Summer News from Good Hope
Published on Jul 27, 2017 10:16

• It is hard to believe that August is right around the corner, and school will be starting up in just a few short weeks! Here are some news updates from Good Hope:
  
  TEAM LETTERS

• Team assignment letters will be mailed home to students on August 1st. This mailing does not include specific student schedules or locker info, but it does notify students to which team they have been assigned, as well as general start-of-school info. Specific student schedule information will be available in the CVSIS Portal a few days prior to the start of school.

• MATH PACKETS

All students entering grades 6-8 should complete the practice math packet for the corresponding math course to which they were recommended. Math packets are available for download on the district website by clicking HERE.  Incoming 6th graders should complete the Math 6 summer packet, unless otherwise notified by letter (last month) about taking a different math course. The answer keys are available for download as well.  

SUMMER READING CHALLENGE

Don't forget to keep reading those books! While there is no specific summer reading requirement, we encourage all students to read and to log their minutes HERE.  If you need assistance logging in, please email [email protected] and someone from our PTO will be able to help you.  There will be prizes and other incentives for the students who read the most this summer. Grab a new book and enjoy the ride! 

NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION

All 6th grade students and parents, as well as families in 7th and 8th grade who are new to CV, are encouraged to attend our New Student Orientation Event on Tuesday, August 15th.  Due to the anticipated crowd size, we are offering two identical sessions, splitting the alphabet in half. Students with last names A-L are assigned to the 2:30-5:00pm session, and students with last names M-Z are assigned to the 6:00-8:30pm session. If there is a scheduling conflict with your assigned session, please try to make arrangements to switch with someone from the other session if possible. No specific notification or RSVP to the school is needed.

The verification process allows us to collect important signoff information as well as helps to ensure that we have the most up-to-date contact information for your student(s). If you need assistance logging in or completing this process please email [email protected] with all relevant information for your help request. If you use the forgot password feature, please note the email will be sent from [email protected] and may go to your junk/spam mailbox. 

VOLUNTEER CLEARANCES

Would you like to volunteer for a school event or chaperone a field trip next year? As you may be aware, PA legislation requires school volunteers to obtain clearances for these school-related activities. Summer is a great time to take care of this if you haven't done so already so that you will be good to go when and if you are needed. Please click here for information about obtaining your clearances.

Note that hard copies of all 3 of the clearance requirements must be submitted to the school before you are allowed to volunteer. Also, note that the clearances are good for 5 years. If you've already completed the clearances and turned them in you should be good to go for 5 years.
