Aviators,

 

What an incredible week we have had!  Over the weekend we had two individual students receive state titles!. The girls wrestling team took 2nd place in state and we have a beautiful trophy to proudly place in our display!  Whoop whoop to our students and coaches!

 

This week we also have our girls and boys basketball teams playing in the state finals.  It would be wonderful to have everyone out at the games to cheer our kiddos on!  Gooooo Aviators!

 

1. Winter Storm Warnings Tomorrow

 

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 pageTwitter 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

 

Please see information from last week’s email.  If the weather causes a district to close school, we will reschedule our Parent Teacher Community Night for another day, but for now please plan our PTC as scheduled.  We will keep you posted if anything changes.

 

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.

 

4. Explore your future! Join us for a Virtual Information Night:

Earning college credit while in high school has some amazing perks. Whether you are interested in taking just one CE class or earning a General Education Certificate, you won’t want to miss this. No matter what you decide your goal is, UVU Concurrent Enrollment is for you.

You can expect all information sessions to cover:

  • How Concurrent Enrollment saves time and money

  • Perks of a UVU Student ID Card

  • UVU Scholarships

  • Earning a General Education Certificate

This event will be hosted through Microsoft Teams by us, the Concurrent Enrollment Advisors!

5. ACT March 7, 2023 Reminder

 

We will be administering the ACT on March 7, 2023 for all Juniors.  Please encourage your students to prepare for the ACT and tell them why it is so important. Even though many schools do not use it for admissions, universities use it to determine what level of general ed classes they must take.  Performing well can save $$$.

 

Sophomores will take a practice ACT that day.

Freshman & Seniors will stay home and have an online study day.

Students must bring their fully charged Chromebook for testing. They will also need to leave their phones home or in their cars; they will not have access to them during the testing session.

7. Walking at Graduation Change

The Utah Board of Education has voted to uphold the pre-pandemic standards that students must complete ALL graduation requirements to “walk” at graduation. Graduation will be held this year on May 25th. All required credits must be completed by May 19th. Check missing credits by going to Skyward and on the far left click on graduation requirements.

8. Summer School

This year we will be offering Summer School at Cedar Valley High School for students who need to make up for failed classes. This will be offered June 12th – June 30th from 8:00 AM -2:30 PM and will be a flat fee of $25. There will be 3 sessions each day. Each session would be worth .25 credits, and students can earn up to .75 credits. These classes require mandatory attendance for the full 3 weeks so please plan accordingly.

We will also be offering a CRAM class for English, Math, Science and Social Studies. This is solely for students who failed these classes with a 50% grade or higher this school year. Students attend starting June 12th and finish the material left from their previously failed class in order to reach the passing percentage. This is different from regular makeup classes in that they don’t have to complete the whole quarter’s worth of credit, just the missing requirements. Once students reach the passing threshold they are not required to attend class after they pass the class. We hope this will help a lot of our students!

The ACT is one of two main tests that many colleges require for admissions. How well your child scores can have an impact on what colleges they are eligible to attend and what degree programs students qualify for. Almost half of students decide to retest on the ACT because they aren’t happy with their initial scores. This is stressful and costs money. Our ACT prep course is one way to increase your child’s chances of a better score.

ACT Prep classes will begin Jan 9th from 2:30-3:30. Every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday in D257. Pay $25 to the finance office. If you have any questions please contact Mr. Cameron Christensen in D161. This is a great opportunity for all Juniors to prepare for the ACT March 7th.

We also offer an online class for ACT Prep. If you are interested, please contact [email protected] for more information. SHMOOP is also available to assist with ACT prep. Just go to shmoop.com/utah and use the code ASPEN.

Dear Aviators,

It’s hard to believe that this is the last week of 2022! With only 4 ½ days of school left it is more important than ever to help your students turn in any outstanding assignments over the next couple of days before your much-deserved holiday break!

