Dear Intermediate School Families,

Congratulations to the all of the CV students who participated in the Pittsburgh Marathon Kids of Steel Race on Saturday. They have been meeting once a week for the past few months to train and log their marathon miles! On Saturday, we ran the final mile of a marathon together as a team! Way to Go!

This week our students continue with PSSA testing starting with Math on Monday and Tuesday for all grades and Science on May 5 and 6 for 4th grade students. Please click here for a letter that details the testing schedule and pertinent information for this year's assessment. (Please note the letter has been updated to reflect the correct dates for the Science assessment, which is only administered to 4th grade. The 4th grade PSSA Science test will take place on May 5 and 6.)

From the Cafeteria

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.
