Dear IS Families,
Today marks the beginning of National School Breakfast Week! Busy weekday mornings make it a challenge for many families to find time for a healthy breakfast. Fortunately, CVIS offers nutritious school breakfasts, complete with fruit and low-fat or fat-free milk, to ensure students are fueled for learning every school day. Each day students can enjoy a Grab ‘n Go breakfast from our cafeteria. Beginning today students will have a second breakfast location available once they enter door 2 (at the car line) to grab a breakfast on the way to class each day! Did you know that ALL school breakfasts and lunches are FREE to ALL students this year! Please encourage your child to start their day with a healthy and energizing breakfast.
The Spring Book Fair is happening now, online only! It begins today and ends on March 28. There are lots of great reading options for our students to continue to grow their reading skills and love for reading! The link to order online is:
The third nine weeks ends soon on March 15. Families may now be thinking of changes to their child's learning pathways. Changes can occur for the fourth nine weeks, which is Tuesday, March 16. If you would like your child to switch learning pathways to either hybrid +2, hybrid, or remote learning, please contact Julie Franczyk and Peter Schintz no later than March 8 so arrangements can be made for transitions to begin on March 16, the first day of the fourth nine weeks. After this date, there will be no more changes in learning pathways for the 2020-2021 school year. Email address for Mrs. Franczyk and Mr. Schintz are jfranczyk@cvsd.net and pschintz@cvsd.netst Cart Coming Soon!

Dental Visits
The Smile Mobile Dentist visits have been postponed until May due to COVID-19 concerns. As of now, the dates are as follows:
May 3, 2021 - Intermediate School
May 4, 2021 - Primary School
May 5, 2021 - Middle School
Screenings
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. Per the CDC, influenza vaccination will be paramount to reduce the impact of respirator illness in the population. Please contact your child’s health care provider for information on where to get a flu shot.
Our department is working hard to keep our students and staff healthy and safe. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your building School Nurse with any questions or concerns!
