Dear Primary School Families,
It is hard to believe we are officially on our final day of the first nine weeks marking period. Staff members will be working hard to finalize marking period grades for first and second-grade students throughout this week. Report cards will be accessible virtually through Infinite Campus starting Friday, October 29 at 4:00 PM. As always, if you have any questions about your child's grades, please do not hesitate to reach out to their classroom teacher. A reminder that kindergarten students only receive a report card at the end of the second and fourth nine weeks. Conferences are scheduled for November 1 and 2 creating a great opportunity to discuss questions. We are very excited to welcome back students from cyber instruction for the second nine weeks.
Once again, our PTG has purchased a blue anti-bullying t-shirt for each and every one of our kindergarten students and all new students. The shirts have our school expectations on the back: Be Safe, Be Responsible and Be Respectful. Those students will receive their free shirt during school tomorrow, Tuesday, October 26. All students are encouraged to wear their blue anti-bullying shirt every Tuesday throughout the school year. If your child needs a new shirt, you can send $10 cash into school in an envelope labeled with your child's full name, t-shirt size and teacher's name. We have a limited supply of children sizes small and medium available for sale.
On Wednesday, November 3 we will have an anti-bullying kick-off assembly about our Buddy Benches for kindergarten students. We are encouraging all students and staff to wear their blue anti-bullying shirt to school that day. (As a reminder, there is no school for students on November 1 & 2 due to parent-teacher conferences.)
Mrs. Mouas the school counselor is visiting the Kindergarten classrooms this week to introduce herself to the students as well as doing a career readiness lesson. Students will brainstorm different jobs they are interested in pursuing when they get older, with completed work organized and documented as part of Chapter 339, Career and Future Readiness.
Your input is needed! The Chartiers Valley School District is proud of its rigorous curricular programming and activities. The CV Curriculum Council, which is made up of administration, curriculum leaders, and department heads, works collaboratively to ensure that all academic programming is relevant to student needs, and aligned to the expectations set forth by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
This year, the Curriculum Council is conducting a needs assessment of the Science, Music, and Physical Education/Health curriculums to evaluate current academic programming and determine strengths and areas of development.
This process includes surveying teachers, students, and parents. Please take a moment to answer a brief parent/guardian survey regarding your child's experiences with the Science, Music, and PE/Health curriculum. Click here to take the survey.
If you enjoy working with children, we would love for you to join our team (or as we call it, our "CV family")! Click here to explore the various employment opportunities within CVSD, which include full-time, part-time, and substitute options.
Have a wonderful week.
