Director’s Note from the Middle School: 

CVMS Families,

We are so excited to have students back for the new year! I hope you enjoyed a happy holiday season with friends and family. Staff have been focusing this week on reteaching classroom routines and expectations so every student has a fresh start and understands what is expected of them. Teachers are also busy getting students excited about their learning in the new year, so please ask your students what they are focusing on in classrooms. Look out for some academic updates in our next newsletter.

Sincerely, 

Graham Wynings, School Director
