CVMS News Here’s What's Up! OAKS State Assessment tests The CVMS students are now in the first round of state test assessments. The students that have tested already are doing very well. 1st round will be finished in January. Our 2nd round will start in February. Good luck to the stu- dents. You guys and girls are awesome! Tardies at CVMS We have noticed a rise in unexcused tardies to first period. Please remember that your stu- dent needs to have a note from a parent or a phone call, when they are coming to school late. Sleeping in is considered an unexcused tardy and will result in a lunch detention. The following are excusable reasons for tardiness: illness, illness of immediate family member, emergency, doctor/dental appointment, death of a family member, court summons, and satisfactory ar- rangements, made in advance with the school.

Good job! As we near Thanksgiving, I want to introduce all of you to Wolf Reading. Wolf Reading is a new twenty- five minute period of Silent Sustained Reading (SSR) that will be scheduled every Wednesday. We are very excited about this opportunity that we are pre- senting to our students. This is a separate twenty- five minute period from our other reading classes and the ENTIRE school will be reading during this time. Teachers, secretaries, custodians, instructional assistants and administrators will participate in Wolf Reading. There is a true power with every adult serving as a role model through this process by mod- eling our lifelong love of reading. Jon Franco, CVMS Principal CALENDAR: Positive Behavioral Referrals!!!
