Dear Intermediate School Families,
Last week Intermediate School students participated in activities presented by our local fire departments learning about fire safety and fire prevention. Thank you to the Bower Hill, East Carnegie, and Glendale Fire Departments for spending your day with our students!
On Friday students enjoyed an afternoon filled with games, activities, and snacks sponsored by the PTG. A huge thank you to the PTG and parent volunteers for making the afternoon such a spooktacular experience for our students!
This week students are looking forward to participating in the Horseshoe Hustle! The Horseshoe Hustle is a school-wide jog-a-thon focusing on physical activity, healthy eating, and school spirit! This is the PTG’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Students will be seeking pledges from friends and family in support of the jogging they will complete during the event. Students can win prizes when their donations reach different reward levels! The PTG is encouraging each student to raise at least $20 to help reach their $15,000 goal for the end-of-the-year activities! Click here to see the flyer for more details and links to donate and volunteer.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 2, CVSD will test the District messaging system in preparation for the winter season. You should receive a message (email, phone call, and/or text message) tomorrow afternoon, based on your message preferences in Infinite Campus. In the event of a school closure inclement weather, COVID-19, or other unforeseen circumstance, the District will shift to remote learning via Google Classroom (K-8) and Schoology (9-12), following the guidelines outlined on the District website.
Your input is needed! The Chartiers Valley School District is proud of its rigorous curricular programming and activities. The CV Curriculum Council, which is made up of administration, curriculum leaders, and department heads, works collaboratively to ensure that all academic programming is relevant to student needs, and aligned to the expectations set forth by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
This year, the Curriculum Council is conducting a needs assessment of the Science, Music, and Physical Education/Health curriculums to evaluate current academic programming and determine strengths and areas of development.
This process includes surveying teachers, students, and parents. Please take a moment to answer a brief parent/guardian survey regarding your child's experiences with the Science, Music, and PE/Health curriculum. Click here to take the survey. SURVEYS CLOSE TONIGHT AT 11:59 PM!
As a reminder, your child's report card is now accessible virtually through Infinite Campus as of Friday, October 29.
As always, we greatly appreciate your support and partnership in your child’s educational journey!

Mrs. Julie Franczyk, Principal

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.
