Help Kids Fight Cyberbullying and Other Mean Online Behavior

Most kids will encounter mean behavior at some point in their digital lives. For some kids, this experience is a blip that's easily forgotten, while for others, it can have deep, long-lasting effects. For parents, the key is staying involved in kids' lives -- both online and off -- so they can step in and offer help if necessary. With guidance from parents and educators, kids can learn how to dodge drama and stand up for others. Check out these tips from Common Sense Education to help your child stand up to cyberbullying.

Attention Seniors: Reminder to order your Cap & Gown. Contact Mrs. Doherty with questions cdoherty@cvsd.net or 412-429-2273.

Winter Weather Reminder--Flexible Instruction Days

As winter approaches, we want to ensure you are prepared for winter weather. If snow, cold, or ice forces us to close the school buildings, students will switch to a Flexible Instruction Day (FID). These are asynchronous learning days, meaning you can work at your own pace. All students in grades K-12 must log in for attendance purposes through Infinite Campus. Click here for the login instructions.

Work for the day will be posted in Google Classroom (K-8) or Schoology (9-12), and teachers can help by providing correspondence during their teaching hours.

If you do not have internet access, please let your teachers know. Discounted internet service may be available; click here to learn more.

Please contact your teachers or building principals if you have questions about Flexible Instruction Days.

Congratulations to the CV Senior Student-Athletes who signed on National Letter of Intent Day to continue their athletic careers in college.

Happy February, Chartiers Valley Families,

It seems as if the year is flying by as we just celebrated the 100th day of school. I am sure many of your students had fun activities surrounding the 100th day.

February always seems like the calm before the storm, as spring musicals, celebrations, and other activities will soon occur. We are excited to share our students' hard work and accomplishments with you.

Some exciting news from our schools and your students recently are:  

PS-The Primary School staff utilizes the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Colt Cart. Teachers discuss a topic and reward students with Super Colt tickets for positive behaviors. 

IS-The IS learned all about space and Pittsburgh's connection to going to the moon with a visit from the new Moonshot Museum. 

MS-The middle school is bringing Virtual Reality to life thanks to the grant for VR devices. Using these new devices, the students traveled worldwide and into space! 

HS-The High School hosted its first Elective-Palooza, an excellent opportunity for underclassmen to learn more about available elective courses by speaking with students and teachers.

These learning opportunities could not be possible without our parents and guardians providing the foundations for our students' learning. I truly believe it takes a village to raise a child. 

The education we provide our students prepares them for their future and the good of our community, region, and even globally. 

As Dr. Martin Luther King so wonderfully stated, "Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education."

I am so very proud of the work of our students and staff. It is an honor to serve this community.

Johannah M. Vanatta, Ed.D.
