Dear Primary School Families,
Welcome to the final days of school for 2020! It is hard to believe the calendar year is coming to a close and soon we will be welcoming 2021! As we look back on 2020, we are thankful for the amazing students, staff, parents/guardians, and community that we have at CVPS. We appreciate all of your flexibility during COVID-19 helping us adapt to meet the challenges and help all our students learn and grow. All of you are an integral part of this process.
As a reminder, we will have two theme days for the students and staff this week. On Tuesday, we encourage everyone to wear their ugly (or not so ugly) sweater. Wednesday will be our holiday parties and pajama day. The holiday parties are supported by our PTG. The PTG and their assigned homeroom parents will provide all the materials and snacks for the holiday parties. Due to allergies, COVID-19, and other factors, we cannot accept any items brought in by other individuals. Our winter recess begins on December 24 and students will return to remote instruction on January 5. In-person instruction will resume on January 11.
As we approach the end of the second nine weeks, many families have been considering a change of learning pathways between our hybrid +2, hybrid, or remote learning options. Changes can occur at the end of the second nine weeks, which is January 11. If you would like your child to switch pathways, please contact Marc Hubert and Megan Mouas no later than January 4 so arrangements can be made for transitions to begin on January 12, the first day of the third nine weeks. After January, the next opportunity to make changes to learning pathways will be at the end of the third nine weeks in March.
Our next CV Cyber Academy material pick-up will be held on January 8 in the gymnasium. All families should enter through Door #15. Families with students in more than one grade can coordinate one pick-up time with their CV Cyber Academy teacher. The times will be as follows for individuals in our full-time CV Cyber Academy:
- Kindergarten: 9:00-10:00
- First Grade: 10:15-11:15
- Second Grade: 11:30-12:30
We wish everyone a safe and wonderful holiday season and winter break and best wishes for 2021! We look forward to welcoming everyone back in 2021. Remember that January 4 is a professional development day for staff and no school for students. January 5-8 will be remote learning days for all students. Students will be welcomed back into the building on January 11.

Screenings
Our typical screening timeline for weight, height, vision, and hearing will be pushed back to a later time. Our department wants to ensure that screenings are performed in the safest way possible. If you have specific concerns about your child, please reach out to your building’s School Nurse.
Flu
Flu vaccines will be highly recommended this cold and flu season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Per the CDC, influenza vaccination will be paramount to reduce the impact of respirator illness in the population. Please contact your child’s health care provider for information on where to get a flu shot.
Our department is working hard to keep our students and staff healthy and safe. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your building School Nurse with any questions or concerns!
