Dear Primary School Families,

There was a lot of excitement last week during the Halloween parade and parties. Be sure to see the pictures below from the celebrations. Thank you to our PTG for helping to organize this event. We also want to show our appreciation to so many of our parents and family members who took time out of their day to support our Halloween celebrations. It was wonderful having such a large number of families and friends present to enjoy the events.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 2, CVSD will test the messaging system in preparation for the winter season. In the event of a school closure inclement weather, COVID-19, or other unforeseen circumstance, the District will shift to remote learning via Google Classroom (K-8) and Schoology (9-12), following the guidelines outlined on the District website.

As a reminder, your child's report card is now accessible virtually through Infinite Campus. Final grades from the first nine weeks were released at 4:00 PM on Friday, October 29. Please note, Kindergarten students only receive a report card at the end of the second and fourth nine weeks.

Today and tomorrow, Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled. We look forward to seeing many of you in the building to discuss your child and their progress. Please be sure to wear a mask while you are at CVPS. If you have any questions about your meeting date/time, please contact your child's homeroom teacher.

All students and staff are encouraged to wear the blue anti-bullying t-shirt to school this Wednesday, November 3 for a special event. The shirts have our school-wide positive behavior and intervention support message on the back: Be Safe, Be Responsible and Be Respectful. If your child needs a new shirt, you can send $10 cash to school in an envelope labeled with your child's full name, t-shirt size, and teacher's name. We have a limited supply of children sizes small and medium available for sale.

Your input is needed! The Chartiers Valley School District is proud of its rigorous curricular programming and activities. The CV Curriculum Council, which is made up of administration, curriculum leaders, and department heads, works collaboratively to ensure that all academic programming is relevant to student needs, and aligned to the expectations set forth by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

This year, the Curriculum Council is conducting a needs assessment of the Science, Music, and Physical Education/Health curriculums to evaluate current academic programming and determine strengths and areas of development.

This process includes surveying teachers, students, and parents. Please take a moment to answer a brief parent/guardian survey regarding your child's experiences with the Science, Music, and PE/Health curriculum. Click here to take the survey.

If you enjoy working with children, we would love for you to join our team (or as we call it, our "CV family")! Click here to explore the various employment opportunities within CVSD, which include full-time, part-time, and substitute options.

Have a wonderful week.

Sincerely,

Emily Mather, Academic Principal

Anissa Rosenwald, Program Principal
