Student Password Update
In the interest of data security, all CVMS students will be required to change their Google passwords this week. Students in 6th grade will reset their passwords on Wednesday, March 2, and students in 7th and 8th grade will reset their passwords on Thursday, March 3.
This password is used to access student Chromebooks and the Google suite (Classroom, Gmail, Drive, etc.). Parents and guardians are encouraged to reiterate the following password safety tips with your children:
- Do not share your password with your friends and classmates, but consider sharing it with a parent or trusted adult in case you forget it.
- Choose a password that is memorable, but not easy for someone else to guess. Using your name or birthday is not recommended.
- Passwords must be at least 8 characters in length.
Students are responsible for remembering their new passwords and will not be excused from completing assignments if a password is forgotten. Additional password resets will require an in-person visit to the technology office, as passwords cannot be emailed to out-of-domain (non-CVSD) email addresses at this time.
Please contact the technology department or a Middle School principal with questions or concerns.
PSSA Dates
The Middle School will be conducting PSSA testing on the following dates:
April 26, 27, 28 and May 3 &4.
Sarris Candy Fundraiser
CVMS Student Council is hosting a Sarris Candy Fundraiser now-March 4. Delivery date is April 4. Profits from the Sarris Candy sale will be used for building-wide and grade-level events such as field trips, celebrations, and team building. Proceeds are attributed to each grade level and will follow the students throughout middle school. Orders can also be placed online at https://www.sarriscandiesfundraising.com/default.aspx using the group code 10-0885. Thanks for your support!
6th Grade Dance Rescheduled
The 6th grade dance will be held this Friday, March 4th from 3:15-5:15. (Students attending the dance will simply stay at school after dismissal) The cost is $5/student and should be purchased in advance. If your child has already purchased a ticket, no action is needed. Refunds will be given if the student is unable to attend. Tickets are available to purchase in the office until Wednesday, March 2.
Parkway West Open House
Parkway West is hosting an Open House on Monday, March 7th from 5-7 PM. Students & families are welcome to tour the facility and learn about programs offered. Each program is preparing an engaging classroom experience for the visitors. This is a great opportunity for students who have completed scheduling already to visit or those that may have missed Career Exploration Day. Click here for more info.
Updated CDC Mask Guidance
On Friday, February 25, 2022, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued updated guidance regarding COVID-19 Community Prevention. Masks will continue to be optional for anyone at Chartiers Valley School District. Furthermore, according to this latest update, masks are no longer required on CVSD buses and vans.
At this time, other forms of mitigation will remain in place, and the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) guidelines regarding COVID-19 remain in effect. 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.

Sincerely,
Dr. Michele Welter, Principal
