Dear Primary School Families,
We are excited to have our Junior Achievement (JA) programs this week! In the past, we have welcomed local business individuals and high school students to present to our students. Due to COVID-19, this year's JA programming will be presented virtually through various videos and in-class activities facilitated by the classroom teacher. JA programs are utilized at all levels in Chartiers Valley and continually builds upon previous grades. These skills help inspire and prepare young people to succeed in their community and in a global economy through entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial literacy.
The district is hard at work planning for the 2021-2022 school year. This past week, our second grade teachers posted information on their Google Classrooms about transitioning to the Intermediate School next year. If you have not seen the information and videos yet, please check your child's homeroom teacher's Google Classroom.
Please note that our next CV Cyber Academy material pickup day will look slightly different. On April 30, grades Kindergarten and Second will continue with the typical pick up cycle. The change will affect FIRST GRADE only. First graders will shift dates in order to pick up their final materials during Spring Acadience testing the following week. First grade families, please look for postings in Google Classroom from your teacher pertaining to this change. Kindergarten and Second grade have specific materials needed earlier than first grade, causing the split dates.
We are excited to announce a slight change to our daily food service program in order to speed up lines, creating more time for students to eat. All students can now choose their own milk and fruit/vegetable while shifting through the lunch line. This task helps our students create independence while allowing a more efficient system.
As we near the end of the year, we want to remind families that enrollment for incoming Kindergarten students for the 2021-2022 school year is now open. Any child who turns 5 prior to September 1, 2021 can enroll in Kindergarten. Information can be found on the district website. Please share this information with any relatives, neighbors, or others that this may apply to. We encourage early registration!
As the weather improves, our students take part in numerous activities around campus daily. Please refrain from lining up at the side door for car rider dismissal prior to 3:00 PM in order to keep our activity zones clear from foot traffic. We ask that you stay in your car until this 3:00 PM timeframe to support our ongoing outdoor lessons and activities. Thank you!
Please note the changes to the end of year dates on the district calendar. The last day of instruction for students in first and second grade will be Friday, May 28. The final day for Kindergarten students will be Tuesday, May 25. More information about the end of year events is listed below in the PTG section.
Remember, it is a GREAT day to be a Colt!

The PTG provides a basic soft-cover yearbook at no cost. Upgrades to personalized covers as well as other enhancements are available to order online directly through Lifetouch. Look for the flyer that is sent home for more information. Cost of upgrades are used to offset the total cost of yearbooks for the PTG.
