Mental health screenings help identify mental health conditions early and connect students with help. Screening also helps counselors to better recognize early warning signs. If you feel this screener would be beneficial to your student, please register at https://tinyurl.com/2p8dsznm.

Dear Aviators,

I absolutely love our Utah fall season! I didn’t always love it because it meant summer was over, but as I age it has become my favorite season. I love wearing sweaters, drinking hot apple cider, and feeling the crunchy fall leaves under my feet and the aroma from baking all things pumpkin. I hope you all enjoy this wonderful season!

Please make note of the following:

1. Reflections Due Friday

Parents, please encourage your child to submit a PTA Reflections entry. Students may enter Reflections in one or more categories, but may only enter each category once.

Entrants must submit entries online at www.utahpta.org/ref. Alle entries are due this Friday, September 30th.

2. Scooters and Skateboards

Cedar Valley High School is seeing a large increase in students using scooters and skateboards in the hallways and common areas. Although we love the physical activity of riding scooters and boards to school, they are dangerous and destructive in the hallways. With nearly 3000 students, there is a risk of student injury in addition to damage to school property. Please inform your students that scooters and skateboards need to be left in cars, or placed in lockers during school hours. We also would like students to secure them next to the bikes if possible on the stadium fence.

3. Utah College Application Week October 3-7

Utah College Application Week (UCAW) is coming October 3rd – 7th. The purpose of UCAW is to acquaint students with the college application process and to communicate the importance of applying to college and financial aid.

Dear Aviators,

Welcome back to another great week! Homecoming was beyond amazing! I want to thank our teachers, staff, and students for making it one of the most memorable homecomings I have ever been part of. I know their efforts were appreciated and they did a fantastic job.

Please make note of the following:

1. Funding For CVHS By Taking Surveys

Several of our teams are asking parents to take surveys so their teams can earn money. This will cost you nothing other than answering a couple of questions per survey. Each piece of eligible feedback = $2.00

Text “CVHS” to 90412

Share up to 75 opinions = up to $150

for Cedar Valley High School

So far CV has earned about $6,000, however; we can earn around $25,000. The fundraiser will end on 09/23/2022 at 11:59 p.m. You can choose where your survey money will go. Link Here

2. Reflections Due This Week
Parents, please encourage your child to submit a PTA Reflections entry. Students may enter Reflections in one or more categories, but may only enter each category once.

Entrants must submit entries online at www.utahpta.org/ref.

Reasons to enter Reflections:

Awards!! And recognition for your artistic skills and abilities!

Scholarships – if you compete at the national competition, there is a free trip to the ceremony, and a monetary scholarship of up to $1,000 is given to winners. And yes, high school kids from Utah have won before!

Any questions about rules and what/how to submit an entry, go here:

https://www.utahpta.org/reflections-rules-category-faqs

3. Parents of the Class of 2023

We will be starting our Senior College and Career Readiness meetings on Tuesday, September 6th. These meetings will run through September 30th.

Counselors will be meeting with each senior to review their graduation requirements and schedules. They will also discuss events coming up during their Senior year. We will also be talking about college and career options and the student’s future plans.

If parents would like to attend their student’s CCR they are welcome to make an appointment by calling 801-610-8826 or by clicking on the appointment link next to your student’s counselor’s name.

4. Literacy

Students will be given a reading test this week during Jet Time so we can focus on literacy this year. Teachers will be better equipped to help students with their reading goals and will encourage students to become better readers. Maybe it is the elementary principal inside me that still believes students should work on being better readers even in high school!

Dear Aviators:

With the first few weeks behind us, it’s difficult to believe that our midterm is here! September 14th. If you see an issue with your child’s grade, please email the teacher directly. I recommend that you get on Skyward daily and work with your child as well. I just spoke with a math teacher team this morning and they said most students will pass if they attend because they work very hard to help our students succeed. With that said, please look at your child’s attendance and carefully monitor your child’s attendance. Students’ success is typically tied to attendance.

Please make note of the following:

1. Gear Up Utah

This is a FREE college prep program. For your student to qualify to be enrolled in GEAR UP Utah, they need to be eligible under the Free and Reduced-Price School Meals Guidelines. Working together we can give your student an edge in getting ready for college and determining financial options to help pay for it. All services are provided at no cost. Apply at uvu.edu/gearup or use this form and turn it into your school counselor.

2. ACT Prep Classes

ACT classes will begin the week of Sept. 26th after school Mon. Tues. & Thurs. 2:30-3:30. Students and parents can pay in the finance office or on my school fees $25.

