New Quarter = New Classes Starting Monday
Second Quarter officially ends today. Grades will be posted in PowerSchool on Tuesday, February 2, 2021. How to log into PowerSchool.
Third Quarter Prep:
- Please complete this important step before Monday morning: The transition to new classes on Monday will be much smoother if students login to Blackboard (cvvl.org) and "Favorite" their 3rd Quarter classes before Monday morning.
- Check the Arrival and Dismissal Zone map to see which door you should enter for your first period class, depending on if you ride the bus, walk, or get dropped off each morning.
Arrival and Dismissal Zones
- 6th grade parents: please arrive between 2:00 and 2:10 for dismissal.
- 7-8th grade parents: please arrive between 2:10 and 2:15 for dismissal.
Arrival - Please have your attestation tickets filled out and ready to go. We will take students' temperature as they arrive.
- Note: Orchestra students enter through Door 2 (or Door 4 if on a bus) so that they can put their instruments in the music hallway before going to class. Mrs. Nord has instruments for cello and bass players, so they don't need to carry their instruments each day.
Dismissal Student number cards are in your Parent Packets that you picked up at the school. Please clearly display the number so that we can promptly dismiss your students as you arrive.
