2. Administration Message – Link Here
This week’s admin message reflected on the school year using a flight metaphor, highlighting the phases of Pre-Flight, Takeoff, Navigating, and Landing. As students head into summer or their next chapter, the message encourages them to remember that life is full of flights—some easy, some turbulent—but what truly matters is the strength of the pilot. Aviators were reminded that they are strong pilots, and no matter where they go next, it’s not the plane that defines them, but the pilot within.
3. Summer School
CVHS is starting to enroll students in summer school! The dates will be June 2 – June 26. Each week will be one class and students can earn .25 credits per week equaling a whole credit! The hours are 8am – 12pm Monday – Thursday each week. Here are the steps to sign up:

7. How to Clear Locker Fines
If your student was not able to clean out their locker by Friday, May ?, they have received a locker fine. To clear that fine, they need to clean out their locker and bring the yellow fine sheet to the attendance office to have their locker checked and the fine will be cleared from their account.
8. IMPORTANT: Financial Information
Please ensure that all student accounts are paid in full and that any outstanding items—such as library books, calculators, textbooks, and other school materials—are returned no later than May 12th.
Students with unpaid balances or unreturned items will not be able to pick up their yearbook (If a yearbook was purchased) nor be able to participate in the Lagoon Day for seniors!!
All school fees must be paid as soon as possible to avoid accounts being sent to Cherrington Collections Agency. Contact Wendy Staheli at [email protected] with any questions you may have.
