Principal Johnson’s Weekly Email Monday, 10-26-2020

Monday, 10-26-2020 "Turbulence to Triumph"

Dear Parents, 

 

To win is to contend, to struggle, to strive.  I love this quote.  Right now many of us feel more stress, struggle, etc. than we normally do.  We are so fortunate at CVHS to have time to work on these things and develop ways to strive.  Our students are determined to defy the odds and rise above.  If you have not had a chance to watch our Jet Time videos, I invite you to see what our students are learning each week. Here are seven videos that I strongly recommend you watch with your family so you can talk about this with your children.  

 

Jet Talk 1 – Starting Strong

Jet Talk 2 – Your most powerful tool – MINDSET

Jet Talk 3 The Foundation

Jet Talk 4 – What are you building?

Jet Talk 5 – Avoid Distraction

Jet Talk 6 – Stretch your comfort zone

Jet Talk 7 Consistency is better than perfection

 

Please make note of the following: 

1. Internet Safety

Our School Community Council is working on ways to increase internet safety.  Here is a host of Internet Safety videos and lessons Link that will help you lead these types of conversations with your family. 

 

2. ACT PreTest 

Saturday, November 14th at 8:30- 12:00 we will have a practice ACT.  Please Link Here for more information. 

 

3. School Safety Training

The following videos were shared with students at the school as safety training. Here they are for your reference at home.

4. COVID Safety & Health

As we see COVID numbers spike in our area, we are grateful for the opportunity to still see our students twice each week. Please continue to wear your masks and socially distance from one another whenever possible. As we focus on these two things that we can control, we minimize our chances of illness and quarantine.

 

COVID Update – New Dashboard Reporting 

You have probably noticed some changes on the dashboard when it comes to the way ASD is reporting positive COVID cases. The individual school reports are now based on the 10-day isolation number. The total number and percentages at the top are referring to the 14-day period following a positive test. Our conversations with the UCHD will still begin when a school reaches 15 cases/14-day. The POC’s and nurses are doing a great job with the reporting.

 

5. Sterling Scholars

Sterling Scholar applications are now being accepted in the student center (counseling office).  If you have questions email Anna Butler at [email protected]

 

6. A Message From Our Student Council

Aviators…

 
We are excited to announce our first annual Cedar Valley Airlift. We are fortunate to be in a community with families and businesses that have supported our school and it’s many programs.  As Aviators, we have opportunities to give back to our community and its families that are in need.  This year, starting November 2nd and running through November 20th, CVHS will be holding a food drive. Food that is collected by our Aviators will be donated to both students and families in need in our school community and distributed through our school pantry. Our goal this year is to have enough food in our school pantry to support every aviator and their family that needs assistance.
 
We are encouraging all students to participate in this worthwhile event. Donations can be made by bringing their non-perishable food items (water bottles, fruit snacks, granola bars, fish crackers, peanut butter crackers, ramen cups, mac n cheese cups, chip variety boxes, nature valley bars) to their jet time class. Students will receive information relating to food items that will be accepted and additional details relating to this activity during our normally scheduled school announcements and during their jet time period.
 
We are also working with our local businesses and requesting donations to support our food drive and the many students who are participating in it.
 
Additionally, we’ve got some exciting ideas on how to turn this rewarding experience into a fun competition between our jet time classes at CVHS. 
The first place will receive Chick-Fil-A. Second place, pizza. Third place, dessert.
 
We are grateful for the opportunity to give back to our Cedar Valley Community and we look forward to the rewarding experiences that our students will have as they serve those around them.
 
Take care and stay healthy,

 

7.School Activities

Please see our school calendar to view all our activities.  This is a live document that we keep updated daily.  Sometimes activities and games are changed with very short notice, so it is imperative to check daily.

 

Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and your beautiful children.  I do love them so much!

 

Sincerely,

 

Courtney Johnson
