Principal's Message
Tonight is our Science Fair! Please come out to the Shaull Science Fair from 6:00-7:00 PM in our school gym. Student projects will be displayed throughout the gymnasium for you to walk through and learn! We hope to see you there!
Thank you to everyone who came out to last week's Skating Party at Olympic! It was such a great time! Surprisingly, I only fell one time, though there were several close calls along they way! I hope your Shaull students had an amazing experience. It was such a pleasure seeing the confidence of our students on skates grow throughout the evening!
As you know, the One District, One Book initiative is well underway. Please see the section below with the chapter reading calendar and our You Tube page for Shaull staff chapter readings each night!
Next Friday, a special Mini THON Breakout Room is being held at Winding Creek Elementary School! See the flyer below for information about this unique and fun event! Again, we thank you so much for your donations to the CV Mini Thon over the past several weeks!
As a reminder, we are closed on Monday, February 19, 2024 in observance of Presidents' Day. The following day on Tuesday, February 20th, we have a lunch change. Instead of choice 1 of Hot Dogs, it will be French Toast Sticks. The other choices will remain as published on the lunch calendar.
Thank you for reading this edition of Shark Bites!
Have a great weekend!
Respectfully,
Mr. T.

Flexible Instruction Day Reminder
Here at Cumberland Valley, we may utilize up to five Flexible Instruction Days (FID) due to emergency situations such as inclement weather. FIDs may also be utilized for other emergency circumstances during which students receive learning activities and assignments at home in order to provide for continuity of instruction. Learning activities and assignments will continue the classroom experience and allow us to avoid make up days.
Elementary school attendance on a FID requires the student to be present for the live, synchronous Morning Meeting AND they must complete the asynchronous work assigned by the teacher. In the event a student is unable to attend the Morning Meeting, parents should contact the teacher via email or Seesaw with an explanation of the absence.
Virtual Morning Meeting: Unless communicated differently by your teacher, Morning Meetings begin for AM Kindergarten and all grade 1-5 students at 9:30 am. PM Kindergarten Morning Meeting begins at 9:50.
Grade 1-5 teachers will provide the following asynchronous activities for students on a FID day:
• One (1) ELA lesson
• One (1) math lesson
• One (1) science/social studies lesson
• One (1) Activity from each specials class (Please note there will not be an activity from Art as we are transitioning teachers)
Kindergarten teachers will run two short morning meetings, AM kindergarten at 9:30 and PM kindergarten at 9:50. Kindergarten students will have one (1) ELA and one (1) math lesson for the day.
All students are also encouraged to complete 20 minutes of Imagine Literacy, and 20 minutes of Imagine Math.
Teachers will be reaching out with specific directions for the day. Attendance: To be marked present student are required to attend the morning meeting on FID days and complete the asynchronous work. Students will be given two (2) school days to complete the missed assignments in order to receive credit for the work and the day.
In the event of a FID, we will be sure to communicate these procedures and any pertinent information from the classroom teacher. Additionally, students should be taking their school issued iPad or Chromebook home each day.
Eagle Spotlight!
Check out these amazing commendations!
Mrs. Wagner truly models how we hope our children will treat each other. She models kindness, attentiveness, and patience each day in each moment. My child loves her and thrives in the environment she has created and maintains in her classroom.
In the beginning of the year, Mrs. Stoner (School Counselor) expertly helped my child navigate through a challenge and this absolutely changed the trajectory of the year. We are so appreciative!! Shaull is so lucky to have the best guidance counselor!

Cell Phones/Smart Devices Expectations for School
We have recently had several occurrences where students are texting their parents on smart watches to be picked up from school due to feeling ill or to be removed from other stressors of the school day. As a reminder, students are not permitted to have their cell phones on them during the instructional day or to be texting from other devices during the school day. Students may bring phones, but must have them secured in their backpacks/cubbies during the day. The school is not responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen cell phones.
More students are coming to school with smart watches. Students may wear their watches to school. However, students may not make/take calls and texts throughout the school day while in class. We have had several cases this year where students are texting their parent from their watch to come and pick them up from school. Any student who is not feeling well must follow school procedures, which includes going to see the school nurse if they are not feeling well. Only the school principal and school nurse may send students home. Please have a conversation with your child regarding the appropriate use of their smart watch if they wear one to school. We greatly appreciate your support with this as we wish to have students focused on their instruction during the school day.
