Dear CVHS Families,

AP Exams

Students currently taking AP courses at CVHS must indicate whether or not they plan to take the AP exam for their course by October 4th. Students should log in to their account at https://apcentral.collegeboard.org and click “Register for Exam” to indicate they plan to take the exam. Students in need of assistance should speak to their AP teacher or Mr. Murray.

Start With Hello Recap

CVHS participated in Sandy Hook Promise’s “Start With Hello” Week last week. Homeroom teachers led discussions to help students understand how to see someone alone, reach out and help, and start with hello. CVHS students and teachers shared their reasons for helping others overcome social isolation online at https://padlet.com/tmurray25/StartWithHello_CVHS.

Student Wellness Survey

As a safety net for students who may be struggling, a student wellness survey will go out on the following dates to the following grades. The intention of the survey is to offer students a place to confidentially share any concerns they may be having with regards to their mental health. School Psychologists and Student Assistance personnel and/or School Counselors will follow up with students if any concerns are indicated in order to offer support services to students, and parents as appropriate.

Monday, October 4th: Grades 6, 9, and 12
Wednesday, October 27th: Grades 7 and 10
Monday, November 15th: Grades 8 and 11.

Open House & Post Secondary Night

The 2021-2022 CVHS Open House will be held on Thursday, September 30th from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm.

The high school will continue our tradition of using a “trade show” format for open house format. Specifically, rather than parents moving from classroom to classroom, our teachers will be grouped together by department. A map of locations will be provided the evening of open house. Having all faculty members from the department together not only allows you to meet your student’s teacher, but you can also learn more about future course offerings and course progression from year to year.

We also would like to encourage Juniors, Seniors, and their parents to attend a Post-Secondary Planning Seminar held the same evening as open house in the auditorium at 6:00pm. School Counselors will be sharing resources about exploring colleges, testing updates, applications, recommendation letters, Naviance, and official transcripts. https://hs.cvsd.net/services/school-counselors

This school year our Food Service Department is experiencing some supply chain issues with numerous menu items for both breakfast and lunch. Some popular items are on backorder with no known restock date at this time. Please be aware that we are adjusting the menus when we are informed of any out of stock items and we are giving students other options to choose from during meal service. We ask for your patience during this time, we are doing the best we can with what products we are able to order. Please contact me if you have any questions and thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Chartiers Valley School District is offering FREE breakfast and FREE lunch to every student, every school day. More information.

We are also offering an a la carte snack menu this year for students who wish to pack their lunch and buy snacks.
