Dear Primary School Families,
A Special Announcement from our Incoming Academic Principal:
It is with great excitement that I share a newly created role to support academic achievement at Chartiers Valley Primary School! My name is Mrs. Emily Mather, and I will officially join the Primary School team on February 1, 2021 as the Academic Principal. I will work alongside Mrs. Rosenwald and Mr. Hubert to support academic development, curriculum, instruction, and assessment with a focus on K-2 foundational skills. I am currently in my fourteenth year in education with numerous roles including classroom teaching in Kindergarten, Third Grade, and Eighth Grade. I have also had the opportunity to support families, faculty, and staff through roles as a K-6 Instructional Coach, Dean of Students, Intervention Coordinator, Preschool Transition Liaison, and for the past two and half years as an elementary principal in the Freedom Area School District. I look forward to supporting the PS team and creating open communication with your family. We will help you navigate the communication process with our administrative team as this transition occurs officially on February 1. Please feel free to contact me with any questions pertaining to this new Academic Principal role at emather@cvsd.net.
Official report cards were available on Infinite Campus last Wednesday, January 20. These can be found by clicking on the "Documents" tab on the left-hand side. As always, grades can be viewed at any time under the "Grades" tab. Grades are fluid until officially posted at the end of each nine weeks. While in Infinite Campus, you can always check your child's attendance under the "Attendance" tab. If you notice any unexcused absences, please reach out to our attendance secretary at psattendance@cvsd.net.
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. We ask that you please complete this confidential survey. The survey 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 5, 2021 The link for the survey can be found by clicking here.
Our next CV Cyber Academy Material Pick-Up will be this Friday, January 29. Material pick-up will occur in the New Gymnasium and families are asked to enter through Door 15. The times are as follows:
- Kindergarten: 9:00-10:00
- First Grade: 10:15-11:15
- Second Grade: 11:30-12:30
CVPS is excited to announce that the Kids of Steel program is entering its 7th year at our school! This program focuses on exercise, nutrition, and healthy lifestyle choices. Due to COVID-19, Kids of Steel will be offered virtually this year. More information can be found by clicking here.
As a reminder, due to COVID-19, students will not be allowed to have Valentine's Day boxes or valentines this year. Our PTG will be providing activities, crafts, and more just as they have for the Halloween and Holiday parties. We appreciate your understanding.
It is a GREAT day to be a Colt!
