Dear Primary School Families,
It is hard to believe we are already at the end of January. Our students are continuing to focus on academics and relationships as we continue to move through this third nine weeks of instruction.
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!
Global Play Day
Global Play Day will take place on February 2, 2022. This was created by educators in an effort to support unstructured playtime for students around the world. CV Primary will take part in this experience with scheduled activity zones for classes to utilize surrounding an Olympic theme. The shared connection of reading will also take place as February 2 is also World Read Aloud Day.
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.
Kids of Steel
Thank you for your patience during our first-morning drop-off for Kids of Steel last Tuesday. 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. 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.
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.
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!
