CVSD Counseling & Career Advice Featured

Our CVSD counselors provide caring comfort as well as career advice.

McDonald Elementary Counselor Missy Scott says, "My role in the student's experience is to come along side them and support them in their academics, their behavior, socially and emotionally, so that they're successful in all avenues and aspects of their life. I have been really proud of our kids and our families given the difficulty of this time. Every child can learn and every child is worth of everything that we can put in to help them succeed. I couldn't do my job without the support of the community. I think it takes a village and they are amazing." #CVSDCaringComfort

University High School College & Career Counselor Nicole Rippee adds, "I like to start big picture and think, 'Where do you see yourself ten years from now? What are you passionate about? What are you excited about?' and exploring how that translates into a career. We're really trying to still provide all the same resources for kids, but just doing it through a screen. Myself and other counselors can be that catalyst to look at them and be like 'You've got this! You can do it!'" #CVSDCareerAdvice

CVSD Extracurricular Activities Featured

Our CVSD coaches & advisors provide essential social learning for our students.

Michael Muzatko, CVHS Theater Director says, "One of the reasons I like working at CV is because there isn't a stigma. Like a sports kid who is the quarterback of the football team can be Captain Hook in Peter Pan. We are a very aggressive program. They take it very seriously. Professionalism is a work ethic and an attitude -- it is not a paycheck -- and they can recite that to you. Kids that are involved in the arts, their brains fire differently. It encourages them to come up with multiple solutions to one problem and they do better academically across the board. The voters provided us with this facility and I will forever be grateful for the voters of the city of Spokane Valley."

Ryan Butner, CVHS Health & Fitness Teacher & Football Coach adds, "You see a lot of character in a student when they are put into a competitive situation. Team bonding allows the kids to be a part of something bigger than themselves. The athletic programs at Central Valley are essential to our school and our community because it provides an opportunity for kids no matter their background."

CVSD Health & Wellness Featured

Hear how our custodians and nurses are creating a safe and healthy environment for our students.

George Berryman, Head Custodian of Progress Elementary, says, "I think being part of the essential staff to help kids get back in to school means a lot to me. You know I have three kids of my own--they absolutely love going to school. We are doing our best to get rid of the germs and make sure that anything that is touched is cleaned again and again and again. Anything I can do to help is what I want to do--whatever it takes."

William Bronsch, Head Custodian of Ponderosa Elementary, adds, "Our custodial staff has played an important part and a critical part in sanitizing our school; keeping classrooms and the hallways safe."

Stephanie Lilljestrand, School Nurse, supplements, "Our nursing team is phenomenal! They have 12 certificated school nurses that are covering 28 buildings in our district. I get to be part of that and hopefully be that one person that could make a big difference for somebody. It's nice to be part of something that you know is benefitting the community and helping the kids have that teaching and social piece to their life back a little bit."

CVSD Levy Dollars During the Pandemic Featured

Local levy funding has been critical in helping Central Valley School District respond to the pandemic.

Levy dollars have funded laptops for every student who needs one in our district and the technology to make district learning possible.

Our local levy also funds essential positions like nurses, counselors and custodians, who play a critical role in keeping school buildings open as students return to in-person learning as well as providing support for students with distance learning.

Levy dollars have helped fund over 975,000 meals to students in our community including meal delivery for those experiencing food insecurity.

Levy funding has been essential to help us meet the needs of our community during this time.

And levy funding will help us return to programs students have missed over the past year, like sports, music and drama.

The election for the 2021 Replacement Levy is February 9th.

CVSD Levy Programs and Staff Featured

The Central Valley School District local levy provides funding for essential programs and staff that create quality schools.

These levy dollars fill the gap between state funding and the actual cost of services.

Important programs for our families, like special education, AP courses and extracurriculars like athletics, music and drama, are all funded by the levy.

The levy also provides for lower class sizes and funds services like technology, safety and security, and counseling support.

This means every CVSD student has a laptop who needs one. And counselors are connecting with students and families every day, whether virtually or in person.

With the community support of the levy, we are able to create the best learning environment possible for our students.

The election for the 2021 Replacement Levy is February 9th.

CVSD School Safety Featured

We are very grateful for community support allowing us to continue the great work that we are doing as a security team. Not only to provide a safe environment for our students and our families, but also with this pandemic that we are all facing with the ability to do the work necessary to make sure everyone is being safe for when we get back to in-person learning.

If our kids are not feeling safe and comfortable, then it's going to be difficult for them to learn. The campus resource officer's role has changed quite a bit with the pandemic. Right now there are some students in school -- but not all of the buildings are full yet -- and so what we have them doing is a lot of the community outreach. Whether its transporting a student or getting something to a family that is unable to come to our building---whatever it takes to get that family what they need. They delivered more than 1,800 Chromebook devices to family's doorsteps this spring for those that needed them for virtual learning.

This is a challenging time for all of us and for them to be able to pivot their mindset from what they are normally doing to meeting the needs of the district that we are facing today is greatly appreciated and we really can't do that without our community support.

Our school safety is made possible by local support. #CVSDSchoolSafety #LocalSupport
