Good
afternoon to all of our Cub families.
This is your principal, James Vernon, and I am hoping that all of our
families have stayed healthy and have been able to enjoy their summer. I know these times have been unusual and
changes in our routines have been challenging.
This week our
district shared their newly updated Health and Wellness Protocols. You can find
them on Charlotte County Public School's website, our school website, and on
our school's Facebook page. You also
should have received the notification that our students’ school start date has
been pushed back to August 31st.
I know the district is working around the clock to finalize the students’
and staff’s new calendars and I will get information out to our families as
soon as I can.
I appreciate
your patience and understanding as we continue forming our classes and preparing
our school for reopening. I know everyone has understandably strong feelings
and emotions about whether or not to bring their children back to our school
building. All of these feelings are of course, fine as each family faces
different situations
For
those of you considering enrolling your child in Charlotte Virtual School or
homeschooling. I want you to understand the entire process of each option so
you can make an informed decision regarding your child's schooling at least for
the first semester of this school year.
I encourage
you to go to their website at https://www.yourcharlotteschools.net/domain/4536
and read through the information provided, especially the FAQs and review the
curriculum for which your child will follow. This is probably the most
important thing you can do before making a final decision on whether you will
register them at CVS, attend school at Deep Creek Elementary, or home school
your child.
If you
do complete an application for your child to attend CVS, your child will be
withdrawn from our school and be placed into Charlotte Virtual School. Once
enrolled in Charlotte Virtual School, all parents and students will be required
to participate in a virtual orientation and commit to the conditions of
enrollment. There is a 21 day grace period for which a student can return to
their zoned school.
If you
are interested in home education, the most important thing you need to know is
that you will be withdrawing your student from Charlotte County Public Schools
and taking on the responsibility of educating your child with your curriculum
of choice.
Please
know that we honor whatever decision you make as a family in regards to your
child's schooling, at least for the first semester of this school year.
For
those students who will be attending Deep Creek, you can expect a letter or
postcard regarding Open House and your child's class placement by the middle of
August. To say we are excited to see our Ready, Responsible and Respectful Cubs
is a severe understatement! I know this
school year will look different, but our goals of being a Cub Family and
reaching Nothing Less Than Our Success will not change.
Thank you for taking
the time to listen to this message. Have a nice weekend!
