RoboHawks Get to Work and Support the Community

Here's a guest post from the CVU Robohawks team. 

This week the RoboHawks and JV Redhawk Robotics teams met and started to dig deep into brainstorming, designing and prototyping this year's bot after the season's release on the 10th, as well as hosted a workshop to introduce the CVSD middle school students to robotics.

The workshop hosted at CVU by the RoboHawks this past Tuesday for students and parents in the CVSD district focused on the FIRST Lego League (FLL) robotics competition. The event marks the beginning of the program after months of behind-the-scenes work and makes their goal a reality of helping each district middle school start an FLL robotics team. The RoboHawks aim to strengthen and encourage participation in STEAM programs within the community by promoting and supporting opportunities for middle school students. The workshop was tremendously successful, with excellent attendance and representation from every CVU sending school! The RoboHawks worked with students to begin their coding adventure in FLL robotics and gave parents a great overview of why the program is valuable and fun! This year’s challenge is power themed and includes tons of fun challenges to tackle. We can't wait to see FIRST Core Values grow in each district school and see where the program goes!

RoboHawks will be hosting another FLL workshop in the near future. For more information or if you would like to learn more about our team, check out our website, or feel free to contact us at cvu_robohawks_2022@cvsdvt.org.

CVSD Update, September 1, 2022

 Dear CVSD Families and Caregivers,

We have had a fantastic start to the new school year and we have you to thank for that, along with all CVSD employees. Welcoming everyone, whether new to our district, new to your school, or new to a grade or classroom, was a true pleasure over the past two days.

Through this message, we share the latest district newsletter. We publish these about every two weeks and try to make sure they don’t overlap with school newsletters. We appreciate you taking the time to read the newsletters.

In this edition, there is a letter from Superintendent Sanchez and below that, other updates, news, and events. Many of these are repeated from our last newsletter and that’s intentional. These are important and we encourage you to read them.

Some elements that you don’t want to miss:

• The superintendent’s letter
• A community-building welcome back event this Tuesday, in collaboration with the Flynn
• Many reasons why you should fill out the Free/Reduced Meals form, even though meals are free for all this year
• A hiring event taking place this Saturday
• And many other important and timely reminders

As always, please use Let’s Talk to provide feedback, ask questions, or share compliments.

Enjoy the long weekend ahead!

The Champlain Valley School District
