Message from the Superintendent
Dear Charlottesville Schools families,
Welcome back to school!
When I joined this community three years ago, one of the first things I spoke about was my belief in the power of collaboration — “We are Better Together.” As we start a new school year in Charlottesville, I want to emphasize that this isn’t just a slogan. I truly believe that we are family. And in my family, we get to know one another, celebrate each other’s successes, and hold one another up through our challenges. 
On the pages of this calendar you’ll find many opportunities to gather with your Cville Schools family. Many more ways to connect and celebrate your school can be found on your individual school’s Google calendar. And when you or your student needs a helping hand, remember you are not alone. Teachers, school leaders, and PTOs are eager to support you, as am I. Please don’t hesitate to reach out — an extra set of eyes and hands can make all the difference. Our strength lies in the power of collaboration.
This year, we are marking the 50th anniversary of Charlottesville High School. To my mind, 2024 is a perfect moment to honor the past, celebrate the present, and envision an even brighter future for this beloved institution. Coming off a spring of big sports wins, strong AP scores, and great graduates, Black Knight pride is in the air. And with a new principal in Dr. Justin Malone, we are moving forward strong. Visit charlottesvilleschools.org/chs50 for an updated list of events, tours, and other ways to participate in this golden anniversary.
Additionally, the new Charlottesville Middle School continues to be on track to open next fall — meaning this will be the last year of Buford Middle School. During this transition time, I particularly want to thank our current 8th graders, the Class of 2029, who will have spent their two years at Buford watching the construction of a new school they won’t get to attend. Their patience makes it possible for the next generation to enjoy a new chapter in middle school education in Charlottesville.
We are also entering the second year of our five-year Strategic Plan. Addressing disparities in student outcomes across race, ethnicity, and income is at the heart of this effort, and we have rigorous benchmarks that will ensure we truly “walk the talk.” There is good progress to report from year one, and I encourage you to follow along via charlottesvilleschools.org/strategic-plan.
Wishing our students, staff, and families a year filled with learning and friendship,
Sincerely,

Dr. Royal A. Gurley, Jr., Superintendent

Transportation, Meals, and Student Supports

Transportation
Students are eligible for the bus based on their distance from the school — .75 miles for elementaries, 1.25 miles for Buford/Walker, and 1.5 miles for CHS. Read on for more information about transportation, or find more at charlottesvilleschools.org/transportation.
Bus Riders
If your child is eligible and you requested bus service, the school will be in touch with bus information.
Students are expected to follow safety rules and to behave well on the bus. The “Family Guide to Bus Safety” in the Student Rights and Responsibilities describes important rules and information. Students who present disciplinary or safety challenges on the bus will be referred to the principal and may have their riding privileges suspended. 
After 10 days of unexplained absence from the bus, the student’s seat will be reassigned to someone on the waitlist. 
Parents/guardians (or their designee) are required to escort 1st-graders and younger students to and from the bus stop. For more information, visit charlottesvilleschools.org/bus.

Car-Riders and Drivers
Families should drop off students in the designated zone only (not typically near the front door or where buses drop off). Do not pass loading or unloading buses. CHS students with driving licenses must obtain a parking tag; cars without tags are subject to towing at the owner’s expense.
CAT Riders
Older students also have the option to catch the CAT to CHS, Buford, or Walker. Youth passes are free. You can learn more at charlottesvilleschools.org/transportation.
Walkers and Bike-Riders
We encourage students to bike or walk to school. Students are responsible for their own safety. On our transportation page, we have published maps that show where crossing guards are stationed. The City’s Safe Routes to School program works to support safe walking and bike-riding. To learn more, visit charlottesvilleschools.org/safe-routes-to-school. 
Student Meals (Free!)
All students attending Charlottesville City Schools are eligible to receive a free nutritious breakfast and lunch each day at school. You do not need to complete any application.
Charlottesville City Schools strives to serve fresh, healthy, and tasty meals. We offer breakfast and lunch. When possible, we purchase local food and cook from scratch to minimize salt, sugar, and fat. We also provide salads to offer choices for everyone, including vegan and vegetarian students. Out of respect to our Jewish and Muslim students, no pork products are served. All meals follow USDA guidelines. Menus and meal ingredients are available online — look for a link in ParentSquare or on your school’s homepage.