3. Text Message Announcements for Student Activities Now Available

Our CVHS Student Council makes an effort to share information on student activities, dances, and spirit weeks through posters throughout the school, banners in the commons, school announcements, parent emails, and Instagram. Even with these efforts we frequently hear that patrons and students did not hear about events that are happening at the school. In an effort to meet our students where they are at–on their phones–we have created grade-level channels on the BAND App where we will now be sending out this information via TEXT MESSAGE.

This app does require students to download the app to receive messages, but it is the only group text app that allows for groups as large as our student body. Receiving the texts is totally optional, but the app does need to be downloaded in order to receive the messages. All chat and posting features are turned off. Students will only receive messages from Student Council Advisors for full school activities or their Class President for grade-level announcements and activities. They will not be able to message other students. For students who do not have a phone or cannot download apps, parents are welcome to sign up to receive the texts and share them with their students.

To sign up, click the link below for the applicable student grade level and follow the instructions to download the app, and sign up to receive messages. If you have more than one student, and you will be the one joining, you will download the app once but can join multiple channels.

Freshmen:

We are seeing an increased amount of student traffic at the school and in neighborhoods all around Eagle Mountain. Please remind your students to follow all posted speed limits and driving regulations. We want all of our students and families to be safe.

5. Order Pictures, & School Picture Final Retake Day Reminder

If you’d still like to order school pictures, please click here.

If you missed our pre-boarding launch and didn’t get your school pictures taken, we will have a makeup day Fri Sept. 16th. This is a new date, but we are hoping to still have the retake day in October as we have advertised, but this may change.

6. East Shore Testing Closed September 14, 2022

East Shore testing centers will be closed after school on September 14th for teacher collaboration time.

Parent permission forms are required for club participation and will be available.

3. Dress Code

With the beginning of the new school year, we have seen an increase in dress code violations. The dress code is very equitable and will maintain the dignity of our students. It is also not gender-specific! Students in Academic and PE classes are required to have at least a 2-inch strap over their shoulders.

4. Service Opportunity

The CVHS Student Council and student body will be participating with EMServes to commemorate 9/11 by making Go-Bags for the first responders in our community. We are asking for donations of supplies like drawstring backpacks, snacks, wipes, etc. If you are interested, here is the link to the sign-up page.

7. Parking Passes For Students

Parking Passes are mandatory for on-site school parking. We have had several students parking in areas that are reserved for faculty and staff. An easy way to remember where students can park is for them to avoid yellow-lined parking spaces around the perimeter of the building. Yellow-lined parking stalls near the sidewalks are for teachers and staff. Students’ parking slots are lined in white. Parking will be enforced this year and the ticket price has increased. Street parking by the school is public and not ticketed. **Buy your parking pass today at the finance window for only $10 and avoid paying more for a ticket. Visit this link to input your vehicle information. https://cvhs.alpineschools.org/parking/

**Please note that school fees need to be current or an official payment plan in place to purchase a parking pass

8. Chromebook Insurance Reminder

Chromebook Insurance. Open enrollment is now available for student Chromebook insurance coverage. It is $25 for the entire year (12 months). If you had insurance last year, you will need to renew this year, to continue coverage. We HIGHLY recommend it. The company has been easy to work with and coverage includes everything, except the charger. Sign-up needs to be completed by Sept 1st. https://schooldevicecoverage.com/signup Questions: 1-888-978-3515

As a part of Suicide Awareness Month, we will have a Suicide walk on September 7th. We will be walking on the track at 7 pm. Food trucks and community resources will be there at 6 pm. Come support and raise Suicide Awareness!

8. Parking Passes For Students

Parking Passes are mandatory for on-site school parking. We have had several students parking in areas that are reserved for faculty and staff. An easy way to remember where students can park is for them to avoid yellow-lined parking spaces around the perimeter of the building. Yellow-lined parking stalls near the sidewalks are for teachers and staff. Students’ parking slots are lined in white. Parking will be enforced this year and the ticket price has increased. Street parking by the school is public and not ticketed. **Buy your parking pass today at the finance window for only $10 and avoid paying more for a ticket. Visit this link to input your vehicle information. https://cvhs.alpineschools.org/parking/

**Please note that school fees need to be current or an official payment plan in place to purchase a parking pass

13. Jet Time

As we get into our first full week of school, please remember that JetTime is a class and students receive a grade for that class. Students’ grade comes from completing the work assigned in Canvas and from attending class and engaging in the activities that teachers are providing. 50% of the grade comes from the canvas work, and 50% of the grade comes from attendance/engaging in class time activities. JetTime does affect GPA and eligibility. Students receive credit towards graduation for this class. Students who attend and engage in the work will have no problems passing the course!

If you have any questions about Jet Time, please feel free to email [email protected]
