CAVALIER Chronicle

It's a Great Week to be a Cavalier!
Happy Sunday Cavalier Families!
Tomorrow is Veterans Day and we will take the day to honor those who have served or are serving in our military. Our community is made up of so many veterans and we are thankful for your sacrifices!
November is a month to talk about gratitude and showing others that we are thankful for them. We are encouraging our students to practice affirmations this month and we will have some activities to help them do this.
Basketball season starts for us this week. We would love to have you come out and support our hard-working athletes. The district clear bag policy will still be in effect for basketball games.
We will also have our first honor roll ceremony of the year on Friday, November 15th. Families with students who made the honor roll received an invite via email this past week on Monday and a reminder on Friday. We will be honoring all grade levels in one ceremony this year and are excited to see many of you there!
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.
