CVCA uses Canvas as our Learning Management System (LMS). In other words, Canvas is the digital hub of our classroom where upcoming assignments, grades, and resources are posted in one centralized, easy-to-access location.

Parents can access this information by creating an account and then linking their account to their child’s information via a pairing code. THIS VIDEO explains both the account creation process and how to generate a pairing code.

This is the website you’ll use to access Canvas once you have created an account: cvcaroyals.instructure.com/login/canvas. We recommend bookmarking the website for ease of access. Be sure not to include the “www” at the front of the address.

One of the strengths of Canvas from a parent and student perspective is that you can customize the amount of information you receive from Canvas and choose the method in which you receive that information. After you set up and login to your account, THIS VIDEO walks you through the process of customizing your notification settings.

There is a Canvas app for parents that can be downloaded to your smartphone (iOS or Android). You will have to search for “Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy” when you first access the app.

If you have questions about Canvas or need assistance after watching the videos, feel free to send an email to tech@cvcaroyals.org.

Before School – Students may arrive at school as early as 7:15 a.m. Students arriving between 7:15 and 7:30 a.m. should enter at the Royals Fieldhouse entrance. No other doors will be open before 7:30 a.m. If possible, students should arrive between 7:30 and 7:45 a.m. and proceed directly to their first class of the day. All entrances will be open to students at 7:30 a.m. (Drop-off information for Late-Start Wednesdays to come.)

After School – For the safety of all students, it is critical that families pick up students as close to the 2:50 dismissal time as possible. If a student does not have an extracurricular practice, club meeting, or rehearsal, they are asked to leave campus. For thorough cleaning to occur every afternoon, the building must be clear of students by 3:15 p.m. Between 2:50 and 3:15 p.m., students are encouraged to transition to their after-school practice or leave campus. General supervision will not be provided after 2:50 p.m. Students involved in athletics, fine arts, and other after-school activities are under the supervision of coaches, sponsors, etc.

Our Health Clinic nurses are Kendall Hudson, RN; Erin Aldridge, RN; and Patty Rood, RN. At the start of each new school year, our nurses request that you notify them via email with the following information:

1. Please send up-to-date immunization records, especially for new students, incoming 7th graders, and incoming 12th graders. Immunization requirements are available HERE.
2. Anyone providing an immunization exemption form must complete a new form for the current school year. These forms are available by request. Please email the health clinic.
3. Please make sure we have updated information for students with: allergies requiring an action plan and/or use of an Epipen/Auvi-Q, diabetes, or asthma.

Lastly, please access your Family Portal (Renweb) account and ensure you have provided Consent to Treat under your student’s medical tab as well as consent to administer stocked over-the-counter medications, including Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Tums, and Benadryl. The team cannot treat your child without this consent in Renweb.

CVCA’s Health Clinic office hours are Monday- Friday 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The Heatlh Clinic can be reached by phone at 330-929-0575, ext. 216 or by email at healthclinic@cvcaroyals.org.

Health Clinic Forms:

• Immunization Exemption Form
• Allergy Action Plan

While we love for every student to participate in Jterm, we do want to recognize the value of CVCA and church-led mission trips and the financial commitment that sometimes come with it. As a result, the CVCA Administration has approved a variety of Mission Trip Exemptions. CVCA will allow a mission trip in the previous summer (Summer 2025) or current school year and summer (2025-2026) to satisfy a student’s Jterm requirement for the year. Here are the three exemption qualifications:

1. If you Participated in a CVCA Mission Trip in the Spring or Summer of 2025 (Dominican Republic Missions Trip, the Diakonos Spring Break Trip, or the Indiana Missions Trip) – We will simply verify that you were on the roster. 
2. If you plan to participate in a CVCA Mission Trip in the Spring or Summer of 2026 (Dominican Republic, Indiana, or the Diakonos Spring Break trip) – Select your intention and we will share that with the trip leaders.
3. If you participated in a mission trip with your local church in the Spring or Summer of 2025 – At the time of the Jterm sign ups, we will have a form to fill out that must be verified by a pastor from your church. 

• Please note that you will have the chance to apply for the exemption during the Jterm sign-up window and no action is needed at this time. Those that are approved for exemption do not need to report to CVCA during Jterm week.   
• This exemption is completely optional and you are welcome to participate in both a mission trip and Jterm. 
• If you have already signed up for Jterm and this option changes your plan, please notify Mr. Ling as soon as possible so that we can find a solution. 

The High School Jterm Exemption Form can be found HERE.

To request a scheduled late arrival or early dismissal, please complete THIS FORM.

Yondr Phone-Free Campus Policy:

• CVCA is a phone-free from campus from 7:50 a.m. to 2:50 p.m. to support student wellness, engagement, and focus.
• Students lock their phones, smartwatches, and AirPods in school-issued Yondr bags during the school day.
• Parents can reach students for urgent needs via the Main Office (330-929-0575) or send non-urgent messages using ParentSquare/StudentSquare.
• Medical pouch requests can be submitted to the Health Clinic HERE.

Yondr FAQ:

How does the Yondr bag process work step-by-step each day?

• First Period (7:50 a.m.): Under teacher supervision, students power off (or put into airplane mode) their cell phones, AirPods, and smartwatches, place them into their assigned Yondr bag, and lock it.
• During the School Day: Students keep their locked Yondr bag inside their backpack or locker.
• Dismissal (2:50 p.m.): Students unlock their Yondr bags at designated unlocking stations before leaving campus.

What are the student responsibilities regarding their assigned Yondr bag?

Yondr bags are the property of CVCA (similar to school Chromebooks). Students are required to bring their assigned bag to school every single day, keep it in good condition, and pay for a replacement if the bag is lost or damaged.

How can parents reach students during school hours?

• Emergency/Urgent Matters: Call the CVCA Main Office directly at 330-929-0575.
• Non-Urgent Messages: Contact students via email or ParentSquare, which students can check on their CVCA-issued Chromebooks during the day.

What happens if a student violates the policy or requires a medical exception?

• Policy Violations: Students who fail to follow the Yondr policy will be referred to the Middle School or High School Principal’s Office for disciplinary consequences outlined in the Student/Parent Handbook.
• Medical Exceptions: Students with medical documentation requiring device access can submit a request form to the CVCA Health Clinic to be approved for a Velcro medical pouch.
