“Soar to New Horizons” 2021-2022 School Theme
Monday, February 28, 2022
Dear CVHS Aviators,
It is hard to believe we just wrapped up winter sports, and are closing out third term already. Time is flying by. We thank you as parents for all you do to support your kids as we approach our final term and closeout third term. Please make note of the following information.
February 28, 2022
1. JetTalk for this week is posted on the school’s youtube channel: https://youtu.be/9Fd6e4cCPHM
Please take the time to review this with your student! It is about driving distracted. One of our awesome students filmed this and delivers an important reminder for all of us to keep our eyes on the road and to not drive distracted! This is a great chance to review this for everyone! Stay safe. We love all our students and their families!
2. Yearbooks Increased Price to $80 After April 11, 2022
Our yearbooks will increase in price on April 11 this year. We like to have these purchased so we can order exactly what we need. Please go to myschoolfees on our website to make your purchases.
3. ACT on March 8
We will be proctoring the ACT on Tuesday, March 8th for all Juniors. The ACT is used for college admittance, placement, and scholarships. This is free to all Juniors this one time so we encourage all Juniors to come that day prepared to do their best.
Sophomores will take a practice ACT that day.
Freshmen & Seniors will stay home and have an online study day.
Bus schedules will run as a normal day.
4. Pull Through Traffic at Pick Up and Drop Off Area
Please make sure the second lane is not a drop-off lane. Students should not be getting out of the car and crossing in front of cars in the first lane. This is not safe. It will also keep the traffic flowing nicely. We will work with the city to see if we can make the curb on Aviator Ave. a no-parking area near the drop-off area.
I have asked our SRO to park near the entrance on the sidewalk to improve the flow and improve safety. Delivery companies have been asked to not deliver items during high traffic times. This is tricky because we have so many items delivered to the school all day long. We will keep reminding them to avoid high-traffic times or to deliver behind the school at a different location.
5. Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety
We have had a few incidents with bicycles near the school. Students on bicycles have been darting across traffic. Using bike lanes and trails is safest. Students crossing a road should cross safely as a pedestrian, following pedestrian signals. Please take a moment and remind your students of this.
6. Student Registration Information 2022-23
