Dear Primary School Families,
On behalf of the entire CVPS faculty, we want to thank all the parents and guardians for very productive parent/teacher conferences last week. We encourage you to continue to be active in the education of your child throughout the school year. When school and home work collaboratively, the sky is the limit for what our students can accomplish.
Last Wednesday, CVPS held it's student election to decide on a special theme day on November 25. Out of the voting options, we are excited to announce that Mix and Match/Wacky Wednesday won the election. More information will be forthcoming about the day. Special thank you to all the students and staff for their participation and to Mrs. Mutschler and Mrs. Mueller for their organization of the student election.
This Thursday will be our Picture Retake Day with Lifetouch. Students who were absent on the original picture day or students who need their picture retaken will be able to have the pictures taken. This will occur during the first 2 hours of the school day. CV Cyber Academy students may arrive between 10:30 and 11:30 for Picture Retakes. Picture Retake Day remains optional.
Our school continues to team up with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Hero Squad to teach our students about kindness, bravery, and how working together for one common goal will help both children and adults in their fight against cancer. Visit HeroSquad.org, find our school, and join your classroom team to get started raising money online! Money raised will help blood cancer patients right in our community by funding research, providing free information, financial and support services, and advocates for blood cancer patients. Thank you for your support of our Hero Squad!
November 20 will be the next CV Cyber Academy Material Pick-Up day for the Primary School students. Students who are full time CV Cyber Academy students (always virtual) will be able to pick up materials at the following times:
- 9:00-10:00 - Kindergarten in the New Gym (enter Door 15)
- 10:00-11:00 - First Grade outside of Door 5 (far end of the building)
- 11:00-12:00 - Second Grade in the New Gym (enter Door 15)
CV Cyber Academy families with special requests should reach out to their child's teacher.
The District has modified its upcoming holiday calendar dates to offer essential teacher professional development. Tuesday, December 1, and Monday, January 4 are now District Teacher Professional Development days. There will be no school for students on these days.
Keep up the amazing work CVPS students, families, and staff. We are so thankful for the outstanding CVPS community that we have!

If you have any questions about whether your child should stay home from school, please contact your School Nurse.

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.
