Hi Everyone,

Just as a reminder it is our graduation tomorrow. We will be busy with all of the final preparations and will not be in the office. The school will be open after Memorial Day on Tuesday, May 31, from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. Summer office hours are Monday-Thursday from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.

My team is already putting together our summer mailer (airline ticket) with a QR code that will provide you with all the back-to-school information. I can’t wait for you to see it!

I appreciate getting to know so many of you. We have the best families out here in our beautiful valley! As you know, it is better in the valley!

I hope you all have a wonderful summer and enjoy time with family and friends. If you have any good smoker BBQ recipes I would love it if you would share those with me! That’s something I love to do as well, but I have so much to learn.

I have the best job in the world! Thank you for your love and support!

Congratulations! We are officially on the countdown until graduation this week!.

Please be aware of the following:

1. Schedule Tomorrow:

Tomorrow the bells will be on a regular schedule. All students will go to their 1st-period class at 7:45 am. Starting around 8 A.M., we will call students down one Terminal at a time to get their yearbooks. The students can then attend their classes to get signatures from their peers and teachers.

2. Yearbook Second Chance:

Students will be able to pick up their yearbooks at the signing party today, Monday 5/23 at 7:00 P.M. All yearbooks are sold out, however; many of you asked if we could order more. Josten’s has offered to do a second printing at cost. Because they are not part of the original bulk printing rate, these will be $125.00 plus tax so it will be closer to $135.00 dollars or so. If you would like to pre-pay and order a yearbook, please go to myschoolfees on our website to make your purchase under “2nd Chance Yearbook”. These will arrive towards the end of June.

3. Summer School:

The recently passed HB30 expanded the graduation uniform, allowing cultural expressions for cultural regalia and objects of “religious and cultural significance” for our qualified Native students and inclusive of other cultures. (i.e., Pacific Islander formal Ta’ovala, leis, feather, flowers in moderation, necklaces, etc.)

c. Additions to the cap and gown should reflect culturally significant objects to the students, families, and their communities. These are not limited to only one. These objects should not include representations of drugs, violence, political speech, flags, or other non-religious or non-culturally significant objects.

d. Students must obtain administrative pre-approval for adjustments to graduation wear. Pre-approval should allow for appropriate cultural expressions without causing last-minute misunderstandings and frustrations. Please make an appointment to meet before May 24, 2022, at 3:00 P.M.

Pre-approval process:

1. Students (parents are welcome) must bring in the objects of “religious and cultural significance” to their administrator. Only items approved will be allowed at graduation.

Graduation Cultural Expression Update:

The Alpine district sent out an email regarding the district’s decision to allow cultural expression at graduation. Students may wear objects that represent their ancestral heritage. We received additional information from the district noting guidelines etc. Please note the following:

a.. The cap and gown issued by the school represent the uniform for ASD graduation. They should be worn appropriately and not altered.

b. The recently passed HB30 expanded the graduation uniform, allowing cultural expressions for cultural regalia and objects of “religious and cultural significance” for our qualified Native students and inclusive of other cultures. (i.e., Pacific Islander formal Ta’ovala, leis, feather, flowers in moderation, necklaces, etc.)

c. Additions to the cap and gown should reflect culturally significant objects to the students, families, and their communities. These are not limited to only one. These objects should not include representations of drugs, violence, political speech, flags, or other non-religious or non-culturally significant objects.

d. Students must obtain administrative pre-approval for adjustments to graduation wear. Pre-approval should allow for appropriate cultural expressions without causing last-minute misunderstandings and frustrations. Please make an appointment to meet before May 24, 2022 at 3:00 P.M.

Pre-approval process:

1. Students (parents are welcome) must bring in the objects of “religious and cultural significance” to their administrator. Only items approved will be allowed at graduation.

Please reach out via email to the Administrator who oversees your child based on their last name if you would like an appointment to get items approval:

4. Chromebook Update

Parents, we apologize for the email blast last week. Remember, Freshman, Sophomores, and Juniors will keep their Chromebooks over the summer, but they still need to be checked for any problems. At this point all Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors who have not had their Chromebooks checked will be assessed a fine. They can report to the front office to have it checked and that fine will be cleared. All Seniors or any students not attending Cedar Valley High School next year will need to return their Chromebooks by Thursday, May 19 to avoid a fine. Students will return their device to the end of D-Terminal. Questions about Chromebooks can be directed to Pat Fossat at [email protected].

Dear Aviators,

Welcome to May! This is a very exciting month for our students and staff. It is important that we encourage our students to stay the course and finish strong! Please note the following:

1. Senior Activities

Please see last week’s email for all of the activities. Also, an email was sent out to senior honor students.

2. Graduation
We are excited to announce our upcoming Senior Graduation Information Assembly that will be held tomorrow, Tuesday, May 3, 2022, at 9:06 am during Jet Time in the Auditorium. During this assembly, we will go over graduation information, expectations, and the upcoming Senior activities. This PowerPoint will be available on our Counseling website by May 4th.

Following the assembly, we will be distributing the graduation Caps & Gowns that we have received from Jostens to those Seniors who are on track to graduate and have paid their school fees by that date. After this initial distribution, those seniors that clear after this date and get their fees paid can meet with their counselor and they can give them their caps & gowns up to graduation.

The Seniors will be released during the last 15 minutes of their B5 class to go to the auditorium.

Mark your calendar so you can attend the “ACE Awards” on Wednesday, May 18th from 6-7:30 pm in the Auditorium, where seniors will be recognized for their academic achievements. Nice dress is encouraged and refreshments will be served.

This is a link to include colleges you were accepted to, scholarships, and any other honors.

Prior to the ACE Awards from 4-5:45 pm, you will have an opportunity to take pictures at school with the Fuselage, Ace the Aviator and in the Commons Area. Please wear your Cap & Gown for these pictures. (Photographer not provided)

3. Senior Student Accounts

On July 1, 2022, the student accounts you have used throughout your time in the Alpine School District will be inactivated, archived, and eventually deleted. We realize that over the years you may have accumulated a lot of student work and materials tied to these accounts. In order to keep any and all of the materials currently stored in your alpinesd.org Google Drive, you will have two options.

The first option is Google Takeout. You will need to follow the steps included here to download your Google account data to a hard drive or external flash drive.

The second option is Google Transfer. You may follow this guide to be able to transfer content from your school account to a personal Google account. Please remember that default personal Google accounts are limited in space to 15 GB (free). More space is available for purchase from Google if desired. This needs to be completed before July 1 in order to avoid losing access to all of your work.

4. ACT Prep Classes

Classes began April 26th, 2:30-3:30, but it is not too late to sign up. Tues. & Thurs. To sign up, pay $25 to the CVHS Finance Office. This class will prepare students for the June ACT test. Classes will be in Mr. Balser’s room C214
