Transportation Update
We would like to thank you for your patience as we refine bus transportation for our students at the beginning of the new school year. We are aware that there have been issues with buses arriving late to and from school, and a need for additional buses on some routes. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Please be assured that we are actively working to resolve these issues. We anticipate significant improvements each day as we refine the routes and processes.
Please note, regular education buses can take a maximum of 84 passengers, as long as all students are seated. Junior High and High School routes have been created based on a student ridership of 60 to 65 students per bus. At a load of 65 students, 9 seats on the bus will have 3 students. The driver ensures that all three students are seated fully on the seat. If the driver, in his/her estimation believes any one student is not seated safely, he/she will call dispatch to report an overload situation. Dispatch will then deploy an overflow bus, if available, and notify the school, including estimated time of arrival. If an overflow bus is not available, the bus driver will double back to pick up the other students. At that time, dispatch will ensure relevant people are notified of any resultant delays to other routes.
We are actively working to analyze routes where lack of buses is an issue. Our goal is to continue to maximize these routes so that the loads on each bus are more efficient and each school has an adequate number of buses, before and after school. This analysis is ongoing and solutions are being implemented daily.
With regard to Special Education routes, our staff are finalizing routing and will be reaching out directly to parents with busing information.
If you have any specific questions please don’t hesitate to contact our Transportation Department:
Email: bus@gilbertschools.net
Tel: (480)-497-3311
We greatly appreciate your partnership as we work together to ensure our students arrive safely and on time.

CAMPUS COMMUNITY SERVICE - Key club
Campo Verde High School has a strong and well-established commitment to service. Every year, students log tens of thousands of hours and make a tremendous impact upon others in the community. Key Club is THE community service club on campus. We coordinate numerous large- and small-scale service projects throughout the year. Veterans Heritage Project and Girl Up! are two endeavors that fall under the umbrella of Key Club. Research these organizations! They are all amazing and help our students tap into their specific passions for service to others. We are proud to support them.
All returning members, please attend a meeting after school on Monday, August 12 in Ms. Diggs’ room (517.) New members will we welcomed to our all-student meeting on September 9. See you there!

HONOR CORD IN COMMUNITY SERVICE
Each year, CVHS Key Club along with Gilbert Public Schools recognizes students who have made a commitment to go above and beyond to serve in the community. Students who volunteer 200 or more hours of service throughout their high school career may be recognized at graduation in the program and with an Honor Cord. There are four different award levels: white (200-399 hours), green and white (400-599 hours), copper (600-799 hours) and a service with distinction multi-colored cord (800+ hours).

Sweep
Students who do not arrive to their first hour class on time will be redirected to the sweep room. A parent or guardian must physically enter the building to sign in the late student, otherwise the student will be directed to sweep. Parent phone calls will not excuse the sweep.
While in sweep students will not be able to work on assignments, socialize, or use any electronic devices. Procedures will be in place for students to make up class work and tests they may have missed when they were in Sweep. If a student is swept on a test day, the teacher will allow the student to make up the test. Students who have an assignment due will deliver it to the teacher that same day. All students will be informed of how the Sweep program will be integrated into their school day.
Students who demonstrate repeated tardy behavior will be subject to the progression of interventions and disciplinary action in an effort to encourage and teach proper time management skills. Consequences for sweep will go as follows:
1 st Tardy Offense: Students will be sent to sweep for the remainder of the class period and it will be documented.
2 nd Tardy Offense: Students will be sent to sweep for the remainder of the class period and receive a referral.
3 rd Tardy Offense: Students will be sent to sweep for the remainder of the class period and assigned Saturday School.

cvhs health office
Just a few Friendly Reminders……..
If you were told you student needs immunizations, please turn them into the Health Office ASAP. All medications must be checked into the Health Office. Students are NOT allowed to carry medication with them at school unless the use of the following medication is required: epi pens, inhalers and diabetic emergency medications. However, these items must FIRST be checked in and accompanied by the appropriate form at the Health Office.
Medications may only be brought to school by a parent/guardian or another adult over the age of 18. All medication will be in a properly labeled container from either the pharmacy for prescription medication or in the original container for over the counter medication. Make sure to check the expiration date.
Narcotic pain medication will NOT be administered at school.
If a medication needs to be administered daily or is a prescription medication, a “Request for School Administration of Medication” form must be completed by both the parent/guardian and doctor before medication may be administered at school. This includes any over the counter medication that indicates it is not to be given to anyone under the age of 18, usually medication containing aspirin (example: Excedrin). This form is available on the GPS website or from the CVHS Health Office. Please contact the Health Office for any questions. Thank you!
************************************************************************
Front Office
The Front Office ONLY accepts school-related items for drop off. We do not accept - food, drinks, balloons, gifts, or flowers.
We do not call students out of class to pick up their items. They need to come to the Front Office BETWEEN CLASSES OR AT LUNCH to pick up items at the Drop Off Table.
If a student orders lunch out (Door Dash, etc) - We do not call the student or sign for their lunch. The student needs to be inside the office for their delivery.
If a parent needs to pass an item to their student, the parent and student need to arrange to meet INSIDE THE ADMINISTRATION OFFICE LOBBY - NOT AT ONE OF THE GATES.
No outside drinks allowed.
