Reminders
Attention Parents/Guardians of incoming 4th grade strings and 5th grade band students:
The Cumberland Valley School District Music Department will host a very important meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2019, to learn more about participation in the strings and band programs. The meeting is in the Cumberland Valley High School Performing Arts Center (PAC) and begins at 6 p.m. for Strings parents and 7 p.m. for Band parents. There will be crucial information given at this meeting. There will also be musical instrument dealers set up following the meeting to rent or sell an instrument to all of those who have not yet obtained one.
If you have any questions in advance of the meeting, feel free to contact Sarah Snyder at ssnyder@cvschools.org for strings and Neil Ostrander at nostrander@cvschools.org for band.
Schoology
Over the next few days, parents/guardians with an email address in our student information system will receive an email from Schoology, our learning management system, providing you with a new password. This is required as new parent Schoology accounts were created as part of the transition to a new student information system. The only action required by parents, however, is to sign into the new Schoology account using the link and information provided in the email.
It is encouraged, upon successful login, that you change the provided password to something you set, you know, and you are able to remember. Directions to change your password can be found here.
If you have not already done so, we would encourage you to add the Schoology email address, no-reply@schoology.com, to your trusted sender list to ensure receipt of this email.
Please check your junk mail if you have not received the email from Schoology by Friday, August 23, 2019. As always, please contact the CV Helpdesk at helpdesk@cvschools.org or 717-506-3393 should you require assistance regarding access to Schoology.
Bus Route Information
Bus route information for the 2019-20 school year is now available through Infofinder. Please visit our website at www.cvschools.org/transportation for more information. Parents/guardians are encouraged to check Infofinder periodically between now and the start of school as pickup and drop off times may be slightly altered due to daily enrollment changes. Kindergarten/mid-day bus stop assignments are being updated daily.

As you log into Skyward for information on your child's teacher, please remember that it is very important that you update phone numbers, email addresses and provide us with emergency contacts. This system is vital in our efforts to reach you in the event of an emergency.
