CAVALIER Chronicle
WELCOME TO THE 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR

It's a Great Week to be a Cavalier!
Happy Sunday Cavalier Families!
We hope that you've had a fantastic fall break and are enjoying the cooler temperatures!
We will continue our morning procedures related to Yondr pouches. Please remind your student to have their phone in the pouch with the pouch unlocked when they arrive at the doors to the building. Students without a device will enter through a separate line and will be checked in and placed on a no device list. If a student forgets their pouch, they may surrender their device(s) at the entry line and we will secure it in the AP office for the day (multiple surrenders over time will result in disciplinary consequences).
This week is a pink spirit week to raise awareness of cancer and show support for the fight against it. We encourage our students to participate in any way that they can. On Friday, we will host a Cancer Awareness Walk in the evening (see flyers below).
On Friday, some of our clubs and organizations will be selling concession type food during the day. Students must have cash to purchase items. All of the funds go to support the student organizations that are selling.
We are looking forward to a Cav-tastic week with your students!

Parents/Guardians should only be driving in the yellow area indicated on the map.
The red area is for buses only. Parents who enter the red area are putting students and staff at risk as there is limited visibility when buses are present.
