Dear Chartiers Valley Families,
As we continue to address the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, I continue to be impressed by the tremendous efforts and patience exhibited by our community. We have responded in ways that only CV Colts can - and for that I am grateful. Please

to view a brief newsletter highlighting the extraordinary examples of how the Chartiers Valley School District and community are responding to the COVID-19 crisis.
The District will continue to follow the guidance and orders mandated by the Governor regarding social distancing and subsequent closures. While this situation has created a lot of uncertainty, the safety of our students, families, faculty, and staff remains our utmost priority.
Therefore, the District has made some decisions regarding previously scheduled spring and summer events/activities. Please keep in mind that the COVID-19 crisis is a moving target, which makes it difficult to anticipate what may happen in a week, let alone a month from now.
