Born to Fly – 2022-23 School Theme

Tuesday, April 25, 2023

Dear Aviators,

It is hard to believe that this is the last week of April!  Please help your child finish strong by monitoring their progress in Skyward and Canvas courses. It’s amazing how just a couple of weeks students can improve their grades.  Make sure they do not have any missing assignments and are studying for their final exams.

Please make note of the following:

1. Last Two Nights of the Sound of Music Play!

If you have not seen the Sound of Music Production, you need to attend one of the last two nights’ performances.  Our drama students have worked so hard and it’s a beautiful production.  I would love to see everyone support our students in this amazing production.  Tomorrow is the last performance.

2. Scholarships

 Seniors, the deadline is extended till Friday, April 28th for the Sadie Huish Memorial Art Scholarship and the Ultimate Flyboy Baseball Scholarship.

3.  Minimal Day for Graduation, May 25, 2023

On May 25th, We will have a Minimal Day so we can get everyone to the graduation ceremony on time.

Here is the bell schedule:

1st Period 7:45 8:25

2nd Period 8:30 9:10

3rd Period 9:15 9:55

4th Period 10:00 10:40

One Lunch 10:40 11:15

Bussing will be different on Miminal Day, May 25.  Because not all schools will be on a Minimal Day, it will be a challenge for transportation to run as usual because they will be transporting other students on a regular bell schedule for their school.   We really appreciate ASD Transportation helping Cedar Valley Students get to and from school with this unusual request.

Here is the rundown of what transportation discussed with me:

Transportation will drop off students as normal on that Thursday, May 25.

1. Students will remain in school until 11:15, at which time our 3 Sp Ed buses and 6 of the Reg Ed buses will return to take students home.

   • SpEd students will be transported to their homes.  Please make sure a parent or guardian is home to care for your student.  Additionally, if a driver takes a SpEd student home and no one is there to collect him/her, the student will be returned to the school.

   • RegEd students will be taken to an area drop-off location, not their regular bus stop. Area drops will be localized in a way that will allow students to walk home from the stop.  It may require them to walk further than normal, but they should not have to walk more than the state regulation of 1.5 miles to/from home and the bus stop.

2. Transportation will create a map showing where the area drops will be located.

4.  Accuplacer For New Concurrent Enrollment Students

This information is only for our new Concurrent Enrollment students.  Here is the correct link for students to sign up for the Accuplacer or Aleks test for May 8.  The test is at 9:00 A.M.  The bus will leave at 8 A.M. May 8, 2023.

1. Go to https://www.uvu.edu/testingservices/info/scheduling_staging.html and click on “Schedule an Appointment”

2. Select “I am a UVU student”

3. Select “Accuplacer Placement Exam”

4. Select “Accuplacer – Cedar Valley High School”

5. Select “Both Sections”

6. Choose May 8th at 9:00 am

7. Fill out all the information below and click “add to cart”

8. Click on “Ready to checkout?”

9. Fill out payment information and click “Purchase Exams”

If you have any questions, please email Shelly Anderson who is our UVU Facilitator in room D230 and she can help you and your child take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.

5.  ACT Bootcamp this Summer

An ACT Bootcamp is available for all students looking to take or retake the ACT. The camp runs from June 5th to June 9th. Students will gain access to three teachers: English, math, and science. These teachers will teach the strategies and content associated with each test. The cost is $75 and that includes an ACT voucher to take the ACT on June 10th. Register by April 26th. For more information, email cameronchristensen@alpinedistrict.org.

6.  Secondary Schedule Change Next School year

The district sent out an email today regarding a change in the school schedule for this August.  Beginning in August 2023, all secondary schools will return to a one-hour early-out schedule. The instructional day on Wednesday will end at 1:15 PM for CVHS.  Please see the email from the District for more information.

Aviators,

I am always amazed at the grit of our students. Each day, before I go to my office, I see students playing various sports in the freezing snow outside, practicing music so early so they can fit in all of their other AP and Concurrent Enrollment classes, rehearsing lines in a play, working with a teacher to get extra help on an assignment or prepare for a test, learning to drive a car in these horrible road conditions, and so much more.

I’m positive that I forgot so many things, but my point is that our kids are workers!  They go after what they want even when the conditions are not optimal. I just returned from a girls’ lacrosse game tonight.  I watched a coach and her team give every girl time to make a goal and they encouraged one another with such positive praise I was blown away. The players even assisted in setting up the field to make it advantageous for that “one player” to score a point even though they could have made the shot themselves.   It seriously brought tears to my eyes.

I’m here to tell you that this goes on every single day.  Our kids are some of the best out there. I have never seen anything like this. I don’t know what it is in the valley, but it is better in the valley!

Thank you for raising the best and teaching your kids to work hard even when it is not easy.  I just love that!

Please make note of the following:

1. PTSA Fundraiser – Texas Roadhouse Rolls – Last Chance!

Dear Aviators,

There have been a few upper-classmen (in mixed grade level classes) students confused about the testing schedule next week. Although teachers have been encouraging students to attend school, number four of the Weekly Email may have misled students to believe that they can simply choose to stay home.  What I should have communicated is the following:

• Please remind your students about the test and stress its importance of it. Upper-classmen in mixed-grade level classes will not test and parents may choose to excuse their child from school, or students may study in the cafeteria during that class period.

I am sorry for the confusion.  We would like to make sure students don’t miss classes that are outside of the testing schedule.  There are many upper-classmen classes that will not have testing going on, so we don’t want students to miss these classes.

Please watch the weather and school district website for weather related delayed start or school closure information. With a storm heading our way, we want to make sure you are safe.

We are planning for all schools to start at the normal time. However, if an online/distance learning day is enacted, a decision will be made by approximately 5:30am and it will be posted on our Facebook page, Twitter account, and district website shortly afterward. We will also send communication via email to those who are active in our student information system. Please refer to Policy 1800 for more information.

2. Parent Teacher Community  Night Tomorrow 3:30-7:00 PM

3. Students Password Reset

The district is working to change all student passwords in the upcoming weeks. Students will be receiving an email to change their passwords starting late Thursday afternoon. Students are welcome to start this on their own.  On Monday (2/27), we will ask all teachers to make some time during JetTime to share a brief video/training, allow students to reset their passwords and check that all students have changed their passwords successfully.

While this is a large effort, it is an opportunity to help teach students about setting passwords and the importance of protecting themselves online.
