22 November 2021 | CV Cyber Academy

Dear CV Cyber Academy Families,

Happy (early) Thanksgiving to all of our Cyber Academy students and their families. I hope you will find time over the long weekend to share laughs, break bread, and truly enjoy all of the little things in life. Waterfront Learning is set to have November 24-29 as No School days for students. Therefore, there will be no assignments shown as due on any of those dates. Please note, Chartiers Valley Thanksgiving Recess for students is November 25-30. Due to this difference in schedules, any assignments due on November 30 should be completed prior to the break, on November 24. This will keep all pacing on track for students and count for their attendance for November 24. If a student is behind pace, we recommend using the upcoming break to get caught up.

Chartiers Valley Class of 2024 is offering a day of babysitting on December 4 for students in grades K-5. Please click here for more information.

Below are the building-specific updates. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Middle School
  • T-Shirt Drive for National Junior Honor Society, Nov. 15- Dec. 22
  • The National Junior Honor Society is hosting a T-Shirt drive to benefit ZipWithUs, a charity that makes and donates custom port-access ZipShirts to pediatric hospitals & cancer patients nationwide. A Zip With Us shirt enables a child to keep his/her clothing on during the painful process of port device accessing during chemo, infusions and blood draws. This simple design maintains dignity, provides a sense of security and makes hospitals less scary.
  • We are collecting brand new T-shirts: sizes 2T-Adult XL that can be dropped off in the middle school office. Themes of dinosaurs, Disney characters, video games, princesses, trucks/cars, animals and super heroes are some of the most loved.
  • Learn more about ZipWithUs and how you can help.
