A Note From Principal Cline
Dear Charger Family,
First, tomorrow is Saturday, September 11th. Exactly twenty years ago this Saturday on September 11, 2001, the United States of America was devastated by a horrific event. 2996 humans lost their lives within two hours and the world would change forever. 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists had hijacked four airplanes. Two planes hit each of the Twin Towers in New York City. A third plane crashed into the United States Pentagon. A fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania as passengers attempted to stop the terrorists who were headed for the White House or the Capital. While our students were not born yet, their lives would be different as a result of this day and our teachers and parents have vivid recollections of this tragedy. This was a time of uncertainty and unsettling in our world as we feared future incidents. Many brave men and women lost their lives responding to this event in attempts to save others. As a CMVHS Community, we hope that you will take a moment to remember 9/11; there are still thousands of families impacted by this tragedy.
Second, we are very fortunate to have an amazing PTA at CMVHS with outstanding parent leadership. Please click here to join our PTA and visit our website to learn more.
Third, the CMVHS team thoroughly enjoyed the Grade Level Meetings this week. For those that were unable to attend, the following areas should be reviewed:
Title IX Training- Parents may opt to not have children review these.
After viewing please complete the Attendace Form.
We are excited to learn what clubs students are interested in having at CMVHS. Please have your child complete the CMVHS Club Interest Form.
Finally, we thank you for your patience and understanding as our enrollment has grown to 817 and it takes a significant amount of time to get staffing caught up to support every student. I commend our staff and each of you and your student(s) during this transitional time. Please understand that we want to provide personalized help to every single child; however, in doing so, this excludes hundreds of other children until our staff numbers catch up to our enrollment. Thus, we request that you leverage our Live Teacher Help Sessions which are on Zoom on the following schedule:
Have a wonderful weekend and Remember, It’s Always a Great Day to be a Charger!
