English Festival Invitation
All CVMS students are invited to participate in the English Festival event sponsored by the Western Pennsylvania Council of Teachers of English. English Festival is a battle-of-the-books type competition that takes place against other schools and includes a live presentation from an author of one of the books used in the event. The event for 6th grade is on Friday, April 29 at Seton LaSalle High School. More information for 6th grade including permission forms can be found here. The event for 7th and 8th graders is on Wednesday, May 11 at Duquesne University. More information for 7th and 8th grade including permission forms can be found here. Permission forms are due by Friday, April 8. Please contact abouch@cvsd.net with any questions. We hope many students will participate in this wonderful reading opportunity!
It's Spring! Reminder of School Dress Code
Mr. Knause and I have teenage children. We understand the many difficult teenage conversations regarding finding school clothes that fit the district's policy and what the students like to wear. But, the dress code states: Strapless, short shorts, short skirts, hats, midriff or open back showing, pants/shorts hanging off the hip, and any inappropriate statements on clothing are a few examples of the items not permitted. The building is airconditioned so dressing in layers is strongly recommended.
We are asking parents to have the same conversations with the students. If your gut tells you that it should not be worn, or if you have to bypass a teacher upon arrival because of your outfit, then do not wear it!
Students violating the dress code will be asked to change; repeated offenders will be disciplined according to the code of conduct.
Our Science department compiled a list of summer science opportunities. Check out the link.
Updated CDC Mask Guidance
On Friday, February 25, 2022, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued updated guidance regarding COVID-19 Community Prevention. Masks will continue to be optional for anyone at Chartiers Valley School District. Furthermore, according to this latest update, masks are no longer required on CVSD buses and vans.
At this time, other forms of mitigation will remain in place, and the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) guidelines regarding COVID-19 remain in effect. Please use this form to notify the District that your student has been exposed, has symptoms, or has tested positive for COVID-19. Rather than emailing various staff members, completing this form will allow us to streamline communication directly to the school nurse and be more efficient in our response. All submissions are confidential. For your convenience, this form is also available on the District website under "one clicks" and on the COVID-19 page.

Sincerely,
Dr. Michele Welter, Principal
