Born To Fly 2022-23 School Theme
Tuesday, September 13, 2022
Dear Aviators:
With the first few weeks behind us, it’s difficult to believe that our midterm is here! September 14th. If you see an issue with your child’s grade, please email the teacher directly. I recommend that you get on Skyward daily and work with your child as well. I just spoke with a math teacher team this morning and they said most students will pass if they attend because they work very hard to help our students succeed. With that said, please look at your child’s attendance and carefully monitor your child’s attendance. Students’ success is typically tied to attendance.
Please make note of the following:
1. Gear Up Utah
This is a FREE college prep program. For your student to qualify to be enrolled in GEAR UP Utah, they need to be eligible under the Free and Reduced-Price School Meals Guidelines. Working together we can give your student an edge in getting ready for college and determining financial options to help pay for it. All services are provided at no cost. Apply at uvu.edu/gearup or use this form and turn it into your school counselor.
2. ACT Prep Classes
ACT classes will begin the week of Sept. 26th after school Mon. Tues. & Thurs. 2:30-3:30. Students and parents can pay in the finance office or on my school fees $25.
3. Text Message Announcements for Student Activities Now Available
Our CVHS Student Council makes an effort to share information on student activities, dances, and spirit weeks through posters throughout the school, banners in the commons, school announcements, parent emails, and Instagram. Even with these efforts we frequently hear that patrons and students did not hear about events that are happening at the school. In an effort to meet our students where they are at–on their phones–we have created grade-level channels on the BAND App where we will now be sending out this information via TEXT MESSAGE.
This app does require students to download the app to receive messages, but it is the only group text app that allows for groups as large as our student body. Receiving the texts is totally optional, but the app does need to be downloaded in order to receive the messages. All chat and posting features are turned off. Students will only receive messages from Student Council Advisors for full school activities or their Class President for grade-level announcements and activities. They will not be able to message other students. For students who do not have a phone or cannot download apps, parents are welcome to sign up to receive the texts and share them with their students.
To sign up, click the link below for the applicable student grade level and follow the instructions to download the app, and sign up to receive messages. If you have more than one student, and you will be the one joining, you will download the app once but can join multiple channels.

4. Please Drive Safe and Remind Your Young Drivers to do the Same
We are seeing an increased amount of student traffic at the school and in neighborhoods all around Eagle Mountain. Please remind your students to follow all posted speed limits and driving regulations. We want all of our students and families to be safe.
5. Order Pictures, & School Picture Final Retake Day Reminder
If you’d still like to order school pictures, please click here.
If you missed our pre-boarding launch and didn’t get your school pictures taken, we will have a makeup day Fri Sept. 16th. This is a new date, but we are hoping to still have the retake day in October as we have advertised, but this may change.