Please make note of the following:

1. Minimal Day, Friday, December 16, 2022

Friday, December 16th is the end of the 2nd term. The schedule will be a Minimal Day schedule. Below is Friday’s bell schedule:

2. School Lunch

Breakfast and Lunch will be served on Minimal Day Friday, December 16, 2022. Sometimes lunch options change on the last day before the break.

3. School Safety

As a reminder, safety comes first. Cedar Valley High School has a protocol in place for emergency situations. Please refer to this document for details about the protocol. In addition to this protocol, we have faculty that will be participating in research-based threat assessment training. Safety begins and ends with all of us. The most important thing any of us can do is to say something when we see something. All safety concerns should be reported to the administration.

4. How Sick is Too Sick

As the flu season is upon us, please review the following flier.

“HOW SICK IS TOO SICK?” FLIER

If you or your students are in need of some mental health resources over the break you can access https://211utah.org/index.php/mental-health

This is a great website with all kinds of resources.

5. Driver’s Ed

There will be an online and an in-person class for Driver’s Ed starting after the Winter Break. There are only 2 more in-person opportunities for Driver’s Ed this school year. If you are interested please sign up on the Google Form on the School’s Driver’s Ed webpage.

Join the Battle of the Bands – on January 14th! Register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAXxP73ibRSkE7PnOtPkNTGwTsVLaBwIJnx0t6ImaZU/edit

7. ACT March 7, 2023

We will be administering the ACT on March 7, 2023. Please encourage your students to prepare for the ACT and tell them why it is so important. Even though many schools do not use it for admissions, universities use it to determine what level of general ed classes they must take. Performing well can save $$$.

Sophomores will take a practice ACT that day.

Freshmen & Seniors will stay home and have an online study day.

More information will be coming. Kids will need to leave their phones at home or in their cars.

Dear Aviators,

I woke up this morning to five inches of snow! It’s a reminder that we are entering the last half of the school year. We are all also ready for a mid year break and I am sure everyone is ready for the holidays. With that being said, please go into Skyward and see if you can help your student get in their assignments so they will pass their classes.It’s the last 11 days to push!

Please make note of the following:

1. Class Change Deadline

It’s hard to believe we are almost to our 2nd Semester. We have loved working with your students. Please be aware that we will only be accepting class change requests for the 2nd Semester through December 15th. If you need to make changes please meet with your counselor ASAP.

2. UVU Admission and Registration!

Concurrent Enrollment is now open for 2nd semester for face to face and live interactive courses. If you (your student) are registered at Cedar Valley High School to take a UVU concurrent enrollment face to face or live interactive class it’s time to get admitted and registered at UVU. If your ACT score is not high enough for the course you may take the Accuplacer test for English and/or the Aleks test for math at UVU.

I wish I would have pushed my children to earn their associates degree during high school! It’s almost like earning $40,000 over the next two years after textbook, the cost of living, taxes and tuition! Our school had more students earn their associates and gen education certificates than any other high school that feeds into UVU. Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity for your child and meet with your counselor.

Registration Process – Go to www.uvu.edu/concurrent

1- Apply for admissions (Step 1), unless you already have a UVID.

2- Registration: My.UVU.edu

A-Know prerequisites

B- Find course CRN – on website or attached to this email

3 – Pay tuition

If you have question or need help, please contact your high school counselor or

Char Christensen [email protected] in Room D230 @ CVHS.

3. Get Your Associate’s Degree in Aviation Science From UVU at CV!

Starting next school year, we will be offering an associates degree in Aviation Science on campus! Why would you not do that? Once a student has that degree, all he/she has to do is go to UVU and take their flying lessons. All the foundational components will be completed at CV speeding up the process to become a commercial pilot. Flying is the fun part! Our student could be earning $$$$ in a couple short years and big $$$ in a few years after that.

There is a pilot shortage and girls especially are needed as well! This will cut your costs down significantly to become a commercial pilot!

4. Finance Office

The financial office will be closed this Wednesday, however; My School Fees will still be open to pay fees.

5. Text option for messages from the school

Did you know that you can opt in to receive messages from the school via text? This can be for general messages, attendance messages, emergency messages, etc. Please click HERE for quick opt-in instructions.
