Dear Intermediate School Families,
Digital Citizenship Week Starts on Monday, October 18, and there is no better time to teach students how to participate safely and responsibly online. Intermediate School students engage in lessons on digital citizenship during their Digital Media Library class every year. The lessons are taught by Mr. Zissis and are designed by Common Sense Media specifically for students in grades 3, 4, and 5. Our students are communicating online and through devices every day, and with this comes a higher level of responsibility for students. Click here to review more information from Common Sense Media.
Please talk with your children at home about appropriate use of their school issued device. Remind them that teachers utilize GoGuardian technology to monitor student use on their school Chromebook and it is connected to their school-issued gmail account. GoGuardian is also a wonderful tool for teachers to engage students and structure their online learning. Also, remind your child that they should not have their Chromebook (or a mobile phone) out on the bus. It should be safely stored in their backpack.
As always, we greatly appreciate your support and partnership in your child’s educational journey!
If you enjoy working with children, we would love for you to join our team (or as we call it, our "CV family")! Click here to explore the various employment opportunities within CVSD, which include full-time, part-time, and substitute options.

2021 CVIS Horseshoe Hustle
The Horseshoe Hustle is a school-wide jog-a-thon focusing on physical activity, healthy eating, and school spirit! Being our biggest fundraiser of the year, students seek pledges from friends and family in support of the jogging they will complete during the event on November 4. Click here for more information.
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.
