Spartan Times

Hello Spartans,

Hope you all had a great weekend. I wanted to thank all of our faculty, staff, students and parents for making our first week of school a success. As we get ready for our first full week of school, I wanted to remind you that our counselors are still working on student class schedules and balancing classes. Due to many factors, it is possible for student schedules to be changed during the first ten days of school. Our goal is to make sure each student has all the appropriate core classes and top choices on electives. We are also working to make sure class sizes are not too big. That being said, if you would like to see your counselor to discuss concerns with your schedule, please visit our counseling department page and submit a request through your appropriate Google Classroom.

I also want to make sure you are all aware of the Five A's of Excellence. At Chula Visa High School, we believe that in order to be successful, you have to follow the Five A's of Excellence. They are:

Attendance - Come to school on time, each and every day.

Attitude - Have a positive attitude, always believe in growth mindset and Do the Right Thing.

Athletics - Stay connected and represent Sparta by playing a sport.

Artistry - Develop and showcase your talent and build comradery by being part of our SCPA.

Academics - The goal is to be College and/or Career ready by the time you graduate.

We have so many opportunities for our students at Chula Vista High School, you just have to be present, have a Spartan Strong attitude, focus on your goals, work hard and never give up.

Have a great second week of school!

Go Spartans!

Chula Vista High School

Home of Champions!

Did you know that Chula Vista High School opened in 1947? However, it initially operated out of Brown Field Municipal Airport while the current campus was under construction.

Additionally, throughout the years Chula Vista High School has been the home to many notable Alumni. Alumni like Billy Casper, who graduated from CVH in 1950 and went on to be one of the most successful professional golfers in PGA history.

Gates will be open for students to enter campus at 8:00am. We will have four entry points with designated drop off areas for students. Those are marked on the map with a blue arrow:

#1 North 100, drop off point is the driveway in the front of the 100 building.

#2 South 100, drop off point is the parking lot in front of the GYM.

#3 Youth Center, drop off point is the Youth Center parking lot on L street.

#4 K Street Gate, drop off point is on K street.

These areas will also serve as pick up points for students after school. For the safety of all, please make sure you observe all traffic patterns and rules.

Please make sure you also familiarize yourself with our COVID protocols:

• When indoors vaccinated staff and all students are strongly recommended to wear a face mask.
• Unvaccinated staff and adult visitors must wear masks when in the presence of others indoors.
• In classrooms with immunocompromise staff or students, we are asking the classroom communities to please support each other by wearing masks when indoors.

An exception where staff or students will be required to wear masks at this point is after they are returning to school following exposure to COVID. These additional protocols are our best way to ensure we can keep our students and staff on campus and engaged in learning this school year.

Come see current and recently graduated CVHS Choir Students this week as they put on Beauty and the Beast. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students.

Students!! If you would like to change your schedule the CHANGE REQUEST FORM will be UP in your GOOGLE CLASSROOM ON MONDAY - TUESDAY!!
The counselors will work on them from throughout the week and will take about 2-3 days to get back to students about their schedule change! Please be patient!
REMEMBER!! Not every change or request will be granted! Counselors will let you know whether or not the change can happen!
Also, remember for the next 10 days, BALANCING CLASSROOM CAPS WILL HAPPEN! So, there will be more expected movement!
