Dear Primary School Families,
The Kids Heart Challenge has taken off at CVPS with a fantastic start, better than we've ever seen! The American Heart Association has informed us that CVPS is in the top 15 schools in their Eastern States Region! Ms. Estatico and Mr. Vaughan want to thank everyone for all the donations so far and they think we are on track to beat our previous record! Along with helping the American Heart Association, the Kids Heart Challenge promotes child health and helps provide resources to CVPS physical education department. Feel free to download the Kids Heart Challenge app on your wireless device!
The 3rd marking period has less than one month remaining so please stay up to date with your student's grades by logging into Infinite Campus. If you have any questions or concerns, your student's teachers will be happy to connect with you! If you have any questions about your child's attendance in Infinite Campus, our attendance secretary will be happy to assist you.
With the third nine weeks nearing its end, families may now be thinking of changes to their child's learning pathways. Changes can occur at the third nine weeks, which is March 15. If you would like your child to switch learning pathways to either hybrid +2, hybrid, or remote learning, please contact Marc Hubert and Megan Mouas 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 Mr. Hubert and Mrs. Mouas are mhubert@cvsd.net and mmouas@cvsd.net

Over the next 3 weeks, Officer Elway will be visiting each homeroom and providing a virtual presentation for our CV Cyber Academy students.

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.

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!
