STEP Host Families Needed September 24 to October 4

CVCA will host Short-Term Exchange Program students from September 24 to October 4, and we are looking for host families for our Brazilian and Norwegian students. This is a wonderful opportunity for our CVCA students and families. Questions? Contact Brenda Worth.

Hosts provide:

  • Accommodations, breakfast, and dinner
  • Transportation to/from school

Roadwork Updates :

  • Embridge Gas continues to make progress and will aim to complete this job in early October.  

  • We want to make you aware that the City of Stow is beginning a road project on Seasons Road that is scheduled to start now and take approximately two weeks. This road construction will begin at the Stow City line on Seasons Road and end at Allen Road. This will likely impact traffic to CVCA; please allow extra time or consider an alternative route for the next two weeks.

Traffic & Parking Tips

  • Stagger Arrival Times: Morning congestion peaks between 7:20 and 7:30 a.m. Plan to arrive slightly earlier or later to avoid the heaviest traffic.
  • Late Pick-up: Students waiting for rides after 3:15 p.m. should wait in the Learning Commons and be picked up from Lot A.
  • Use Designated Zones Only: Pick up and drop off only in designated areas. Do not have students cross active parking lots, driveways, or roads.
  • Set a Meeting Spot: Agree on a specific designated pick-up location with your student ahead of time.
  • Slow Down: Please strictly follow all posted speed limit signs. Slowing down shows respect for your fellow students, guests, and staff on our property. 
  • Follow the Patterns: Stick to the designated traffic routes, stay mindful of speed bumps, and practice patience as everyone adjusts to the new guidelines.
  • Watch for Pedestrians: We have students crossing near the back of the building. Please slow down and yield to them as they walk to and from class.
  • Late Start Mornings: Enbridge Gas is hard at work by the start of classes. Please allow extra time, particularly on late start days, to avoid arriving late to school. This will not always be the case, but for now we encourage you to do so.

We are also still accepting additional sponsors and raffle donations. Thank you for supporting our student-athletes and coaches!

Shya Coffee Subscription

If you’ve seen Shya Coffee at various CVCA events, enjoyed every sip, and support our cause, consider a monthly subscription at a discounted price. We’ll drop off subscriptions at the Welcome Center or deliver them to your student’s locker on the 15th of each month.

Health Clinic News

A recent change has been implemented for sending students home ill from school. After receiving verbal authorization to leave school, a parent/guardian must update the Orah app to reflect that the student is leaving early so attendance has it on file. Thank you for understanding.

Moms in Prayer

Moms of CVCA students are invited to campus each Monday from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. to pray for our school, families, faculty, and staff. Meet at the Welcome Center by 7:50 a.m. with your photo ID for check-in. To pray for CVCA from home, this PRAYER CARD is a good guide.

Making the Impossible Possible

The gap between tuition and the true cost of education has always been part of CVCA’s DNA. From the beginning, our founders recognized the extraordinary power of a community uniting its time, talent, and treasure. To keep CVCA accessible to as many families as possible, tuition alone cannot cover the full cost of educating our students. We are continually amazed by how God uses your generosity to drive Kingdom impact and make the impossible possible.

Look for more details this October on how you can get involved, and thank you for being such a vital part of our community!

Crossing Guard Position Open

CVCA is looking to hire a Crossing Guard to serve as a visible safety presence and consistently apply the school’s established crosswalk and traffic-management methodology.

This person will help maintain a safe, orderly, and consistent flow of students, pedestrians, and vehicles during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal.
