1. Clothing and/or accessories which create a disruption to the learning and learning environment for staff and students. Examples include but are not limited to:

• Transparent, revealing, or immodest garments, exposure of undergarments, costumes and/or costume material
• Clothing which displays language/symbols which violate stated guidelines related to age-appropriateness, profanity, vulgarity, divisive, harassing, and/or threatening conduct.

• Hats/hoods which hide or blur the face (hats may be worn during outside recess and on the bus)
• Large, oversized jackets, trench coats, overcoats, western dusters, and overcoats of a similar nature during school hours. Students wearing the above items should store them in their lockers/”cubbies” upon arrival at school.
• Baggy Pants – Students are prohibited from wearing excessively large, baggy pants, pants that drag on the floor while walking, or cargo type pants with excessively large pockets. (Tailored type cargo pants are acceptable.)
• Unsafe Footwear – Students must wear shoes at all times during the school day. Slippers or other footwear with soft soles cannot be worn. Open-toed shoes, extremely high heels, and platform shoes may pose a hazard for students and may be prohibited.
• Chains – Students shall be prohibited from wearing large chains, chains attached to wallets, spiked dog collars, spiked wrist bands, or any similar item that poses a danger to the student body.

With that being said, 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 cases already 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.

Hi, Parents!

Are you looking for a chance to meet other parents and to help bring some fun into your kiddo's classroom? And one that doesn't take a whole lot of time? We've got a great opportunity for you--sign up to be a room parent!

The Room Parent information meeting will be held Thursday, September 14th, from 7:00-7:30 p.m. in the Shaull cafeteria. Room parents plan the fall and winter classroom parties (which parent volunteers are able to attend). This meeting is an opportunity to meet other parent volunteers for your child's classroom, talk about who can act as the head room parent (this is just the person who communicates with the teacher and coordinates the volunteers), and get the party planning process started. If you cannot attend this meeting but would still like to volunteer, no problem!

If you would like to volunteer to be a room parent, please sign up here:

Our students LOVE these parties but we need parents to make them happen, so please consider volunteering. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at courtneyRorr@yahoo.com.

We hope your school year is off to a great start! Many of you have a child who signed up for 5th grade band at the end of last school year. If your child did not sign up for band last year, there is still time to sign up, and this will be valuable information for you as well.

Please click here to view a short video of important information about our band program and what your student will need to get started.

Below is additional valuable information. Please reach out to your school’s band director if you have any additional questions.

Please click here to view a video containing information on how to rent an instrument for Orchestra, along with more in-depth information about lessons.

If you have NOT registered for Orchestra but wish to do so, please email Miss Erin Marshall at emarshall@cvschools.org.

During the next week, students will be measured for the instrument in which they signed up to play. They will bring home a piece of paper stating what size they need for their instrument. With that information, please visit the link (found in the video) for the instrument vendors we suggest. They will all bring your child's instrument to their elementary school. Please do not order an instrument for your child until you receive their measurement information.

We look forward to starting our year in Orchestra.

Thank you,

Of important note, this is for breakfast ONLY during the 2023-24 school year.

As a reminder, if your child qualifies for free meals through the State (also known as direct certified) or if you completed a free/reduced application after July 1, 2023, and have received a letter stating your child is eligible to receive free/reduced meals, their school lunch will also be FREE. If you have any question regarding your child’s meal status, please do not hesitate to contact the Food Service office.

Families who are not direct certified or who have not already completed an application for the 2023-24 school year are encouraged to click the link below to complete a free/reduced meals application, which is available any time throughout the year, to determine eligibility. An application is not required for PA's 2023-24 free breakfast program.
