Born To Fly 2022-23 School Theme
Monday, September 26, 2022
Dear Aviators,
I absolutely love our Utah fall season! I didn’t always love it because it meant summer was over, but as I age it has become my favorite season. I love wearing sweaters, drinking hot apple cider, and feeling the crunchy fall leaves under my feet and the aroma from baking all things pumpkin. I hope you all enjoy this wonderful season!
Please make note of the following:
1. Reflections Due Friday
Parents, please encourage your child to submit a PTA Reflections entry. Students may enter Reflections in one or more categories, but may only enter each category once.
Entrants must submit entries online at www.utahpta.org/ref. Alle entries are due this Friday, September 30th.
2. Scooters and Skateboards
Cedar Valley High School is seeing a large increase in students using scooters and skateboards in the hallways and common areas. Although we love the physical activity of riding scooters and boards to school, they are dangerous and destructive in the hallways. With nearly 3000 students, there is a risk of student injury in addition to damage to school property. Please inform your students that scooters and skateboards need to be left in cars, or placed in lockers during school hours. We also would like students to secure them next to the bikes if possible on the stadium fence.
3. Utah College Application Week October 3-7
Utah College Application Week (UCAW) is coming October 3rd – 7th. The purpose of UCAW is to acquaint students with the college application process and to communicate the importance of applying to college and financial aid.
During the week, all seniors will be encouraged to apply for admission to at least one college or university and to fill out the FAFSA.
On Wednesday, October 5th, students and their families are invited to attend our College and FAFSA night from 5-7 pm. FAFSA volunteers will be available to help in submitting the application for financial aid. We will also have college representatives, military, and other organizations here to answer questions. In preparation, please refer to the College Information, Fee Waivers and FAFSA Application Information Sheet.
4. Health and Well-Being Screener
In conjunction with the College and FAFSA night, Cedar Valley will host a health and well-being screener that assesses the social-emotional strengths and needs of students.
The assessment takes about 15 minutes to complete. All results are confidential and secure. Alpine District service providers will be available to go over the results with students and parents.
Mental health screenings help identify mental health conditions early and connect students with help. Screening also helps counselors to better recognize early warning signs. If you feel this screener would be beneficial to your student, please register at https://tinyurl.com/2p8dsznm.
For questions about the screener please contact Rebecca Andreasen at [email protected] or phone number (801) 610-8458.
For questions about UCAW please contact Marcie Murri at [email protected] or (801) 610-8826. For continual updates and scholarship information see our counseling website here or follow us on Instagram @cedarvalleystudentcenter
5. ASVAB Testing (Military Testing)
Cedar Valley will be offering the ASVAB test here on campus starting at 9:05 A.M. the morning of October 20th. Please sign up here in order to reserve your seat and be offered the exam. For additional information about the ASVAB please visit https://www.military.com/join-armed-forces/asvab
