Please join us for Back to School Night on Wed, Aug 28, beginning at 7:00pm at CVHS. Upon entering the building, please report to your student’s first period class for video messages followed by an opportunity to transition through the schedule and meet all your student’s teachers. Parents will visit all classes following the A/B Day schedule. Please bring a copy of your student’s schedule.
There will be a meeting for parents of seniors at 6:00pm in the auditorium preceding Back to School Night on Wed, Aug 28. Students may also attend the meeting if they wish. The meeting will primarily focus on tips for the College Application process: student deadlines, application portals, official transcript requests, recommendations needed, etc.
Seniors: This post-secondary program will be presented to you during ROAR on Tuesday, August 27.
Upcoming Underclass Portraits - 9/11 & 9/12
Underclass portraits will be taken during PE class for 9th & 10th grade students and English class for 11th grade students. More info to come.
Attendance
Improving attendance continues to be a major goal at CVHS this year! We finished the 2023-2024 with a 17% chronic absenteeism rate, which is a 6% improvement from the previous year. Our goal is to remain under 15%.
Attendance and punctuality are critical to student success in the classroom, and absences add up over the course of the year. Being present in school for all classes is of utmost importance, unless the student is sick or out for another excused reason.
Students should be in school by 8:00am with the first class starting promptly at 8:10. Traffic is heavy on school mornings, and students must plan ahead for the extra time.
Please seek to avoid vacations during school days when possible. Time is set aside during the school year for travel including winter break, spring break, and several student holidays scattered throughout the year.
CVHS attendance expectations and reporting procedures can be found on our school website here.
Cell Phone Use
In alignment with FCPS Student Rights & Responsibilities (SR&R), Students are not permitted to use their cell phones during class time. Phones must be away. Phones or headphones are not allowed to be used during instructional time. Teachers are using cell phone holders to collect phones at the beginning of class.
See the CVHS Cell Phone Policy on the school website.
Please help us reinforce with students that their phones need to be away during class so they can focus on learning.
CVHS has made a few adjustments to our grading policy to align with recent FCPS grading policy changes. Be sure to review the CVHS grading information here on the school website.
Bathroom Safety
Occasional bathroom breaks are necessary during the school day; however, prolonged periods of loitering in areas with limited supervision, especially in groups, can have negative consequences for both the individual student and the overall school community. The bathrooms, being private areas, are unfortunately more susceptible to inappropriate activities. Security and administrators will routinely monitor the bathrooms to the extent possible. We request your support and cooperation in encouraging responsible behavior and reinforcing appropriate bathroom usage habits. We also ask that students notify a staff member immediately if they witness any dangerous bathroom behavior.
Lunch & Food Deliveries
Students are not allowed to leave campus during lunch, eat in their cars, or order food from a delivery service during school hours. If a student forgot their lunch, parents or guardians can bring lunch and drop it off in the main office. Students may also purchase lunch in the cafeteria. When ordering food, students will often have a delivery driver come to an entrance other than Door 1, which compromises the safety of the entire school. Our office staff does not have the time to accept and manage food deliveries and will not open the doors for Uber Eats, GrubHub or any other service.
