“Soar to New Horizons” 2021-2022 School Theme
January 19, 2022
CVHS Aviators,
Welcome back for a very short week! I hope you enjoyed a little time off over the weekend. I love it when I see the kids outside of school when I go to a movie, eat at a restaurant, or when I am driving down the road. They go out of their way to light up when they see me. I feel very fortunate to work with CV students!. Thank you for being awesome and for raising the best kids! I love them.
Please make note of the following:
1. Junior College Day Postponed
I’m sorry we are having to make a few adjustments to our schedule for a few activities. All higher education institutions across the state decided to postpone UHED next week. The Juniors College Day that was scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, January 20th, has been postponed. The bell schedule will be a regular bell schedule.
2. Parent-Teacher Conference -Feb. 17th 3:30 pm-7 p.m.
Our Parent-Teacher Conference will be held on February 17th in the teacher’s classrooms. Please contact your child’s teachers if you would like to virtually visit with them. We will have colleges there that night to answer any questions as well as a mental health screener available.
3. Jet Time
A focus of JetTime is to help handle challenging times. Our mindset is our most important tool in that process. There are three points in our mindset cycle that allow us to help get our mind in a better place; Our focus, our self-talk, and our actions.
a.) Focus – Managing our focus and placing it on things we can control is an important key. What is a place you can place your focus that will help you move important things forward?
b.) Self-Talk – Our inner dialogue can be used to set our mindset. What is one thing you can say to yourself that would guide your mindset to a better place?
c.) Actions – Taking positive forward action is one of the best things we can do to generate better feelings. What is a simple, positive action you can take that moves you a little bit closer to a goal you have?
You can handle challenging situations! We all can do this. We win when we own and guide our mindset!
4. PTSA Battle of the Bands, Monday, Feb. 28th, 6:00-8:00 P.M.

6. CTE Scholarships
Please see the attached flyer to advertise the scholarship. More information can be found on the website here: Scholarship and Tuition Awards website. The scholarship application deadline is January 28, 2022. Your CTE specialists are trained and happy to help students apply for these scholarships.
Utah Career & Technical Education Survey. Utah CTE serves students across the state. We are constantly looking for opportunities to improve and your opinion matters. We appreciate you taking the time to provide essential feedback about the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program in Utah. Your input will be essential to strengthening our program statewide. As you take the survey, please select Mountainland Region. Thank you!
Please take the survey linked here: https://schools.utah.gov/cte/perkinsv?mid=4528&tid=3
7. Substitute Teachers Needed
We are still very short substitute teachers every day. We appreciate all of you that help us with that. In fact, Julie King is here substitute teaching today! We appreciate her so much!
If you or someone you know is available to help out during these challenging times, we need you! Please consider becoming a substitute teacher at CVHS, we will buy you a Jet Fuel and school lunch!. To learn more, go to: ess.com/alpine/.
8. WIDA Testing
On Tuesday, February 1 English Learners will be participating in WIDA testing. They will be missing classes.
9. COVID District Communication
The District will continue to share updates at alpineschools.org/returntolearn. Please review the attached “How Sick Is Too Sick For School?” document as you evaluate your child’s ability to return to school on Wednesday and for the coming weeks. As always, a parent has the prerogative to have their child attend school or excuse them for any reason.
The webpage also contains a link to the current Utah Department of Health “K-12 School Recommendations“ which were updated on January 13. The Test to Stay protocol is currently suspended as directed by state leaders.
We are hopeful that the five days with at-home learning provided the time for many students and employees to recover and that the trajectory of sickness and absenteeism will have a downward trend.
10. School Calendars
As a reminder, the calendar for the remainder of this school year has been updated. Please click here to review. The 2022-2023 school calendar has also been approved and is available at alpineschools.org/calendars.
11. Class Registration For 2022-2023 Coming Soon!
Registration will begin soon! Can you believe it? I encourage you to discuss with your child the opportunities that AP and Concurrent Enrollment provide. They are challenging, but it will open doors for saving money in the future. Students can earn their associate’s degree at CVHS! Associate degrees typically can cost $20,000– $40,000 when you consider housing, books, and tuition. Even if your child saves a semester or two with 12-26 credits, that will save you a ton of money!
12. Upcoming Dates to Remember:
2-week calendar
Have a fantastic week!

Principal CVHS
