CVHS February Newsletter

Our mission is to create an environment so that all are successful.

We value learning, connection, and growth.

The new semester began on January 28. It was a day that began without missing assignments or excessive absences. It introduced new classes and new teachers. It was a fresh start. We encourage everyone to make the most of this opportunity and the great possibilities that it holds. For students, do your best. For parents, help to ensure that your students are doing their best. Check on grades and attendance and address small concerns before they become big concerns. Reach out for help when needed.

This is scheduling month. Please plan to talk to your student about scheduling, look at our course book and scheduling forms when they are presented, and plan to attend our parent meetings:

• Monday, February 10 - Rising Freshmen - Class of '29
• Tuesday, February 11 - Rising Sophomores - Class of '28
• Wednesday, February 12 - Rising Juniors - Class of '27

Those meetings all take place at 6 PM in the auditorium.

In addition, please join us for Curriculum Fair 2025

• Wednesday, February 12, 6:30 - 8:00 PM in the main building cafeteria
• All grade levels are encouraged to attend.

All students are expected to exit the building by 2:20 unless they are participating in a supervised school activity at that time. This expectation is important for everyone's safety and security. Please help us by ensuring that your student has a ride home at 2:20.

Each year, as a part of our cycle of continuous improvement, we survey our students, parents, and staff. The parent survey is below. We would greatly appreciate you sharing your thoughts about how we are doing. Thank you!
