Born To Fly 2022-23 School Theme
Tuesday, August 23, 2022
Dear Parents,
Welcome back to the second week of school! It just feels different this year. Students are excited to be here and we are excited to move forward with positivity and engagement in learning.
Please make note of the following:
1. School Safety
CVHS is continuing to focus on the safety of our students. As a reminder, all visitors must check in at the front office. Students may notice that we are locking more exterior doors during the school day than we have in the past. We encourage students to enter through the front doors if they are entering the school during class hours.
2. Attendance Policy – Please visit our website here CVHS Attendance Policy for quick facts and info about our attendance policy. This will include info on how/when to excuse your student’s absences.
3. NEW Student Success Center
Attendance is a primary driver of student success. Students who struggle to get to class will be referred to our new Student Success Center after administrator visits with their guardians. The Success Center has been established to help all of our students get to class. Please support our efforts in working with your students.
4. Picture Retake Days
We were able to schedule 2 picture retake days. They will be all day on September 16 and October 28.
5. Yearbook
Last year we sold out of yearbooks so be sure to get yours now for $59. The price will increase after August 31to $65. The yearbook will continue to increase throughout the school year. Purchase now to be sure you get one. 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]).
6. Class Changes
This is the last week for class changes. Please have class change forms filled out and the $5 fee paid. Once completed, please bring the form and receipt to the counseling office and we will be happy to make changes. We appreciate your cooperation!
7. Suicide Awareness Month
As a part of Suicide Awareness Month, we will have a Suicide walk on September 7th. We will be walking on the track at 7 pm. Food trucks and community resources will be there at 6 pm. Come support and raise Suicide Awareness!
8. Parking Passes For Students
Parking Passes are mandatory for on-site school parking. We have had several students parking in areas that are reserved for faculty and staff. An easy way to remember where students can park is for them to avoid yellow-lined parking spaces around the perimeter of the building. Yellow-lined parking stalls near the sidewalks are for teachers and staff. Students’ parking slots are lined in white. Parking will be enforced this year and the ticket price has increased. Street parking by the school is public and not ticketed. **Buy your parking pass today at the finance window for only $10 and avoid paying more for a ticket. Visit this link to input your vehicle information. https://cvhs.alpineschools.org/parking/
**Please note that school fees need to be current or an official payment plan in place to purchase a parking pass
9. School Fees and Payment Options
Did you know that Cedar Valley High School offers a payment plan for school fees? Stop by the finance office to pick up an application or here
Completed Fee waiver applications must be submitted to the school’s finance department by September 30th of each year for activities, classes, and programs that are scheduled to occur during the school year (per policy 5146, section 5.5.6). The fee waiver application can be found here.
All required fees must be paid or payment arrangements made before a student may participate or pay for any optional activities or fees.
10. Lunch Information

11. Chromebook Insurance.
Chromebook Insurance. Open enrollment is now available for student Chromebook insurance coverage. It is $25 for the entire year (12 months). If you had insurance last year, you will need to renew this year, to continue coverage. We HIGHLY recommend it. The company has been easy to work with and coverage includes everything, except the charger.

12. Club Rush Week
Club rush week will be from August 29 – Sept. 2. 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 or you can print them out using this application link. Please be sure to include the club constitution with the application. In order to be included in club rush, applications should be turned in by August 25. Please come get one and find an advisor. If you have any questions, please ask Mr. Sivert.
13. Jet Time
As we get into our first full week of school, please remember that JetTime 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, and 50% of the grade comes from attendance/engaging in 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]
