Drop off & Pick up

While we try to make things convenient, our highest priority is student safety.  Here are the procedures we have worked out for your children's safety.  Please follow the guidelines here as you drop off and pick up your students. Be aware that Talmud Torah students are dropped off between 7:50 and 8:15am and picked up beginning at 3:15pm. 

• Morning drop off is between 8:10 and 8:25am at the North Doors (facing the parking lot).  Later than 8:25 will cause your student to be late to his/her first class. (If he/she is late, he/she must get a tardy pass at the front desk). If you must drop off your student before 8:10am please make arrangements with a teacher for them to wait with.  Halls are not monitored before 8:10am. 
• Please avoid making a left turn into the parking lot when there is opposing traffic and others are behind you.
• If you need to park and come on campus yourself, please accompany your student across the parking lot.  Do NOT allow them to cross the parking lot through traffic on their own please.  The easiest solution is to park on the south side of the lot (facing the school).
• Please pull as far forward as you can when dropping off your child in the parking lot so that 3 or more cars can discharge their students at the same time. (likewise for pickup in the afternoon)
• If you choose to drop off (or pick up) your student on Hamline or W. Pinehurst, make sure that they do NOT cross the parking lot or traffic circle.  Students must walk around the lot on the playground side or use the sidewalk to reach Hamline.  Students may not leave through the doors on Hamline.  At pick up time, please have your student check in with the dismissal teacher to let them know that they have seen your car if you are not using the parking lot for pick up.  
•  Pick up begins at 3:35pm.  Students gather at the top of the stairs with the dismissal teacher after 3:30 and walk down together to the doors.   
• Students may not use the playground after school because we don't have enough staff to monitor it for their safety.  If you would like your child to have some play time before getting in your car, we will dismiss your students (and their carpool if appropriate) to you in person only.
• Students are expected to stay in the entry area and pay attention to the procedure so that they can hear their names when we call them to load.  Appropriate school behavior is expected at all times.  If your student is not available when your car reaches the head of the line we may ask you to make another loop in order to keep the line moving. 
• Students riding bikes, walking or using public transportation need to have a written note on file so that teachers can allow them to leave the property without a parent or guardian.  We may ask bike riders to wait a few minutes until the traffic thins a bit for their safety.
• If you have any questions or need to make special arrangements, please contact Melissa via email or at 651-523-7170 ext 200.  

Let's have a safe and successful year! 

New Lunch Catering 

This school year, CVA is going to be doing lunch orders on Mondays and Tuesdays in a different way. We will be working with the Shalom Home kitchens to offer an amazing hot lunch on Mondays and Tuesdays!  

Rather than offering deli sandwiches that are ordered each morning, students will now receive the hot lunch menu and order form each month and can sign up for which days they would like to have a lunch delivered. Lunch orders will be collected at the front desk each month, and lunches will be delivered to the school each Monday and Tuesday for the students who ordered a lunch for that day. Hot lunches cost $4.25 each. Please see the attached September lunch menu and order form. September lunch orders will be due back to the school by September 5th.

All Monday and Tuesday hot lunches must be pre-ordered and pre-paid! Please do not send money with your child in the morning to purchase a lunch for that same day.

Pizza Wednesdays will continue offering cheese and pepperoni pizza for $3 per slice or 2 slices for $5. However, students are requested to pay in advance into a lunch account using the attached order form rather than bring cash each week.

Milk is also available daily at a cost of $0.05 to students or free to qualifying families. Students can sign up for milk in advance, or purchase it daily.

Orientation Schedule  

If you have not attended an orientation session, you have 1 opportunity left.  New Family Orientations are required for all new students (including HS students) to Cyber Village Academy prior to the start of the school year.

A parent or guardian should plan to attend the orientation along with the student.

Arlington National Cemetery is one of our most sacred shrines honoring our nations' Veterans and their families who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom while serving in past and present conflicts.  This ceremony will take place on April 25th with four of our students being the official wreath party.  We are very honored to be a part of this event.
