Dear Primary School Families,
We had some wonderful celebrations throughout the past week including 100s Day, Global Play Day, and World Read Aloud Day. The Primary School was able to kick off Global Playday with a second-grade parade celebrating the 2022 Olympic Games. Activities promoting play and social skills were included during this event. We also want to thank each of our families for both patience and the commitment to supporting our remote learning model during the latter part of the week.
Kids Heart Challenge
CV Primary is taking part in the Kids Heart Challenge again this year. It is sponsored by the American Heart Association and supports a great cause through fun activities while learning how to keep the heart and brain healthy. Last year, CV Primary broke a personal record with donations. Please CLICK HERE to view information from our Physical Education teachers explaining how your child can pledge for this great cause.
Career Readiness
Mrs. Mouas the school counselor is visiting our 1st-grade classrooms for a career readiness lesson. Our first graders are learning about Career Paths. A Career Path is all the jobs and educational experiences that a person will have in their lifetime. The book How Santa Got His Job is being read to the students to illustrate how a person's various interests and skills lead to different jobs in life. Please reinforce these concepts at home by discussing your interests and skills in relation to your various jobs. All the papers will be put in their career readiness folders that we keep for all students!
Valentine's Day Party
The Primary School's Valentine's Day classroom parties will be held on February 11. These classroom parties are sponsored by our PTG. Information about the Valentine's Day party, including information about student valentines cards, can be found by clicking here.
Two, Two, TWOs Day
February 2022 marks the end of the 222 days sequence in this century. In connection with this, the PS is celebrating 2-22-22. CLICK HERE for more information.
Kids of Steel
As a reminder, every Tuesday, there will be a slightly different traffic pattern for the Kids of Steel drop off which begins at 7:55 am. Parents dropping off for Kids of Steel will enter the campus and turn left in front of the building. Cars should line up starting at door 1 (main entrance). Please pull up as far as you can to allow more students to exit cards at one time. Drop off was very successful last week, and we will continue to keep traffic moving at a safe pace. Please see the MAP for a visual of this process. Again, this will be on Tuesdays only. Parents who are dropping off for school will follow the typical route.
Daily Student Drop Off
Please remember that normal drop-off is between 8:30 and 9:00 am. Students arriving after 9:00 am will be marked tardy to school and need to be signed in on the late arrival sheet. You must accompany your child to the front door if arriving after 9:00 AM, as our security officer is no longer outside once the school day beings.
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.
Kindergarten Registration for Fall 2022
Kindergarten registration for Fall 2022 is now open. All school-aged children residing within the Chartiers Valley School District, including students who attend private, parochial, placement, and charter schools, must register with the District registrar. Children turning 5-years-old on or before September 1 are eligible to attend Kindergarten in the fall. For more information, including the complete registration packet and list of required documents, visit the registration page on the District website.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week!
