Cleared For Takeoff! School Theme
February 12, 2024
Hello, Aviators!
I trust everyone enjoyed a fantastic Super Bowl weekend filled with great food and fun! As we kick off Diversity Week, here are some important updates and opportunities we’d like to highlight for you. Please take note of the following:
1. Student Council Diversity Assembly Feb 16, 2024
-
We are following the TEACHER lunch to determine who goes to which assembly. This is just so we can divide the student body roughly evenly. Here is how it works:
-
After the 1st period, ALL students will go to their 2nd Period.
-
Once the tardy bell rings, teachers who have 2nd Lunch will walk their students down to the first assembly. All others stay in 2nd period and have class.
-
When the bell rings at the end of that period, those in the assembly go back to 2nd Period with their teacher to have class, and those who just had 2nd Period go to the assembly.
-
When the bell rings at the end of the 2nd assembly, students and teachers either go to lunch or 3rd period as they usually would and the day progresses as usual from there. (just with a slightly adjusted time schedule)
2. Weekly Flight Plan Lesson.
Every Monday during Steele Time, our students engage in creating a “Flight Plan” for the week. This includes setting a weekly goal and scheduling their activities. Additionally, teachers conduct a brief 5-10 minute connection activity.
This week we discussed SMART Goals and encouraged students to set a SMART goal. I encourage you to discuss these activities with your students and share your own experiences.
3. PTSA Zuppas Night
Join us for our next Zupas Fundraiser night on February 13th from 4-9pm at the Saratoga Springs Zupas location. Remember to mention the fundraiser at checkout, or use coupon code FUNDRAISER25 for online and app orders. Your support helps our amazing PTSA continue to support our teachers, staff, students, and community.
4. Spread the Word
It is time for our Spread the Word to End the Word campaign again. We will be selling black long sleeve t-shirts with our slogan “It’s Cool to Include”.
We are selling the shirts for $16-$18 depending on the size of the shirt. We also have the opportunity for people to sponsor a life skills student by purchasing a shirt for them, if you would like to sponsor your own student, please feel free to do so by buying a shirt in their size. Our store will be live until Friday February 16th, 2023 at midnight. Please feel free to share this with anyone you think would be interested in purchasing outside of CVHS.
Thank you for all your support! Link here for your shirt!
