Principal's Message
Welcome Back CV Family,
Our campus has been a busy place this summer, and we are still working to prepare for the start of the school year. As we prepare for a memorable year for the Class of 2022 and welcome the Class of 2025, I want to encourage our students and parents to seek opportunities to become engaged on our campus. Seek out the wealth of opportunities our clubs, athletics, performing and fine arts, Career and Technical Education programs, and more provide for our students. I firmly believe that students that are connected to their campus and engaged outside the classroom make successful transitions and have meaningful experiences throughout their time in high school. Find your place, Yotes!
Typically I will highlight important information contained within the newsletter or information I want to personally share with our school community in the format of Three Dots from Mr. Dumas.
Three Dots from Mr. Dumas:
TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC...Please be patient with each other as we navigate the traffic, parking, and construction around campus. We will work with students the first week of school on arriving on campus as the additional construction combined with the start of the school year may impact students’ ability to arrive on time. My advice is to drop off early and take advantage of the breakfast program as our campus and cafeteria will be open.
The best source of information from COVID protocols to bus routes and general back-to-school information can be found on the GPS Website for Families Hub. Please take advantage of this resource and also ensure that you get the information sent to the correct email address, phone number, and physical address by completing the Annual Update.
Link Crew’s Freshman Orientation is 8/3 from 7:30 am to 12:15 pm. All incoming students should take advantage of this opportunity to become acquainted with our campus, ride their bus routes, make connections with other students, teachers, and student leaders. More information is available below.
We are here to serve and support our students, and we are looking forward to the 2021-2022 school year. If we can ever be of any assistance, please feel free to contact us.
Best regards,
Mr. Tyler Dumas
Principal

Forms can be found on the Gilbert Public Schools website under Health Services or in the Health Office.

All medication will be in a properly labeled container from either the pharmacy for prescription medication or in the original container for over the counter medication. Make sure to check the expiration date.
*Narcotic pain medication will NOT be administered at school.
*If a medication needs to be administered daily or is a prescription medication, a “Request for School Administration of Medication” form must be completed by both the parent/guardian and doctor before medication may be administered at school. This includes any over the counter medication that indicates it is not to be give to anyone under the age of 18, usually medication containing aspirin (example: Excedrin). This form is available on the Gilbert Public Schools website under Health Services or from the CVHS Health Office. If having the forms completed this summer, please make sure they are dated AFTER 7/1/21.

sweep
Students who do not arrive to their first hour class on time will be redirected to the sweep room. A parent or guardian must physically enter the building to sign in the late student, otherwise the student will be directed to sweep. Parent phone calls will not excuse the sweep.
While in sweep students will not be able to work on assignments, socialize, or use any electronic devices. Procedures will be in place for students to make up class work and tests they may have missed when they were in Sweep. If a student is swept on a test day, the teacher will allow the student to make up the test. Students who have an assignment due will deliver it to the teacher that same day. All students will be informed of how the Sweep program will be integrated into their school day.
Students who demonstrate repeated tardy behavior will be subject to the progression of interventions and disciplinary action in an effort to encourage and teach proper time management skills. Consequences for sweep will go as follows:
1st Tardy Offense: Students will be sent to sweep for the remainder of the class period and it will be documented.
2nd Tardy Offense: Students will be sent to sweep for the remainder of the class period and receive a referral.
3rd Tardy Offense: Students will be sent to sweep for the remainder of the class period and assigned Saturday School.
