Hello Colt Families!
It's officially the start of the second semester! We are going to have a great second semester. We had a great Celebration of Excellence this past Friday! Thank you to all the staff and students for a wonderful time. Reminder to please dress appropriately for the winter weather. Also, dressing in layers is a good idea because certain parts of the school building may feel colder than other areas.
Tips for Cell Phones and New Electronics:
Many students have received new technology devices since the winter break. Please sit down with them at home and review the pros and cons of having these devices. Many of these devices are connected worldwide and our students have access to many different things (some connections can be dangerous or inappropriate) 24/7. Please review social media apps such as Snapchat. We have been having many issues here at school with the apps and students not understanding the ramifications of taking pictures, filming (filming/videotaping is not allowed in our schools or on our buses), or downloading items/pictures that often times is too late and students have disciplinary school measures and law enforcement measures.
Important Chromebook Information
Our technology team has recently seen an increase in Chromebook incidents resulting in repairs. This is a reminder that the District's Device Policy does not cover accidental or intentional damage to the device as determined solely by the Chartiers Valley School District. Device insurance is available and can be purchased anytime during the school year. We encourage all families to buy the coverage. Just $20 a year covers accidental damage. Families can purchase device insurance at www.one2onerisk.com. All physical components of the device due to accidental damage, cracked screens, fire, lightning, liquid damage, electrical surge, or theft of the device, WITH a police report, are covered.

Winter Weather Reminder--Flexible Instruction Days
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.
Let's Make it a Great Week!
Dr. Welter, Mr. Miele, & Mrs. Beckett
