Dear Primary School Families,

We are off to a great start in this third nine weeks. It has been wonderful welcoming back students from virtual learning into the building and watching our students create positive relationships with one another.

Report Cards

Report cards are now available on Infinite Campus. Report cards are issued at the conclusion of each nine-week interval. Directions for accessing report cards can be found by clicking here.

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.

Update to Morning Drop Off & Kids of Steel

Every Tuesday, there will be a slightly different traffic pattern due to 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 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. 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.

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 (ACHD) 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.

Title One Parent and Family Survey

Chartiers Valley Primary and Intermediate Schools are Title I schools. As a parent/guardian of a child attending a Title I school, you are an important part of our Title I team. Your input is vital in the planning and implementation of parent and family engagement activities and professional development opportunities for our staff. The following survey is confidential and will be used to assist in future planning. We value and appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. The survey will be available through February 4, 2022. Please click HERE to complete this.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week!

Sincerely,

Emily Mather, Academic Principal

Anissa Rosenwald, Program Principal

Marc Hubert, Interim Administrator
