release several editions throughout the school year.  
  • First meeting on Wednesday, September 23th at 4 PM on Google Meet. 
  • We will have 4 in-person events for the newspaper team. In these events we will do team building, creative skills, and having some fun!

This school year our Food Service Department is experiencing some supply chain issues with numerous menu items for both breakfast and lunch. Some popular items are on backorder with no known restock date at this time. Please be aware that we are adjusting the menus when we are informed of any out of stock items and we are giving students other options to choose from during meal service. We ask for your patience during this time, we are doing the best we can with what products we are able to order. Please contact me if you have any questions and thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. 

Chartiers Valley School District is offering FREE breakfast and FREE lunch to every student, every school day. More information.
