SHAULL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Greetings Shaull Families,
This week our 4th grade students had an amazing day at the Pennsylvania State Capitol and State Museum. They learned about the history of Pennsylvania, how our government works, and even entered the senate chambers. Thank you to our amazing 4th grade team and gracious parent chaperones for volunteering their time to make this trip a great success!

This coming Friday evening, we are gathering to honor all of the CV Building Stars at the West Shore Country Club. Our 2025 Shaull Star is none other than our Maestro, Mrs. Amy Schade! Mrs. Schade pours her heart and soul into Music Education inclusive of K-5 General Music, 4th and 5th Grade Chorus, and Band. Congratulations, Mrs. Schade! We are so excited for you!
The Pennsylvania State Board of Education requires that all public school students participate in the annual Pennsylvania System of School Assessments (PSSA). Included with this letter (links below) is specific information that addresses questions you might have about the PSSA testing program. Please read this information carefully. If you would like additional information about the assessments, please contact Mr. T. at Shaull Elementary.

Cumberland Valley takes a great deal of pride in the PSSA performance of our students. Please discuss the importance of these assessments with your student(s) and encourage their best effort. If possible, please refrain from scheduling appointments during the testing period. Thank you for your cooperation and support!
Note: Please do not schedule Educational Trips during testing windows. Per district policy, these trips may not be approved as excused absences.

IMPORTANT Information for 5th Grade Parents/Guardians:
Due to the 5th Grade Science PSSA being administered online this year, students in grade 5 will keep their devices at school with chargers from April 14 through May 1st. This will ensure that all students will have their devices at school and charged for each day's test session.
*Next year, all PSSAs will be administered online.
Spring is in the air and we are gearing up for the Shaull Elementary Carden Club - Spring 2025!
Please see the below flyer and the liunk to sign up below. Note: this is only open to 4th and 5th grade students.
We are excited to introduce the Little Eagles Track & Field Club, a Cumberland Valley High School student-led initiative designed for students in grades K-6 to learn the fundamentals of track and field in a fun and supportive environment!
As high schoolers in the Cumberland Valley School District, we started this club because we didn’t have the opportunity to participate in a free program like this when we were younger. We’re passionate about creating a space where kids can be active, build confidence, and develop a love for track & field—without any cost barriers.
Our club will meet every Monday from April 7th to May 26th at Chapman Field (6746 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, PA) from 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM. High school volunteers will lead and encourage the kids as they learn new skills in a fun, team-oriented atmosphere.
Parents may sign up through our Google Form linked on our website: https://sites.google.com/view/cv-little-eagles-track-field/home

Our PTO works diligently to plan and host wonderful experiences for our students and families.
In order for our PTO to be successful for current and future generations of Shaull students and teachers, we need participation by our parents. Please reach out to me or the PTO at shpto@cvschools.org, or rtysarczyk@cvschools.org for information on how to attend a Zoom PTO meeting or how to get involved in our events. Our PTO meetings are one Wednesday each month and generally are 30-45 minutes in length.
Fly Like an Eagle!
Cumberland Valley School District's Portrait of an Eagle is our vision for all students upon graduation. Through the immersive Kindergarten through twelfth grade experience here at CVSD, our students will be able to demonstrate these seven competencies for success in adult life.
We will reward students each month with the CVSD Portrait of an Eagle Award Certificate. Be on the look out should your student come home with an award!
Additionally, students will be awarded the "High Fly"er" tickets on an ongoing basis to be entered in for regular prize drawings. Students may earn lunch with the principal, a game in the lobby "Sharkade," or prizes from the Principal Prize Bin.
Please use the link below to nominate a Shaull staff member for doing something amazing or for going above and beyond! We will share responses in future editions of Shark Bites!
