Dear IS Families,
March is National Reading Month! Let’s kick off this month with a fun challenge for Intermediate School students! We challenge our IS students to read as much as they can this month and tag us on Instagram @cvsdintermediate to show us what your child is reading. If you’re looking for ideas on how to motivate your child to read, take a look at the article, How to Raise a Reader, from Common Sense Media. Need something new to read? Take a look at this list of Best Books for Kids from Common Sense Media, click here.
The third nine weeks will end on March 15. Families may now be thinking of changes to their child's learning pathways. Changes can occur for the fourth nine weeks, which is Tuesday, March 16. If you would like your child to switch learning pathways to either hybrid +2, hybrid, or remote learning, please contact Julie Franczyk and Peter Schintz 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 Mrs. Franczyk and Mr. Schintz are jfranczyk@cvsd.net and pschintz@cvsd.net
Finally, a reminder that Spring pictures are this week. Thursday, March 4 is Spring picture day for in-person students and Friday, March 5 is Spring picture day for CV Cyber students. The picture schedule for CV Cyber students can be found by clicking here.

Daily Screening Reminder

If you have any questions about whether your child should stay home from school, please contact your School Nurse.
Health Services Website
Dental Visits
The Smile Mobile Dentist visits have been postponed until May due to COVID-19 concerns. As of now, the dates are as follows:
May 3, 2021 - Intermediate School
May 4, 2021 - Primary School
May 5, 2021 - Middle School
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. Please contact your child’s health care provider for information on where to get a flu shot.
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!
