Dear Intermediate School Families, 

It is hard to believe that we are already in March!  Spring is officially upon us!  Please remind students that the weather changes in March quite drastically, and dressing in layers is probably in their best interest.  We will try to get students out for recess as much as possible to shake off the winter “stink” and get some fresh air!  A big shout out to our lunch and recess monitors, who have been fantastic this school year, keeping students engaged and active both during indoor recess and outside.  An even bigger shout out to the PTG for your generous donation of the indoor recess carts; the students have greatly enjoyed having alternative options. 

Sincerely, 

Mr. Schintz and Ms. Zalar

Mrs. Chidlow

Mrs. Chidlow has worked for CV since 2007 as a day-to-day substitute teacher and then, starting in 2009, as a paraeducator. Before this gig, she taught first grade for two years for Pittsburgh Public Schools and fourth grade for seven years for McGuffey School District. Lea is married to Tom Chidlow, and they have three daughters; Libby lives in Washington, DC, Abby is in Utah, and Rachel lives in California. They also have a dog named Molly, a certified therapy dog who makes trips with Lea to visit children at Holy Family, adults visiting the courthouse in Sharpsburg, and staff and faculty at CVIS! When she isn't at the Intermediate School, Lea leads bike tours for Wilderness Voyageurs Outfitters on the Great Allegheny Passage, skis out west with her daughters, hikes wherever there is a trail and goes road-tripping with Molly and Tom in their camper.

Mrs. Waldern

Mrs. Waldern is in her 15th year at Chartiers Valley. This is her 12th year as a paraprofessional at the IS. Before that, she worked in the office at the PS for 3 years. Mrs. Waldern worked in the corporate world before having her two boys, Shane (25) and Hunter (21). She decided to start working at CV so she could be closer to her boys since she volunteered most days anyway at the school. Mrs. Waldern lives in the district with her husband of almost 30 years, Steve, and Cardi (their dog). In her free time, Mrs. Waldern enjoys doing her DIY projects around the house, cooking big family meals on Sundays, and enjoying fun adventures with her family and friends.
