Supply lists for all CVCS classes are now available online. PLEASE NOTE: The first day of school for CVCS will be Tuesday, August 12. There will be no bus or hot lunch service that day. Please bring your child to school for 8:15 a.m. and stay for a special classroom orientation that will last a half to one hour. (If you cannot make the morning session, please come to the alternative time at 6:30 that evening.) The orientation will give us an opportunity to enhance parent-teacher communication right from the start. Students will be released at 11:30 a.m. In exchange for this day, CVCS will observe the Martin Luther King holiday in January 2009. Have a great summer break!

Congratulations to Paula Barteau, winner of the 2008 CVCS Governing Council Scholarship!

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE CVCS ONLINE MARKETPLACE! CVCS has several very easy ways for parents and friends of CVCS to help the school's fundraising efforts, at no extra cost to you; for details, please see the Fundraising Committee page. The newest, and potentially most valuable, is our online marketplace. When you use the marketplace links to make a purchase, CVCS will receive a donation. An extensive list of merchants is available using easy-to-browse categories. Anyone can use these links to benefit the school, so please spread the word to friends and family. Thank you!

Parent involvement is crucial to the success of our children and our school. You can express your interest in volunteering at the school by filling out our Volunteer Opportunities form and returning it to the CVCS office. Thank you!

The CVCS administration, Governing Council, and Facilities Committee are actively working toward permanent facilities for our school, based on the site plan developed for us in 2006. This site plan, along with a detailed report on requirements and design considerations, is available online; a copy is also available in the CVCS office. We encourage everyone to review the plan. If you would like to contribute to this important effort, please contact the Chair of the Facilities Committee. The committee meets regularly throughout the year.

If you haven't already signed up, or renewed, to support CVCS through the Smith's Earn-N-Learn program, please do so soon! Anyone can sign up; annual renewal is required but takes only a minute at the Smith's cash registers. The program costs you nothing, and Smith's will donate a percentage of your purchases to CVCS. In the past five years we have received over $15,000, so this is an easy and effective way to help raise money for our school. Thank you!

The next regular Governing Council meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 13, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. in the school multi-purpose room. Draft agendas are generally posted in advance.

The CVCS Parent Association meets regularly at 6:30pm on the first Wednesday of each month while school is in session. The next meeting will be on Wednesday, September 3. Have a great summer, everyone! Notes and agenda information from some of the past Parent Association meetings are available.
