27 September 2021 | Chartiers Valley Primary School

Dear Primary School Families, 

We want to thank everyone for a great start to the 2021-2022 school year. Our goal is to provide effective face-to-face and cyber instruction this school year and create a safe, collaborative learning environment where children, teachers, staff, parents, and administration can work together to ensure that every child reaches their full potential.  

Start with Hello week was a great success at the Primary School last week. We hope that your child shared some ways that they can be a friend to others just by starting with "Hello!"

Chartiers Valley High School's National Honor Society is offering an online tutoring program under the direction of Sarah Koons. Below is the link to sign up for the program if you are interested in this additional support for your child.


As a reminder, families are not permitted to use the playground after signing students out from school nor at the end of the school day due to afterschool services utilizing this space. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
Sincerely,

Emily Mather, Academic Principal
Anissa Rosenwald, Program Principal

It is time for the 2022 National School Bus Safety Week Poster Contest! This is a great opportunity for students to learn about school bus safety while promoting it to others. Details for entering this fun and educational contest are found at the following link.
 
From the PTG
Shop our Virtual Scholastic Book Fair  from September 27 - October 10 and help us reach our school-wide goal of selling 700 books. Each student will earn one Book Buck for each book they purchase during the fair. Every student at the school will also receive a Book Buck each time the school reaches a 25% benchmark towards our overall goal. Book bucks can be redeemed for prizes at a later date.

We are hosting a Dine to Donate event at the Chipotle on Cochran Rd. on Saturday, October 2 from 4 – 8pm. Check Peachjar for more information.

The next PTG meeting will be on Wednesday, October 6 at 7pm via Google Meet. meet.google.com/acg-htmi-zof

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.
The COVID-19 case count dashboard is updated daily around 4:00 pm and is always available for viewing on the District website.

From the Cafeteria
Our Food Service Department is experiencing supply chain issues with numerous menu items for breakfast and lunch. Some popular items are on backorder with no known restock date at this time. We are adjusting the menus when we are informed of out of stock items and we are giving students other options. 

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.
Label Your Items
As a reminder, children are encouraged to bring a water bottle every day. Please put your child’s name on their water bottle, backpack, lunchbox, and anything else that is important to your child. In the event that an item is misplaced, having their name on it makes it easier for us to get that item back to them. 

Attendance
If your child is absent from school, please email the PS Attendance Secretary, PSattendance@cvsd.net
