CVA STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: OLIVER!

We love celebrating our students both inside and outside the virtual classroom!

Oliver, one of our Clay Virtual Academy full-time 6th graders, spent part of his summer in Orlando participating in the FLVS Club Awards! One of the best parts? Oliver had the opportunity to connect with and make new friends from all across Florida! Moments like these are a great reminder that virtual learning can open the door to connections, friendships, and experiences that extend far beyond the screen.

We cannot wait to see all that Oliver accomplishes this year in 6th grade!

Way to represent, Oliver! Keep dreaming, achieving, and soaring!

The backpacks are packed, and the alarms are set! 🎒⏰

As our students head back to class tomorrow morning for the first day of the new school year, it’s the perfect time for a quick refresher on getting to school safely. Whether you walk, ride, or drive, we all play a part in keeping our school community safe.

Check out these tips to help us all arrive safe:

🚶‍♂️ WALK SAFE!

Heads Up, Phone Down! Stay alert and aware of your surroundings.

Use sidewalks and cross only at corners and crosswalks.

Look LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT before crossing.

Be seen!

🚲 RIDE SAFE! (Bikes, E-Bikes, & E-Scooters)

Helmet On: Wear a helmet—it’s the LAW for riders under 16!

Obey all traffic laws, stop signs, and traffic lights.

Ride with traffic, stay off your phone, and yield to walkers on the sidewalk.

E-Riders: You are fast and quiet. Drivers don't always expect you—be extra alert and slow down at intersections!

🚌 BUS SAFE!

Wait in a safe place well away from the road.

Board or cross ONLY when the driver gives you the "OK" signal.

Stay seated and keep the aisle clear.

Drivers: Please review the "School Bus Safety Rules" graphic below so you know exactly when you MUST stop!

🚗 DRIVE SAFE!

Slow down, especially in school zones.

Expect the unexpected—look twice for kids at every intersection, driveway, and crosswalk.

Give bicyclists at least 3 feet of clearance.

Put the phone away, no texting, and focus on the road.

Let's work together to make the first day back a safe one. Share this post with your students and neighbors to help spread the word!

Be Seen. Be Smart. Be Safe.

We can't wait to see you tomorrow! 📚✨

A huge thank you to our amazing Curriculum Specialists, Gayle Weaver and Natalie Sessions, for leading professional learning with our CVA teachers during pre-planning last week!

Gayle and Natalie provided our teachers with practical tools and strategies to make learning more accessible and strengthen student support. One of the highlights was developing interactive pace charts that organize course resources, help videos, module reviews, notes, and assignment supports right where students need them throughout their course.

They also worked with our team to strengthen teacher support and feedback through monthly connections and classroom visits, as well as tools to help teachers better serve our Flex students.

We are incredibly thankful for Gayle and Natalie’s leadership, expertise, and commitment to supporting our teachers and students. They are an important part of what makes our CVA family so special!
