Thousands of Pennsylvania kids under 19 could lose their CHIP health plan coverage if they fail to renew their eligibility now that the public health emergency has ended. This has a direct impact on the health and wellness of your students. CHIP families are again required to complete their renewal information using the state COMPASS system to maintain their child’s State coverage. Highmark HEALTHY KIDS can provide helpful details and assistance for those families who need to complete their CHIP renewals or no longer qualify for Medicaid. CHIP coverage, an HMO offered by Highmark Healthy Kids is affordable, comprehensive health insurance. All kids who are under 19, residents of PA, are a U.S. citizen, U.S. national or qualified alien, and do not qualify for Medicaid are eligible for CHIP, regardless of income.

CVSD is willing to cooperate with community organizations and agencies regarding the notification of activities to parents within our district. In an effort to conserve resources, the district will post approved flyers to the district website.
To have your activity notification approved to be posted, the following guidelines must be followed:
Your organization or program must benefit District students, families and/or residents.
Each flyer must be approved by the Superintendent or designee. You may forward a copy of the flyer for consideration to the Director of Safety and Communications by email (in Word or .PDF format) to mullerm@cvcolonials.org drop off at the district office, or by USPS. The flyer will be reviewed, and the organization will be notified of the approval or disapproval.
After gaining proper approval, the flyer will then be posted on the district website throughout the duration and/or registration of the activity. Teachers and staff will not personally distribute flyers in the school buildings.
The Conewago Valley School District is not affiliated with these activities and neither encourages or discourages a student's participation.
