4. Upcoming Dates to Remember

2-week calendar

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.

6. Cedar Valley High 24-25 Reg Ed Bus Stop Info is Now Online

Bus Information Link

District Transportation has added three additional buses for our school for a total of 18 drivers/buses this year due to our school being the largest high school in the district and having 9th graders.

Aviators,

Get ready to embrace the sunshine and seize the moment because we’ve got three days of sunny skies ahead at Cedar Valley High School, with CAVU (Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited) conditions!

With spring blooming around us, it’s the ideal time to step outside and enjoy our students’ activities. Tonight, we have a fabulous play lined up for you to enjoy and unwind in the auditorium. So, grab those shades, gather your loved ones, and let’s make the most of these precious moments together at Cedar Valley High School!

Please make note of the following:

 

1.  Chromebooks

The year-end Chromebook health check is happening tomorrow during B5 for 9-11th graders.   Remind your student that they will need to bring both their Chromebooks and chargers with them!   If they miss this check they can bring both items up to the Chromebook Center, D254, to be checked before May 2nd.   If the Chromebook is not checked by this date, we will assume the Chromebook is lost and a $150 fine will be added to their account.

Cleared For Takeoff! 2023-24 School Theme

Monday, April 15, 2024

Dear Aviators,

Aviators,

Welcome back to another exciting week at Cedar Valley!

As we quickly approach the end of the year, we must work together to ensure our students successfully cross the finish line. One crucial aspect of this support is the consistent communication with your student’s teachers. I recommend that you monitor Skyward at least once per week if not daily. This proactive measure will help minimize surprises and enable timely interventions where needed.

Please make note of the following:

1. Utah Shakeout

On Thursday, April 18th, at 10:15 AM, Cedar Valley will participate in the Great Utah Shakeout. Students will be instructed to drop, cover, and hold on for approximately one minute. This exercise is vital for preparing our community for earthquake safety.

This is what teachers will use as a basis for the activity. Feel free to read over the materials and discuss this at home with your children.

Drop, Cover, and Hold On or other recommended actions such as Lock (wheels), Cover, and Hold On – if you feel shaking or get an alert.

2. Chromebook Checks for 9-11th Grades

Tuesday, April 23rd, will be our annual Chromebook check. Students will need to bring their Chromebooks and chargers to their first period. If your student will not be at CVHS during that time, please have them bring their Chromebook and charger to the Chromebook Center, D254, to be checked and avoid a fine.

3. Senior Chromebooks

On May 14th all seniors will need to return their school Chromebooks. Seniors may choose to purchase their Chromebooks for $30.00 at this time.

4. Testing Update:

We had a great testing week with good participation. We will continue to pull students in to finish testing during the next few weeks. The state requires us to test 95% of our students, so we will work towards that goal through the first week of May.

5. Graduation Information

The following information was emailed out to our current Seniors, early graduates and Juniors that will be graduating early, on Friday, March 29th. This document can be found on our website under the graduation tab and will be updated with any changes. Here are the links: 2024 Graduation Information (English) and 2024 Graduation Information (Spanish)
