Lockers and other district storage areas provided for student use remain under the jurisdiction of the district. The district reserves the right to inspect all lockers, including PE lockers. Valuables and unsealed food should never be stored in student lockers.
School Supplies
Starting in 2016, in order to lessen the financial burden on families, our district began to shorten school supply lists and include only those items for personal use. For high school students, this change means that items such as graphing calculators are optional and will be provided at no charge and workbooks will be provided at no cost to families. Personal school supplies are still required and include those items that are carried from class to class by a student.
All high school students are encouraged to bring basic personal supplies, including a pen or pencil and paper, on the first day of school. If you are unable to provide these items, they will be provided to your student at no cost. Please contact the school counseling office for confidential assistance.
Student ID Card
Student ID cards are issued at registration. Students are strongly encouraged to carry their student ID cards at all times while at school. An ID card is required to check out books from the library and at times, students may be required to produce their ID cards as proof of attendance at CVHS. Student ID cards are also required to attend sporting events and school dances. A replacement student ID card may be purchased for $5 from the Attendance office. TIP: Students are encouraged to keep photos of their ID cards on their cell phone.
Textbooks
Student ID cards are required to check out text books and materials. Students need to bring their current student body cards in order to check out textbooks. Payment is required for all lost or damaged textbooks. Damages include writing with pencils, pens or highlighters, torn pages, broken bindings or liquid damage. Textbooks must be protected with a thick paper cover. These are available free of charge in the library. School supplies vary depending on student coursework.

Visitors without a student currently enrolled in a school may also visit, but they must schedule their visit 24 hours in advance through the main office.
