Dear Cedar Valley Families,
I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend enjoying the spring weather. It is hard to believe we are already heading into the first week of April! We have a busy and productive few days ahead, so please take a moment to review these important dates and reminders to ensure everyone is set up for success.
Final Call: Plastic Bag Collection - Our plastic bag recycling drive has been a huge success so far, but we aren't done yet! The collection officially ends this Thursday. If you have any plastic bags lingering in your pantry or under the sink, please send them in! We also encourage students to check with neighbors or family members who might want to clear out their stashes. Let’s see how much of an impact Cedar Valley can make on our environment in these final few days.
Upcoming Calendar Reminders - Please mark your calendars for the following:
Friday, April 3: Student and Staff Holiday. No School. Enjoy the long weekend! School resumes on Monday, April 6.
Wednesday, April 8: All students will be taking the RLA STAAR test.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and staff.
Go Jags!
Larissa Ortiz
Principal, Cedar Valley Middle School

Community Communication Sign Up
|
Currently, our campus communications are limited to students, parents, and staff.
We recognize that many other important family members and community members wish to stay informed (e.g., grandparents, stepparents, local supporters).
We are pleased to announce that in the near future, we will be launching a dedicated "Community" communication list.
If you know of someone who is not currently receiving our updates, please ask them to sign up to join this new list. Once our new system is fully operational, it will take approximately one week after completing the sign-up form for recipients to begin receiving campus communications.

Our district is providing families access to GoGuardian Parent, a mobile app designed to provide parents/guardians insight and control over their student's online activity when on school-managed devices and accounts. GoGuardian Parent was created to help provide students additional educational support and is a companion to the classroom engagement and internet filtering tools that our school uses. The GoGuardian Parent app provides an overview of the apps, extensions, documents, and websites your student visited, as well as internet controls that you can set for out-of-school hours.
Learn more about GoGuardian Parent here.

Round Rock ISD Clothes Closet Donations

The Clothes Closet is a project run by the local PTA's of Round Rock ISD. It offers good, gently used clothes to all students in the district who have need. Once per semester, each student can use this service. No referral necessary, just turn up to one of the two locations during opening hours.
In our ongoing support for RRISD's Clothes Closet we are always keen to take your donations of tops, bottoms, jackets/hoodies. Clothes must be in great, clean condition with no tears, stains, bobbling etc.
We also need, NEW ONLY boxer briefs style underwear for girls and boys, plus teen appropriate sports bras. Please deliver to the Jag lobby.
Alternatively, you may wish to support by donating directly using the Amazon wishlist.

There is always a need for happy helpers with a "can do" attitude at the Clothes Closet. For more information about what this would entail contact clothescloset@cevmspta.org or sign up directly. Volunteering with the Clothes Closet is a great way to support families in our wider community. No experience necessary. Spanish speaking volunteers are particularly helpful.

One of the best ways to show your student that education is important to you, is by volunteering at their school. There are lots of different ways to contribute your time, support and resources.
Please fill out the Volunteer Interest Form below to help us match your interests with the school's needs (such as Staff Appreciation, Concessions, Fundraising or School Dances).
Cedar Valley Volunteer Interest Form
This does NOT obligate you to anything, other than possibly receiving emails when we need help in your areas of interest. Please contact Livy Knox, the PTA Volunteer Coordinator with any questions at volunteer@cevmspta.org.
If you plan to volunteer at CeVMS in any capacity, you must complete the RRISD online application. Click here to access the Online Volunteer Application.
