Dear CV Cyber Academy Families,

Welcome to the last full week of the nine weeks! It is hard to believe that the school year is almost 25% over. Waterfront Learning has begun to enroll students in second-quarter classes. Please note that these classes may appear as active courses for your child, however, students will not be able to access the coursework until the first day of the 2nd nine weeks on October 26.

Digital Citizenship Week Starts today, and there is no better time to teach students how to participate safely and responsibly online. Common Sense Media provides valuable information and resources for parents and guardians to help teach safe and responsible online behaviors. Chartiers Valley School District is a Common Sense Media School District. Information for parents and students can be found at www.commonsensemedia.org.

For the families transitioning to in-person learning, I wanted to thank you for being a part of our Cyber Academy during the first nine weeks. Returning students in grades 3-12 will continue to utilize their district-provided Chromebook for instruction and should take their devices to school with them. Students in K-2 grade will receive a district-provided iPad for in-person instruction. Chromebooks for returning K-2 students can be sent in the child's bookbag and labeled with a post-it note with their name and "Attention Mr. Hubert."

With the end of the nine weeks in one week, please remember that all 1st quarter courses must be completed by end of the day on October 25. Please utilize the Academic Snapshot and the Suggested Pacing tabs to ensure appropriate progress through each course. Course teachers will finalize grades based upon work completed by end of the day on the 25th. Once grades are finalized, grades will be viewable on the Genius platform and will also be entered into Chartiers Valley's Student Information System, Infinite Campus. If your child is behind pace, please use these coming days to get caught up.

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