Hello Colt Families,

Please read below for important information:

No Place For Hate Kindness Coins
The No Place For Hate Committee has been working on a new initiative to spread and promote kindness throughout CVMS. When a staff member catches a student being kind, they're awarded a "Kindness Coin" with a note describing the act. The student's photo will be displayed in our Commons and is given a raffle ticket to have the opportunity to win a prize at the end of the 9 weeks celebration. The kindness coin is theirs to keep and take home to share with loved ones. Check out this month's Kindness Coins recipients.


COVID-19 Symptoms/Exposure Notification Form
Please use this form to notify the District that your student has been exposed, has symptoms, or has tested positive for COVID-19. Rather than emailing various staff members, completing this form will allow us to streamline communication directly to the school nurse and be more efficient in our response. All submissions are confidential. For your convenience, this form is also available on the District website under "one clicks" and on the COVID-19 page.

The ACHD has updated its isolation/quarantine guidelines and has worked to develop this very useful app that assists in determining whether or not one should quarantine and for how long.


Remote Learning Guide
As we enter the winter season, we may have to shift to remote learning and want to ensure that everyone is prepared for the structure. Click here for a REMOTE LEARNING GUIDE.
Sincerely,

Dr. Michele Welter, Principal
Mr. Dan Knause, Assistant Principal

From the Nurse
Please be sure to review the COVID-19 Updates page on the District website, which includes answers to a list of FAQs.

The COVID-19 case count dashboard is updated daily around 4:00 pm and is always available for viewing on the District website.

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.
