from the principals
10 February 2020 | Chartiers Valley Intermediate School
Dear IS Families,

 We are excited that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! 

Valentine’s Day Parties will take place this Friday, February 14 at 2:15 pm. If you are sending in Valentines with your child, we ask that you refrain from sending in food items for the parties. The PTG will provide a class treat and has planned fun Valentine-themed activities for each classroom. Thank you for honoring this request. Alternative activities will be available for students who are not permitted to participate in Valentine’s Day parties. Please notify your child’s teacher by February 12 if you do not want your child to participate.  

Donuts with your Dude has been rescheduled for Friday, February 28. Please see the PTG news below for more information.

Due to the snow day on February 7, 2020, a make-up day is scheduled for Monday, February 17, 2020. Students, faculty, and staff should report for a regular school day on February 17. Per the Board-approved 2019-2020 District calendar, additional snow/weather make-up days are scheduled for April 9, 2020, and April 13, 2020, if needed. Also, check out the updated February IS day cycle calendar to reflect the snow day make-up day.
  
Thank you parents and families for your continued support and partnership in your child’s education! Fun events like Kids of Steel Run Club or classroom parties are possible and extra special thanks to your support!  

Sincerely, 

Mrs. Franczyk, Principal
Mr. Schintz, Assistant Principal
