Dear Primary School Families,
We have already reached the middle of November. As we approach Thanksgiving, we think about all that we are thankful for this year at CVPS. The dedication of our students and staff, the support of all the parents and guardians, and the community pride help to make CVPS a wonderful place. During this season of thanks, we want to extend our thanks to everything you do to help the students of CVPS. We could not do what we do without your support and passion!
CVPS held it's student election to decide on a special theme day for November 25. Out of the voting options, Mix and Match/Wacky Wednesday won the election. On the 25, we encourage all students to wear mix and matched clothing and/or whacky attire. Please remember that no face coverings are permitted except for face masks/face shields for COVID-19.
Our SRO, Officer Dan Elway, continues to work to integrate safety throughout CVPS. Officer Dan has added first aid lockers throughout the Primary School for staff to access in case of an emergency. We are thankful for all the hard work Officer Dan does to continue to improve CVPS's preparedness.
Attention kindergarten and new student families: Today, our T-Shirt Tuesday shirts were sent home with students. These shirts are encouraged to be worn every Tuesday throughout the school year. The shirts are used as part of our school-wide positive behavior programming. Students who attended CV last year should continue to wear their shirts that were provided in the past.
November 20 will be the next CV Cyber Academy Material Pick-Up day for the Primary School students. Students who are full time CV Cyber Academy students (always virtual) will be able to pick up materials at the following times:
- 9:00-10:00 - Kindergarten in the New Gym (enter Door 15)
- 10:00-11:00 - First Grade outside of Door 5 (far end of the building)
- 11:00-12:00 - Second Grade in the New Gym (enter Door 15)
CV Cyber Academy families with special requests should reach out to their child's teacher.
CVPS is pleased to invite every one of our families to participate in National Family Code Nights, a free live-stream family learning event on December 1 at 7:00 PM. Regardless of physical location, our school’s community can share this wonderful learning experience in which each child pairs up with a parent or other older partner to do their very first hour of coding together! No experience needed! Family members, teachers and educators can join the live-stream from home to enjoy an important, delightful experience. So save the date and get ready for a community learning experience the whole family will love and value. More information can be found by clicking here.
Our school continues to work with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Hero Squad to teach our students about kindness, bravery, and how working together for one common goal will help children and adults in their fight against cancer. Visit HeroSquad.org, find our school, and join your classroom team to raise money online! Money raised will help blood cancer patients right in our community by funding research, providing free information, financial and support services, and advocates for blood cancer patients. Thank you for your support of our Hero Squad!
The District has modified its upcoming holiday calendar dates to offer essential teacher professional development. Tuesday, December 1, and Monday, January 4 are now District Teacher Professional Development days. There will be no school for students on these days.
Have a wonderful week ahead!
