Vietnam Veterans Provide a Powerful Learning Experience
Thank you to our Vietnam Veterans who spent Wednesday morning with our students, sharing their incredibly insightful and captivating first-hand accounts of the war in Vietnam. Year after year, these wonderful veterans return to CVHS to open the eyes of our students to the realities of war, which these gentlemen endured while still the same age, or slightly older than their young audience. Thank you (L-R) Gregg Connolly, Jim Jenkins, Jim Cromie, Curtis Simmons, Al Robinson, George Haught, Bob Rodrigues (moderator) and Jim Woods. Mr. Rodrigues (49 year CV faculty member, ret.) dug deep to be with us yesterday as the founder and moderator of the 24th Annual CVHS Vietnam Symposium. Thank you to our faculty organizers, Frank Brown, Jennifer Heffley, Kristen Steen, and Kelly Tobias. Thank you to our cafeteria staff, led by Susan Allan, for providing an excellent lunch for our special guests and to our custodial staff, Amber Michel & Lucas Hilty for helping with last minute changes?

Clubs and Activities Newsletter
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 its 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.
Remote Learning Guide
