It’s Not the Plane, it’s the Pilot! 2024-25 School Theme

Monday, September 30, 2024

Aviators,

It’s hard to believe it is October tomorrow. With that said, please help make sure that your student is on track to pass all of their classes. We have one more week until the end of the final grading period for term 1. Please take advantage of our after-school study activity with teachers and other volunteers who are here at CV to help. Please see # 2. below for more information.

1. Administration Message

This week, in our administrative message, I shared tips on “How to boost your likability score” with our students. It’s so important that we help students gain confidence and successfully navigate the social dynamics of high school. Link here to watch and please discuss these ideas with your child.

2. PTSA Reflections Information

The PTA Reflections program is happening now, and the theme this year is “Accepting Imperfections.” You have until October 8 to submit any form of art, including music and dance, for judging.

Aviators,

As we step into this new month, I want to remind you that the first term will wrap up on October 16th, which is just a month and a half away. To support your student’s success, I encourage you to review their Skyward assignments together every week. If you have any concerns or questions, please reach out to their teachers early. It’s disheartening to see students wait until the end of the term to submit assignments. Regular feedback from teachers is key to meaningful learning, helping students retain knowledge more effectively. Smaller, consistent efforts throughout the term make learning more authentic and provide ample opportunity for discussion and growth.

1. Admin Message this Week.

This week, Assistant Principal Bill Sivert shares a valuable lesson from his service in the United States Marine Corps. You can view his message here.

4. Floral of the Month!

It’s that time of the semester! Floral of the Month sign-up is available HERE, with a deadline of September 12. Thank you to everyone who has supported this program in the past. Our students love creating these arrangements, and we hope you’ve enjoyed them just as much!

For those new or unsure how the program works:

This program provides more opportunities for our students in Floral Design courses to fine-tune their arranging skills. Without this program, our students would only be able to complete 3 or 4 small arrangements for the entire semester. Floral of the month allows them to make larger arrangements and gain experience with different types of flowers!

Sign-up is available at the beginning of each semester. Each month, our floral design students create a seasonal arrangement, which we offer to you at wholesale cost. This gives students more practice, and you get a beautiful monthly flower arrangement at a fraction of the retail price! The cost is $120, including tax (an average of $30 per month for four months: September-December), paid in full by September 12. This is not a profit-making venture; the entire amount goes toward flowers and accessories. (If you prefer to make monthly payments, please email me to arrange that, though you must commit to all four months.)

5. JOIN PTSA- EVERY VOICE COUNTS

Did you know that the PTSA’s mission is to advocate for every child? For 125 years, the PTA has lobbied and helped pass important legislation, including hot lunches for students, all-day kindergarten, arts in education, and school safety.

We had an amazing Welcome Week with our students and are excited for many more great moments ahead. I’m eager to see progress toward our school priorities as we work to help your children create and pursue their dreams. Most importantly, I want every student to feel valued and loved. You’ve raised incredible children, and it’s truly an honor to serve them.

Please take note of the following:

1. Admin Message

Every Monday, students will spend a few minutes with teachers reviewing and learning about “behavior essentials” at CVHS. Click here to view our behavior essentials. This week’s message is about our first behavior essential, “Show Up.” Please click here to watch the video.

2. ACT and ASPIRE Testing Prep

One of our goals this year is to help our students feel more confident about taking the ASPIRE and ACT. ASPIRE, developed in partnership with ACT, predicts how well students will perform on the ACT. To support their preparation, we are providing weekly exposure to ACT materials to help them achieve better results.

Many students feel anxious about the ACT, but doing well can allow them to bypass lower-level math and English classes in college. Success on the ASPIRE and ACT also helps students prepare for the Accuplacer tests, which assess basic proficiency levels. Moreover, this foundational knowledge is crucial for future careers, as many trade jobs now require basic math and English skills to advance in the field. By dedicating time each Thursday to this preparation, we’re setting our students up for both academic and career success so they can create and pursue their dreams!

Seniors will have the chance to focus on ACT prep to be ready if they choose to retake the test. They can also use this time to work on college applications, resumes, scholarship applications, and other aspects of college and career preparation.

Curricular clubs do not need to recharter, while non-curricular clubs must recharter annually. Please refer to last year’s list to determine if your club was curricular or non-curricular. Applications are due by September 12th. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Reynolds.

Let’s make it a fantastic school year! See you soon!

Sincerely,

Courtney Johnson

Cedar Valley High School Principal

August 8, 2024

Aviators,

I am so excited to kick off another fantastic school year for 2024-25! Here are a few important items to keep in mind before we see you all on Tuesday at our Back to School event from 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm. Let’s make it the best year yet!

Please make note of the following:

1. Summer Mailer Reminder

We sent our annual summer “Airline Ticket” with a QR code that will provide everything you need to know about coming back to school! I am very excited to see you all again! Here is the link to our “Back To School” summer mailer if you have not received it yet.

2. School Pictures Updated Information

In the summer mailer information, we did not have the “Event Code” for pictures. The event code is FE134924 The event code will not be live until Tuesday, August 13th – The day of the first picture day.

I was told that parents will receive an email about two to three days before picture day reminding them that the picture day is coming up and then another email will share information regarding accessing your student pictures.

3. School Community Council Interest

Please see the communication sent out on July 25, 2024, regarding SCC elections. Link here if you are interested in being placed on the ballot. We will hold elections on August 26, 2024.

4. Parking Changes and Reminders

Cedar Valley has made some changes to our parking lot configuration! Our growth has made this a necessity, but we are confident our students’ parking needs will be met. The first big change is that we have designated several stalls in the front of the building for visitors. They are labeled and we hope that these areas will help our visitors have easier access to our school. Parents and other visitors are encouraged to use these spots, so students, please respect these designated areas and keep them open for our visitors. Another big change is that we have designated the Northwest parking lot for teacher/staff parking. We still have several staff spots designated around the perimeter of the building but have also opened up some spots for students in the northeast lot formerly reserved for teachers.

Please remember that all students must have a parking pass to park in the school lots. Passes are available at the finance window after students have paid their school fees. As a reminder, all stalls reserved for faculty/staff, and now visitors, are painted with yellow lines. Stalls painted with white lines are for students. Students should plan on parking in the northeast lot and the lots south of the school. The southwest lot always has spots available even though it’s a bit farther to walk. Please remember that the curb along the road in front of the school is not available for parking, but parking along the road is allowed west of the high school.

We know that parking is a concern with a school this large. Please be respectful of the parking areas and have your students plan for the traffic of a large school.

5. Skyward Student Information Update Reminder

Please see the email sent on July 25th regarding your child’s Skyward account.
