Town Hall Scheduled for Oct. 13, 2022
Reminder: First Modified Virtual Day is Oct. 7, 2022
PREVIOUSLY SHARED: As outlined in the school calendar, Friday, October 7, 2022, is our first Modified Virtual Day. Students do NOT report to their school building on this day. Instead, they will work synchronously (live virtual instruction) during the morning.* Please watch for additional communication from your child’s teacher or principal regarding specific schedules for these days.
We have included these days in the calendar to allow our staff valuable collaborative time in the afternoons to work together as grade-level/content-level teams to plan and enhance instruction. Many districts are providing opportunities for staff collaboration through the utilization of in-person half days. Unfortunately, in a district the size and makeup of Cumberland Valley, in-person half days are not always the most efficient use of time and resources. As such, modified virtual days provide a balance between live instruction and necessary staff collaboration.
The schedule for Modified Virtual Days is as follows:
Friday, October 7, 2022 (K-12)
Thursday, December 8, 2022 (CVHS 10-12 campus ONLY)
Friday, January 27, 2023 (K-12)
Monday, March 27, 2023 (K-12)
Friday, April 21, 2023 (K-12)
As always, please reach out to your child's building with any specific questions. Thank you!
* In the event that a teacher will be absent on a virtual learning day, students will be assigned asynchronous material to complete. The teacher will communicate with students regarding the absence and expectations for completion of assigned course material.
Reminder: Emergency Communication/Official Channels for Communication
Please ensure that contact information - to include both home contacts and emergency contacts - for your child(ren) is up-to-date in Skyward as this is what is used to reach families in the event of an emergency, a change in schedule due to weather, transportation delays, etc. You are able to make changes to this information as needed throughout the school year.
Reminder: 1:1 Device Insurance
As a reminder, the deadline to enroll in our voluntary 1:1 device insurance program is November 4, 2022. Cost is $25 per student per year, with waivers in place for families facing economic hardship and families with four or more students. While not required, we strongly encourage parents/guardians to take advantage of this program as this optional insurance will help to decrease the out-of-pocket expenses families may have related to device damage.
Please reference the email sent to all families on September 15, 2022, for more enrollment details. Additionally, more info about the 1:1 program, including details about damage/insurance and device care/support, is also available on our website by clicking here.
