Dear Primary School Families,
We are in the home stretch for the 2020-2021 school year. This is the last full week for our kindergarten students! We wanted to remind everyone of a few announcements:
- On Thursday, May 20, local first responders will be on-site in the morning to conduct a walk-through of the building. Please note there will be an increase in emergency vehicles parked around the building due to this scheduled visit.
- Beginning Monday, May 24, we ask that all students bring their iPads and charging cables to school. iPads will remain at school the entire week for in-person students. Please ensure that all textbooks and other school materials are also returned that week. Students will still have access to utilize the iPads during the school day as needed.
- Students will receive yearbooks during the last week of school. They will be distributed to Kindergarten on May 24 and to grades one and two on May 25.
- May 25 will be our annual Fun Day! The PTG is organizing various activities for both our in-person and virtual students. This is also kindergarten's last day.
- Primary School CV Cyber Academy students will have material drop-off on May 28. This will include iPads, charging cables, textbooks, and other materials as directed by the CV Cyber Academy teacher. CV Cyber Academy families are asked to return materials at Door 1 (main entrance). CV Cyber Academy teachers will be on hand to say goodbye for the year. For families that cannot make the Friday drop-off times, an alternative drop-off is arranged for Thursday, May 27 from 4:30-6:30 PM. Please note that at the evening drop-off, classroom teachers will not be available. The times for May 28 are as follows:
- Kindergarten: 9:00-10:00 AM
- 1st Grade: 10:00-11:00 AM
- 2nd Grade: 11:00-12:00 PM
- For our second-grade students, we will have a second-grade send-off on May 28 from 1:00-2:00 pm. The second-grade send-off will be a drive-thru event where the staff of the Primary School will wish our second graders a wonderful summer and best wishes at the Intermediate School. For the send-off, cars will proceed up the main driveway and follow the directions and cones. Please note this send-off is only for second-grade students.
-
Because most K-12 students in Pennsylvania are not vaccinated and only a few weeks remain in the 2020-21 school year, PDE recommends school entities continue to follow their current mitigation strategies. Remaining consistent in approach will help to ensure the safety and well-being of school communities while minimizing disruptions that may result from significant revisions to existing plans and systems. In alignment with this guidance, CV students and staff should continue to wear masks at school through the remainder of the 2020-21 school year.
Over the past several weeks, we have discussed the upcoming National Family Code Night. Please note the date has changed. National Family Code Night is a free live-stream family learning event. This event will take place on May 25 from 5 PM to 6 PM. Save the date and get ready for a community learning experience the whole family will love and value. For more information, please visit National Family Code Night.
CVPS has once again earned the designation of being named a "No Place for Hate" School for the 6th year in a row! In order to receive this designation, CVPS participated in 3 unique activities throughout the year that promotes inclusion and acceptance. We are honored to carry this designation once again and will continue to promote the message each and every day.
We also want to remind families that enrollment for incoming Kindergarten students for the 2021-2022 school year is now open. Any child who turns 5 prior to September 1, 2021, can enroll in Kindergarten. Information can be found on the district website. Please share this information with any relatives, neighbors, or others that this may apply to. We encourage early registration as kindergarten screening will be held the last week of May!
Remember, it is a GREAT day to be a Colt!

Our typical screening timeline for weight, height, vision, and hearing will be pushed back to a later time. Our department wants to ensure that screenings are performed in the safest way possible. If you have specific concerns about your child, please reach out to your building’s School Nurse.
Flu
Flu vaccines will be highly recommended this cold and flu season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
