Hello Colt Families,
Last week, CVMS students attended a school-wide assembly entitled "The Science of Hockey" presented by the Carnegie Science Center in affiliation with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Students watched demonstrations of how the science of physics works behind the game of hockey. Presenters demonstrated speed, inertia, friction and laws of motion. Students experienced moving bowling balls, hockey pucks, and effects of nitrous oxide gas on objects. Thank you PTSG for bringing CVMS this fun and educational assembly!
The Scholastic book fair is running at the Middle School October 4-8. Students will have the opportunity to go with their ELA classes throughout the week but it is also open during all periods with teacher permission. Students are able to pay with cash, check, or eWallet. Follow this link to create an eWallet for your child. A portion of all book sales goes toward a MS library book fund. The library will also be selling used books for cash donations during this time. All cash donations will be used to replace missing library books.
The Chartiers Valley Middle School Student Council is accepting applications for the 2021-2022 School Year. Student Council is a group that plans and organizes events throughout the year. We also provide student support for other building-wide activities, such as tour guides for orientation, greeters for Open House and Career Day, and student input for the Cafeteria. If your child is interested in joining us this year, please complete this Student Council Application. The first in-person meeting will be on Tuesday, October 12, 2021.

As a safety net for students who may be struggling, a student wellness survey will go out on the following dates to the following grades. The intention of the survey is to offer students a place to confidentially share any concerns they may be having with regards to their mental health. School Psychologists and Student Assistance personnel and/or School Counselors will follow up with students if any concerns are indicated in order to offer support services to students, and parents as appropriate.
- Monday, October 4th: Grades 6, 9, and 12
- Wednesday, October 27th: Grades 7 and 10
- Monday, November 15th: Grades 8 and 11.
Have a great week!

From the Nurse
Please be sure to review the COVID-19 Updates page on the District website, which includes answers to a list of FAQs.
From the Cafeteria
This school year our Food Service Department is experiencing some supply chain issues with numerous menu items for both breakfast and lunch. Some popular items are on backorder with no known restock date at this time. Please be aware that we are adjusting the menus when we are informed of any out of stock items and we are giving students other options to choose from during meal service. We ask for your patience during this time, we are doing the best we can with what products we are able to order. Please contact me if you have any questions and thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
Chartiers Valley School District is offering FREE breakfast and FREE lunch to every student, every school day. More information.
We are also offering an a la carte snack menu this year for students who wish to pack their lunch and buy snacks.
From the Athletic Office
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. This includes Friday night football games.
