Dear Parents, In a continued effort to ensure seamless communications with our families, the Champlain Valley School District subscribes to a telephone and email communication service. This service, CONNECT5 is used to send a telephone or e-mail message to you providing important information about school emergencies. Typically, we use the notification service to notify you of school delays or cancellations due to inclement weather as well as emergencies via a phone call, and we use email notifications for general information. What you need to know about receiving calls sent through CONNECT5 Caller ID will display the school’s main number when an announcement is delivered. Be sure to say “Hello” when you answer the phone. The technology must hear a voice to deliver. CONNECT5 will leave a message on any answering machine or voicemail. If for any reason you need to replay the message, you may press ANY key on your phone, at any point in the message and it will replay the message from the beginning. If you have such things as Telemarketer Zapper or Privacy Director on your telephone lines, you may not receive the call. CONNECT5 does not call extensions. If you have a direct dial number at work, you should provide your child’s school with the direct dial number not a main number plus an extension. Be aware that CONNECT5 notifications will go out no earlier than 6:00am. The ability to deliver a message is only as successful as the contact information we have for families. Please take the time to review and update all the information on the enclosed Student Information Sheet. When a CONNECT5 call is made for school delays or cancellations, we will be contacting the number listed in the first phone number for parents/guardians. Should we have the need to utilize CONNECT5 for an emergency, all phone numbers provided for parents/guardians will be contacted. If this information changes at any time throughout the school year, or if you do not want to be part of this notification system, please let your child’s school know immediately. We are pleased to offer CONNECT5 as a tool to improve parent communication and look forward to having the ability to deliver real time information to you. In addition, we continue to utilize local radio stations, TV stations, and the school’s website to inform you of school closings or delayed openings. Regards,
Elaine Pinckney, Superintendent Champlain Valley School District

Code E14: Food Service Operations
CODE E14 FOOD SERVICE OPERATIONS It is the policy of the Champlain Valley School District to recognize any financial operational deficits in food service operations in the year which they occur. The Fiscal Services staff is instructed to make appropriate transfers from the general fund at the close of the fiscal year to cover deficits within the authority of the school board, and not roll said deficits forward to subsequent years. Compliance with these policy provisions shall be reviewed as a part of the annual financial audit process. It is the policy of the Champlain Valley School District that:
No student will be denied a reimbursable meal due to their account balance being in the negative. No student will be served an alternate meal due to their account balance being in the negative. No student will be allowed to charge “a la Carte” items on their account when in the negative (K8 only).
Compliance with these policy provisions shall be reviewed annually by the CVSD Chief Operations Officer. At that same time negative balances will be reviewed and those deemed uncollectible will be written off using funds provided by the School District as support to food service operations.
