2024 Reminder
Just a gentle reminder to please be courteous to our neighbors. Do not block our neighbors’ driveways or move trash cans. Please do not drop off/pick up students in residents’ driveways. Also, remember that students may not be dropped off or picked up in any of the staff parking lots. Let’s all be courteous to our CVHS neighbors. As construction continues on our field, we understand traffic and parking is a challenge. Give yourself a few extra minutes to minimize those challenges. Please remember this is for the safety of all.
