We have missed our “Little Colts” more than ever and are excited for the 2020-2021 school year to get underway soon!
The first day of school is Monday, August 24, 2020.Click herefor FAQs, parent resources, and information surrounding the District's Reopening Plan. Information regarding orientation
Please log in to Infinite Campus (either your student's account or your parent portal account) to view your child’s homeroom teacher. For additional information about your child’s teacher, including room number and email address, please click here. Our homerooms were developed in a coordinated effort. This process creates more specialized schedules and maintains an appropriate classroom balance. Parent input was an important feature of this process. The information provided in the “Student Placement Form” offered insight for the student placement team regarding your child’s academic and social strengths and needs.
The CV Cyber Academy application is now closed to allow for planning. Enrollment requests and changes should be directed to the Primary School Assistant Principal Marc Hubert.
This year, we also had many additional factors due to COVID-19 and starting the school year in a hybrid and virtual environment. We appreciate your support and patience as we navigated the “new normal” while keeping health and safety at the forefront of all of our decisions.
Visit ps.cvsd.netto find this year’s supply lists under the Parent Resources tab. There is a note on each grade level's supply list for CV Cyber Academy students, too. Also on the website, you will find a day rotation calendar. During the first few days of school, homeroom teachers will communicate more about day rotations and special area classes. We have added a new technology course at the Primary School so we will operate on a 6-day rotation. In addition, a round trip folder will come home with important information. Please review this folder and return the necessary paperwork. Open communication with your child’s homeroom teacher is an important component of your child’s success at CVPS. We encourage you to reach out to the classroom teacher about any questions or concerns you may have.
Unfortunately, due to the restrictions in place from COVID-19, we cannot allow students to give birthday treats to their classmates this year. Please work with your teacher to find a way to celebrate your child despite this guideline. Teachers and classmates can still sing “Happy Birthday” to your child and you may choose to donate a game for the classroom or a book. A nice touch would be having your child select the book, sign it, and date it. When the teacher reads the book to the class, your child will feel extra special!
Be sure to follow us on Instagram. We use Instagram as a main source of communication regarding “all things Primary” in CV. Follow us @cvsdprimary for regular updates.
Bus information is sent directly from our Transportation Department. If you plan to drive your student to school, the student drop-off is located at entrance #15 near the gymnasium. Drop-off time is between 8:45 am and 9:00 am. Pleaseclick herefor a visual diagram for morning drop-off. Parents who are picking up their child at the end of the day will need to complete the online pick-up form by 1:30 pm. The form can be found by clicking here. Parents should park and report to entrance #15 by 3:25 pm. A photo ID must be shown once inside the school. Parents and students will reunite in the new gym at the end of the day this year.
Chartiers Valley offers free and reduced-price meals to students who qualify under state guidelines. Parents may obtain an application at any school office, at ps.cvsd.net/services/food-service, or apply online at www.compass.state.pa.us. Participants must reapply every year. School lunch menus can also be found on the district’s website.
Thank you for your patience and support during the summer and as we open our doors soon. We look forward to seeing or “Little Colts” whether in person or virtually. Regardless of the environment, we are all still a strong, united and connected CVPS Family! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Primary School Office at 412-429-3270.
