Here are a few ways to "Win the Day"

• "Flip the Script" on struggles/challenges and make them successes!
• Follow "Kaizen" - strive for continuous improvement each day!
• "Be Kind" - smile, say hello, look out for your fellow vikings! Remember - everyone is going through a battle we may not know.. Be Kind Always!

Serrano Ave - Dismissal

• The City of Villa Park recently refurbished Serrano Ave. In doing so, the crosswalk at Dodson Way was removed. To keep the flow of traffic moving, this crosswalk will not be replaced.
• Students MUST cross at the Serrano Ave curve crosswalk OR Serrano/Featherhill Dr. crosswalk
• We understand this will cause an inconvenience in picking-up your child, BUT safety to all students and families is TOP PRIORITY.
• PLEASE DO NOT have your child cross Serrano in the middle of the flow of traffic

The sale of food or beverages by students is PROHIBITED.

• Students are not allowed to sale any type of food or beverages to other students. Please communicate with your child to NOT purchase food or beverages from their peers.

On Thursday, CV students will have the opportunity to learn about the many Clubs on CV campus! We invite ALL students to get involved in a Club or Activity while attending CV!!
