A Message from our Principal!
As we move closer to the winter break, we want to extend an invitation for everyone to take a look at the December calendar below. We have lots of fun events and spirit days over the next few weeks that our students and staff are getting excited about.
As I reflect on the closing of 2023 and the new upcoming year, I find myself beyond grateful for the Caver community and my heart full of hope for the second semester. My wish is that everyone has a peaceful and safe holiday season and a happy new year!
Mrs. Canterbury, Principal

Cafeteria Expectations & Visitor Guidelines
We are so happy to see more grown-ups joining their students for lunch and want to share the school wide PBIS expectations for the cafeteria as well as visitor guidelines with you so that everyone can have an enjoyable experience. We appreciate you supporting our students in following GWC’s PBIS expectations of being safe, respectful, and responsible learners!
Visitor Guidelines

- Check-in at the main office after receiving your visitor badge.

- Please use an available overflow table for you and your child to enjoy your time together.

Online Student Verification
At the beginning of every school year, all families must complete the student online verification process. The verification process allows our families to confirm or update information for all children in a household at one time. Families will also have the opportunity to review and update their contact information to ensure continued access to important information and communications from their student’s school and the district. Families must log on to their ParentVUE account to complete this process. In the ParentVue app, parents should select “Open Online Registration (OLR)” and select “2023-2024 Verification.”
To complete the process, please log on to your ParentVUE account. The verification process can be completed in a web browser or in the ParentVUE mobile app. It is important to note that the online verification process is open and available all year to provide families the opportunity to update their information to ensure that the most current contact information is provided.
Visit this page to learn more about ParentVUE in our district. If you have not activated your ParentVUE account or have lost access, please contact us at 757-494-7505.
