Super Colt Updates

December’s Super Colt character trait is compassion. This month, students will learn that compassion is caring about others, treating them with kindness, and feeling a strong desire to help people in need.

Talk with your child about some ways that you can show compassion as a family during the month of December. Ask them what they have learned about compassion in school.

Kids of Steel

We are excited to start Year 9 of our Kids of Steel program at CV Primary School. This program was designed to promote physical activity in our youth. The program focuses on exercise, nutrition, and healthy lifestyle choices.

This is a great experience for children and families alike! The goal is for students to track 25 miles, with the final mile being the Chick-Fil-A Kids Marathon on Saturday, May 6, 2023. (So, they run a full 26.2-mile marathon through their practices!) We will offer Wednesday morning training programs before school starting January 18, 2023, at CVPS from 8 am-8:30 am. 

Note: Children are not required to participate in the free before-school practice program to participate in the KOS Program on Marathon Day. Even if you cannot participate in the practice program, please sign up so we can get you a FREE CV shirt for Marathon Day. To register for the Marathon, the cost is $20; click here to sign up. Be sure to select the block that says Chick-fil-A Pittsburgh Kids Marathon and choose Chartiers Valley Primary School as the Kids of Steel site.

Interested students should sign up here! Registration will close on January 6th, 2023. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Territ at rterrit@cvsd.net.

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.
