Today at the lower grade (1-3) recess in the afternoon a student reported a baby snake to the teacher on duty. The snake, who turned out to be a gopher snake, was quickly captured by the CVE staff. This was used as a learning opportunity for our students who were out at recess for what to do if they see a snake. Big thanks to Gavin Howard for reporting the snake right away to our staff. The snake was picked up by Jairi at Nor Pines snake relocation. Thank you to her for showing up quickly and taking the little guy to a farmstead that will be a better fit for him than our playground. This would be a great time to speak to your student about snake safety as the weather warms up and they start venturing out of their summer homes.

Happy Friday CVE! Check out the 3rd issue of the Coyote Cubs Crier. Another amazing issue from Laylony Barocio, Adrianna Jensen and Liam Miller. Keep up the great work!

And they're off! Yesterday our sixth graders left for sixth grade science camp. Many of our staff and students came out to send them off. They are having a great time and making memories that will last a lifetime. Have fun sixth grade!

Good morning CVE families, today at 9:30 we conducted a lockdown drill with our students. Students were notified it was a drill ahead of time, so as to ease anxiety as much as possible. Our students did an amazing job and took the drill seriously, and we are very proud of them. Per California Education Code we conduct safety drills monthly. For more information about our safety procedures, please take a look at CVE's Safety Plan by clicking the link below. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X41TqCulm9NymPkEPDo8kyPXvI18ke0vJHIIS4cuPvM/edit?usp=sharing

I get by with a little Howl-p from my friends! Happy Friday CVE. We wanted to hold off on the Howler yesterday, so we could announce the winners of the Book Wars reading competition. Control of the galaxy goes to...The Rebels! And for the TK/Kinder competition, the winner is...Mrs. Bazzano's Jedis! What a great month and a half. In the last 6 weeks our students have read over 30,000,000 words; that's 1/3 of their total words read for the school year! Our TK/K students have collectively read over 37 days in that same time! Great job CVE!
