Rising 9th Grade Summer Program

Centreville High School is excited to offer our wildCat Connections orientation program to rising 9th grade students this summer.  This is an optional program designed and taught by Centreville High School staff members and student leaders to provide students with an opportunity to explore the building, meet classmates, and participate in interactive team building activities to help with a successful transition to high school. 

The program will be held at Centreville High School on July 26 and August 3.  The time of the program will be 9:00 AM - 2:45 PM each day.  Students can choose one day to attend based on your availability.  We will have lunch available in the cafeteria, or students may bring their lunch. 

Students should sign up for either July 26 or August 3 as the programming is the same for both dates.  

Registration:

• To register your child, please complete the wildCat Connections Registration Form

• Register by June 16th to allow for proper planning 

Transportation:

• We are planning for bus transportation to be available from local elementary pick-up sites, and we will provide more bus details at a later date.  

We look forward to meeting your child this summer.  We are confident that your student’s experience in the wildCat Connections program will help lead to a positive and successful start to the freshman school year.

There will also be a 9th grade orientation during the week of August 14th where students will follow their class schedule and meet their teachers.  More details about this event will be provided at a later date.

If you have any questions regarding the wildCat Connections program, please contact assistant principal, Sarah Lutes, [email protected]

We will also host our Wildcat Welcome Open House event on the afternoon of August 16th. 

 

Remind Teens to Practice Safe Driving

It’s a very exciting time of year for many teens: longer days, nicer weather, and end of year/graduation activities. 

Please remind teen drivers of the responsibilities that come with driving. According to this video from the Fairfax County Police Department, there were 622 crashes involving teen drivers last year in Fairfax County. Common mistakes among those drivers include failure to maintain proper control (distracted driver/texting and/or speeding), not having the right of way, and following too close (tailgating). 

Consider watching this video with your child as a way of showing the real consequences of unsafe driving. FCPD shared footage of a recent incident where speeding led to a serious, but non-fatal, accident. In a news release, FCPD stated, “Parents and guardians should consider using this video as an opportunity to have a conversation with their teen drivers about how their driving behavior can affect the lives of others.”

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Have you set up your high school student for free mental health therapy?

In order for high schoolers to participate in teletherapy services, caregivers must complete three steps:

1. Give permission for FCPS to share basic demographic information with Hazel in ParentVUE. 
2. Consent for Hazel Mental Health services. 
3. Students must be referred to therapy by a guardian or designated school staff member. You may refer your child by calling 571-749-2940 or by contacting an FCPS school counselor, social worker, psychologist, or director of Student Services.

No-Cost Mental Health Teletherapy for Students Starting April 10 

FCPS has partnered with Hazel Health to begin offering virtual mental health services to high school students via live video sessions. Starting Monday, April 10, parents/caregivers who have been struggling to find a therapist for their child or who notice changes in their child’s behavior will be able to connect them virtually with a licensed therapist. 

Teletherapy services for students are short-term, evidence-based, and culturally-responsive. Teletherapy is available on any device, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Therapists will be locally-licensed clinicians; 50% of whom identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC); and 40% of whom are bilingual. More than 15 languages are available.

Hazel Health’s licensed therapists can help students who are experiencing:

• Mood/behavior changes, lack of motivation, grief/loss.
• Anxiety, worry, fears.
• Bullying, sexual identity challenges, challenging peer and family relationships.
• Academic stress.

The first step for parents is to provide information through an opt-in form. Visit FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for details.

CVHS & Food for Neighbors

 

March 11th is the next Red Bag Food Collection Day!

 

FOOD FOR NEIGHBORS: Would you like to help students in our area receive the healthy food they need to succeed in school? CVHS partners with Food For Neighbors to stock the food pantry in our school and supply supplemental weekend food to our students who struggle with food insecurity outside of school hours.  

FFN is looking for Red Bag Donors to donate food 5 times per school year, volunteers to drive and pickup the food and sorters to help organize and pack the food on event days. 

It only takes a few minutes to sign up and can make a huge difference in the lives of local teens! Visit the website at www.foodforneighbors.org/get-involved to donate food and volunteer. Thanks for your support! 

 

Centreville High School is proud to partner with Food For Neighbors (FFN) to help feed our local students who deal with food insecurity because even in a county as wealthy as Fairfax, one in four kids in our area are struggling with hunger.  Studies show that when adolescents are fed positive outcomes include increased enrollment in challenging courses, higher graduation rate, improved mental and physical health, a decrease in disruptive behaviors and increased participation in after-school activities. 

Food For Neighbors is a local organization addressing this problem by collecting food from our community via their Red Bag Program and donating directly to our local schools. The food is then distributed to the students every week through our food pantry.

“A child’s chance for a bright tomorrow starts with getting enough food to eat today” (Feeding America, 2021). We hope you will participate in the Red Bag food collection program. You can make a difference in a local student’s life by simply adding a few extra items to your shopping cart every 2 months. 

Here’s how it works:

1. Request a reusable Red Bag here and Food For Neighbors will drop it off at your house.
2. Fill the Red Bag with food items that are listed on a tag on that bag. 
3. Respond to the FFN text survey regarding your availability to leave out a filled Red Bag.
4. Put the Red Bag outside your front door in the morning on the next bag collection day, which is March 11. (Collection dates are also listed on the tag.) And don’t worry, they send reminders.
5. Your Red Bag will be picked up from your house, the food sorted at a local school and delivered directly to our school food pantry. 

With your help, even more kids can be fed. For more information on the Red Bag program click here. Check out what items FFN collects as they are targeted to ready-made, individually packaged food items that students and teens can eat on-the-go or with little preparation.

Other service opportunities include Driving to pick up filled Red Bags and Sorting the donated food during the Red Bag Day events. Visit the Get Involved page to find out more and to sign up to volunteer in these 2 very important roles. This is a meaningful way for students to get service hours, too.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ana Alvarez [email protected] (Family Liaison), Robin Thiel-Williamson [email protected] (ESOL Department Chair), Carolina Diaz [email protected] (School Social Worker), or Karen Joseph [email protected] (FFN Executive Director).

 

Thanks for helping us provide food to students who need that extra support!

CVHS Campus Expectations

Wildcat Families,

We want to provide a few reminders as the weather warms and the spring energy increases.  We are seeing an increase in the number of students attempting to leave campus during the day.  For safety and attendance reasons, our expectations are that students:

• Arrive to school by 8:00 and be in class by 8:10.  The final bell is at 2:55.
• Remain in school throughout the day unless they have an excused reason to leave and check-out through the attendance office.
• Eat lunch in the cafeteria or at the picnic table area outside the cafeteria.  Students are also able to go to the library or schedule time with a teacher during lunch if needed. 
• Avoid leaving campus during lunch.
• Avoid gathering or eating at their cars during lunch, or at any time throughout the school day. 
• Avoid going to Braddock Park and the Colonnade during the school day.
• Avoid gathering in the bathrooms

These are not new expectations but are important reminders.  The security team and administrators are actively monitoring the grounds, hallways, and bathrooms.  As outlined in SR&R, students who leave campus without permission are subject to search and disciplinary action. 

We have amazing students at CVHS who are learning, enjoying activities, and doing great work every day. Your support in reminding students of these important expectations and partnering with us to help ensure a safe learning environment is appreciated.  Thank you!
