It's Back to School Time!
Welcome Back Silver
Spring! It was such a wonderful day! The hallways & classrooms were buzzing
with excitement, happiness, & laughter.
As a reminder, the beginning of a new school year comes with new routines, new
students, and new bus routes. Please be patient as this "newness"
becomes routine. This typically takes about a week. Thanks for your
flexibility.
We are looking forward to an amazing school year together!
Back to School Night – We are looking
forward to Back to School Night on August 30, 2018. To allow families with
multiple children to be able to attend at least two sessions, we are going to
run our evening over two sessions beginning at 6:00 with the principal's
address. You will go directly to the multi-purpose room at the beginning of
this event. Session 1 in teachers' classrooms will begin promptly at 6:30 PM.
Session 2 in teachers' classrooms will begin promptly at 7:10 PM. The purpose
of two sessions for everyone is to allow two opportunities to meet with teachers.
This is for those of you with multiple children in the building. We are
respectfully asking that only parents attend the event as space will be limited
and plan to arrive early as we plan to begin promptly at 6:00
Bus
Information –
Bus stop information can be found in one of two places – under the “Buses” tab
in the CV SIS parent portal (login by clicking here) or via Infofinder on
the Transportation website which can be found by clicking here.
Lunch Accounts – Money can be added to student lunch accounts
by submitting cash or check made payable to “CV Lunch Account” (be sure to put
in an envelope clearly marked with the student name) or by setting up a lunch
account at SchoolCafe. Lunch menus are
posted on the website under
Birthday
Snack Information:
Our
school district Wellness Committee met this summer to review the Wellness Plan
for CVSD, and among things discussed were birthday snacks. The preferred snack
in store bought baked goods so the label can be referenced for allergy and
nutritional information- (mini cupcakes,
mini muffins, or individually
wrapped snacks like pretzels, popcorn, rice krispie treats, etc.) The wellness team would also suggest non-food
items such as pencils, stickers, bookmarks, erasers, etc. as an alternative to
food-based treats.
Breakfast/Lunch
Menu:
If
you are interested in what we are serving for breakfast or lunch each day to be
able to make an informed decision with your child, please check out the
breakfast and lunch menu information found at the Culinary
Nutrition Services
web page.
CLARIFICATION ABOUT SCHOOL SUPPLIES
Once again, the Cumberland Valley School District will be
providing all school supplies for students. Parents should be sure that
their students have a backpack and if desired, a lunchbox for school. As
always, boxes of tissues and hand-sanitizers for the classrooms are always
welcome and greatly appreciated.
Reminder: There will
be no school on Monday, September 3 due to the Labor Day holiday.
