District Communication

As the District continues to develop the Reopening Plan for the 2020-2021 school year, we are committed to providing ongoing, transparent communication with our students, families, faculty, staff, and stakeholders.  

Parents and staff should check email regularly and refer to the District website and social media platforms for updated information surrounding the reopening of schools.  

Below is an ongoing database of all District communication pertaining to reopening and planning for the 2020-2021 school year.  Should you have any questions regarding communication, please contact Director of Communications Mikaela Duckstein at mduckstein@cvsd.net or 412-429-2390.
