Updates from Principal Cole
Dear Parents and Guardians,
The mission of Alabaster City Schools is to partner with families and the community to inspire and prepare graduates to be responsible and productive champions of their future.
I am so excited about the next few weeks at CVES. After reviewing parent survey results, we received several responses requesting assistance with homework. Our counselors and teachers are offering two sessions on February 7th and 9th at 8:30 am. We look forward to meeting with you as we provide resources and ideas to help with homework.
If you are interested in volunteering at CVES, please contact PTO volunteer coordinator, Alex Lightsey at the_lightseys@bellsouth.net.
I would like to thank you for your continuous support and share some things we are excited about at CVES:
- GRC students have written a CVES newspaper. Your child may purchase a newspaper in the mornings before school for a quarter.
- Our teachers are doing an incredible job implementing technology throughout the instructional day. Our district has purchased two iPads and two Chromebooks for each class. We are also very excited about our 3D printer that classes will utilize in the STEAM lab. http://www.alabasterreporter.com/2017/01/13/acs-purchases-3d-printers-for-several-schools/
- Third Grade students will take ACT Aspire Interim III beginning February 13th.
- CVES will host STEAM night on February 21st. You will be able to complete STEAM activities and tour the STEAM Lab. More information will be sent home soon.
- We will have a First grade music performance on February 28th.
- CVES 2nd annual Fun Run will be March 16th. We are raising funds for playground equipment and general expenses. We would love for you to come watch your child participate.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
