Good afternoon Chartiers Valley Family and Community,
Governor Tom Wolf announced today that all schools will remain closed for in-person instruction for the remainder of the 2019-20 academic year. Decisions about how to handle graduation and other activities will depend on the extent of social distancing and stay-at-home direction in place as the graduation season nears. School leaders are exploring alternative options; however, it is our hope that by mid-May, some type of relief from restrictions will be granted and plans can be made accordingly.
I want to thank all who took the time to complete the District Wellness Survey. If you have not yet had the opportunity to do so, please

and let us know how your family is doing. The responses have been wonderful to read. The majority of you seem to be coping well given the circumstances.
In response to your requests for guidance in getting organized and tips to avoid going “stir crazy,” I have included below some helpful links which provide some guidance and ideas.
Please know how much it means to our teachers, principals, staff, and me to receive your support and encouragement. Your emails, sidewalk chalk messages, and comments on social media truly keep us going. Thank you! In return, we sincerely appreciate all you are doing at home to assist and motivate your students while managing your own workloads and household responsibilities.
These next few weeks will continue to be a challenge for all of us, but I am certain that together, we will forge through this crisis with strength and grace. Please reach out and let us know how we can support you. Communication between home and school has never been more important.
I wish you and your families health and safety and a wonderful spring break.
Best,
Johannah M. Vanatta, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
