Dear Families,
This will be a busy but short week at school. Tuesday is election day and CVA will be closed to students. Teachers will be busy in professional development.
This is also the last week before spring break. Let's work hard to stay on track this week so we can relax and enjoy spring break. Teachers are not working over spring break so any work submitted will not be graded until March 16th, at the earliest. NCVPS courses will continue on election day and during spring break. Work ahead so you can take time off from those classes too.
We look forward to seeing juniors on campus Monday for the ACT. The test begins at 8:00 am.
Enjoy the sunshine!
