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.
There's Music in the Air!
Band and Orchestra instruments are being delivered to the Intermediate School! Students will receive their instrument at their first lesson, if the instrument has been ordered and delivered. Lessons begin next week. Be sure to look for a note that will be given to your child with their lesson day and time. Questions regarding Orchestra: CVIS Orchestra or email: mkandrack@cvsd.net
