Cleared For Take Off – 2023-24 School Theme
Monday, November 6, 2023
Aviators,
As we enter the month of November, I wanted to provide you with some important updates and information regarding our upcoming parent-teacher conference and other school activities at CVHS. Please make note of the following:
1. Parent Teacher Conference November 15th – Save the Date
-
Parent Teacher Conference will be held November 15th from 3 – 7 P.M. We all look forward to seeing our favorite parents.
-
College Night will also be held in conjunction with the Parent-Teacher Conference from 5 – 7 PM. Higher education opportunities including colleges, tech schools, military, concurrent enrollment, FAFSA, etc. will be in the commons.
-
A Mental Health Screener to assess the social/emotional strengths and needs of students will also be on November 15th. Here is the Spanish information and here is the English information to sign up.
2. Message From Julie King
The school board is anticipating hearing the recommendations from the ALL/DLI study on December 12th. I will be hosting a town hall meeting for the public on December 18th at 7 p.m. at Vista Heights (many thanks to Tim for the use of his building!).
I am anticipating there will be recommendations for changes to the Westlake cluster DLI program since having 2 DLI programs feed to secondary schools can be a burden. We also have 2 ALL programs at Hidden Hollow and Saratoga Shores that may see changes. That may involve moving programs to other schools. There may also be recommendations to grow or shrink programs which is why I am including all of our traditional schools in the Westlake and Cedar Valley clusters.. There may be impacts to other schools and I want to make sure that all parents and staff are informed and have an outlet to have any ideas or concerns heard.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I have heard from many parents already, but have little to report until the plans are presented and I can respond accordingly. You can always contact me at [email protected] or on my cell at 801-623-2420.
Thanks!
3. Sophomore College and Career Readiness Meetings
The counselors are excited to be able to meet with all of our Sophomores this year to talk about College and Career Readiness! During these CCR meetings, we will discuss the student’s academic and career goals and start talking about their post-high school plans. We will also be talking about various opportunities available during high school so students can make the most of their time here at Cedar Valley. We would love to have you attend this meeting with your student. Please click on the link for your student’s counselor to make an appointment. You are also welcome to call the counseling office at 801-610-8826 to schedule an appointment. We look forward to meeting with you and your student!
