“Soar to New Horizons” 2021-2022 School Theme
Monday, August 23, 2021
Dear Parents,
Congratulations! We had a very fun and exciting first week of school! What a fun week we had. I am honored to lead a school with a committed faculty, staff, District, and parents that truly love kids. Helping each child that enters the doors of CVHS feels valued and supported. Your child’s success is very important to our CVHS team!
Please make note of the following:
1. Free lunch and Breakfast
A few of you didn’t realize that both school lunch and breakfast are free for students. Our amazing lunch staff fed over 5,4012 lunches in four days! This is a record and we are doing everything we can to make this more efficient. Thank you for your patience.
2. 20th Anniversary of 9-11
This year marks the 20th anniversary of September 11, 2001, which has been designated as a National Day of Service. In commemoration, various members within the Eagle Mountain community, including leaders of community groups, schools, businesses, and churches are uniting to create ten days of service, called EMServes, focused on meeting community needs and uniting community members.
Please see the attached flyer with a QR code and website where more information can be found. There are projects for both family and individuals to participate in. Link Here

6. Bussing Update:
I know several of you have experienced bussing issues and we so appreciate our transportation department. Starting today bus 707 Fred Flintstone will be taking home the kids in Kiowa Valley that the teepee bus has been running home second. This bus will take them home at the normal time of 2:15 on MTRF. It has a noon run on Wed so we are still looking for another bus that can do the Wed pm at 12:15. Until we find one, they will still have to double run home on the teepee bus on Wednesday.
If you have any questions, please contact: Michelle Gray with ASD Transportation West

7. SCC Elections: Link Here for Ballot
We have our SCC elections this week. Please select five individuals that you would like to represent you on our School Community Council.
8. Yearbook:
Last year we sold out of yearbooks so be sure to get yours now for $59. The price will increase later in the school year. Information on Senior Ads and Senior Quotes will be out soon. If you have any questions please contact the yearbook advisor, Kristin Cooper ([email protected]).
9. Parking Passes For Students:
Please purchase your parking passes. We have had several students parking in areas that are reserved for faculty and staff. An easy way to remember where students park is to avoid parking spaces around the perimeter of the building. Parking stalls near the sidewalks are for teachers and staff. Link here for more information in the student handbook.
10. Club Rush Week:
Club rush week will be from August 30 to September 3. During this week students will see clubs that are available and have a chance to join. Parent permission forms are required for club participation and will be available. If you would like to start a club, chartering forms are available in the front office. In order to be included in club rush, applications should be turned in by Friday, August 27. Please come get one and find an advisor. If you have any questions, ask Mr. Fossat.
11. Jet Time:
As we get into our first full week of school, please remember that Jet Time is a class and students receive a grade for that class. Students grade comes from completing the work assigned in Canvas and from attending class and engaging in the activities that teachers are providing. 50% of the grade comes from the canvas work, 50% of the grade comes from attendance/engaging in the class time activities. JetTime does affect GPA and eligibility. Students receive credit towards graduation for this class. Students who attend and engage in the work will have no problems passing the course!
If you have any questions about Jet Time, please feel free to email [email protected]
