Important Message From CVU Health Office
Students have been given the Health Emergency Field Trip Form for the 2014-2015 school year. These green forms were handed out and collected in advisory. These forms should be filled out and returned to school as soon as possible.
In the past, parents have confused our health form with the forms that need to be filled out for sports. Our Health Emergency Form is a different form that must be filled out for every student. A student must have this Emergency form filled out to be able to participate in any field trip here at school. The updated health information allows the health office to meet the individual needs of each student. The Medical Emergency and Field Trip Information form can also be found on our Health Office website. We appreciate your help in filling these forms out and returning them as soon as possible. If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Megan Campbell, RN, Allyssa Cioffi, RN, and Heather Holmes in the health office at 482-7184.

Yearbook News
A reminder to all seniors and parents that senior pictures are due by Friday, October 31st, 2014. Information was emailed home this summer, and all seniors received an information sheet at their first class meeting on September 11th. Seniors can stop by the yearbook office, Room 118, if they need a copy of this handout.
Just a reminder to order your 2015 yearbook early through http://www.jostens.com/. Extra copies available at the end of the school year will be sparse, so it is very important to place your order early.
The 2015 yearbook is being created as an after-school activity; it is no longer offered as a class. The yearbook club would appreciate any photos of sports, extracurricular events, drama productions, or any CVU-related function that anyone would like to submit. Photos can be sent to Jacob Safari, Yearbook Advisor, at jsafari@cvuhs.org.
Also students picture days will be on September 26th and November 3rd of this year. Students need only have their picture taken on one day or the other.
