Dear CVHS Families,
What a great start to the year! It is wonderful to have our students and teachers back in the classroom. Thank you for your support and commitment to keeping our students in school and healthy.
The Head School Nurse Michelle Opferman and her team have prepared this important message for families. Please take a moment to read it, and feel free to contact her with any questions.
On Tuesday, August 31, the Pennsylvania Department of Health issued an order requiring face coverings in all school entities. Chartiers Valley Schools will be upholding this state mandate for all staff and students grades K-12 and on all district transportation beginning Tuesday, September 7. Please let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to continuing our efforts to keep our students, staff, and community healthy during the 2021-2022 school year.
The District has received several requests to discontinue the daily Health Status Update emails. Out of respect for those who are finding these emails to be overwhelming, we will no longer send daily messages. We will, however, continue to update the case count tracker on the website, and we are working on adding a "Students and Staff in Quarantine" section. Visit the COVID-19 Updates page on the District website for more information and answers to some FAQs.
In the event of school closure due to inclement weather, COVID-19, or other unforeseen circumstances, the District will shift to remote learning via Google Classroom (K-8) and Schoology (9-12), following these guidelines:
- On remote learning days, students must submit their attendance in Infinite Campus between 6:30 am and 12:00 pm or they will be marked absent.
- Students, teachers, and paraprofessionals should follow their schedules synchronously, checking in to each class at the appropriate times, and then working independently on school work as assigned by each teacher.
- If there is a 2-hour delay, schools will operate on a typical in-person 2-hour delay schedule.
- If a 2-hour delay is called and later becomes a full-day closure, students should complete assignments asynchronously to allow teachers ample time to safely travel to school.
Please remember that students younger than high school age must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of all District events and athletic competitions. Students may not be dropped off without a parent/guardian. This includes Friday night football games.
Have a great week!