Does Your Student or Family Have Specific Needs? We Want to Help.
Our students are unique people with unique needs, and we want to partner with families.
Here are just a few situations where families may need extra support:
•    Students qualifying for special education services
•    English learners
•    Families experiencing food scarcity or homelessness
•    Those experiencing mental health challenges
•    Families who need internet access to support their child’s learning. 
We have staff, resources, and procedures to help. Please let us know about your situation and needs — you can start with the trusted staff member of your choice to begin the conversation.
Need Counseling or Other Supports?
Our teachers provide regular instruction in social-emotional learning and work to build a strong classroom community. In addition, we have counselors, social workers, and psychologists to meet the needs of students and families. Our school counselors work to meet students’ needs in the areas of academics, social-emotional wellness, and career planning. To learn more about the counseling program or materials used — or to limit your child’s participation in counseling programs, see your school counselor. You can email your counselor or call your school. See charlottesvilleschools.org/counseling. 
Need a Counseling Appointment? 
•    Call your school or email your school counselor
•    Contact Care Solace, a free service that will set up mental health appointments for our students, staff, and families. Call (888) 515-0595 for assistance 24/7 in any language. Or visit https://caresolace.com/site/charlottesville

More Student Information

Wellness
Charlottesville City Schools recognizes the strong link between a child’s social, emotional, and physical health and their ability to learn. Schools also play an important role in teaching children about wellness. Our wellness programs are informed by the School Health Advisory Board. Find the policy at charlottesvilleschools.org/wellness.
More About Instruction
The graduation requirements are shown on this page, but there are many other areas where you may have questions about your child’s educational options and plans. This might relate to college prep classes, the instructional goals or assessments for your child, any tests or screenings we participate in, teacher qualifications, information about retention/advancement, or more. To learn more about these and other topics, visit charlottesvilleschools.org/instruction.
Teams/Clubs
Check with your school about clubs and athletic competition (at Buford and CHS). Athletes, schedule your sports physical now! To learn more about CHS athletics, which follow VHSL guidelines, visit gocville.org or call 434-245-2699. Please note that CHS has a clear bag policy for school-sponsored ticketed events.
Fees for Students
Occasionally, Charlottesville City Schools classes, clubs, teams, and activities will charge student fees. Fees should not be a barrier to student participation. Impacted families should speak with the teacher, advisor, or principal to make arrangements for fee waivers. Fees may also be charged when Chromebooks, textbooks, or library books are lost, damaged, or overdue. An annual fee schedule is posted at charlottesvilleschools.org/fee-schedule. 

Cell Phones, Personal Technology, & Wifi
While cell phones and other devices have many benefits, they can be a distraction to student learning and harmful to mental wellbeing. At all schools, student cell phones and other personal devices must be out of sight and turned off (“off and away”) for the whole day. Find details from your school and in the Student Rights & Responsibilities document. Cville Schools wifi will be limited to CCS-approved devices.
Dress Code
Clothing and dress are important forms of expression. All students are expected to dress appropriately for a K–12 environment. In 2018, the Charlottesville School Board unanimously passed a resolution that bans students from wearing clothing that depicts symbols “associated with racial hatred and violence,” including swastikas or Confederate imagery. Students not complying with the dress code will be offered solutions such as covering or removing the item in question or wearing an item supplied by the school. Repeated infractions will result in disciplinary action. For details about the dress code, please visit: charlottesvilleschools.org/dress-code
.
Discipline and Student Rights and Responsibilities
All students should conduct themselves with respect—be responsible, safe, and prepared. State law, as well as district policies and regulations, authorize certain school officials to impose disciplinary measures. Officials follow procedures set forth in the Student Rights and Responsibilities. 
The Student Rights and Responsibilities describes expected behaviors and possible consequences for when standards are not met. To receive a printed copy, visit or call your school. You can find it online – along with state-required information regarding laws governing the prosecution of juveniles as adults for the commision of certain crimes. Learn more at charlottesvilleschools.org/conduct.

Discipline at Charlottesville City Schools takes place in a context of positive supports in areas such as behavior, academics, and mental wellness.To learn more, visit charlottesvilleschools.org/supports. 

Grading in Charlottesville City Schools
Beginning this school year, we will start using a 10-point grading scale at Walker, Buford, and Charlottesville High School. We will also continue transitioning grades 6–12 to standards-based grading, a system that documents students’ mastery and understanding of a class’s core skills and learning standards. We have successfully implemented this grading system in some math classes over several years, and will be transitioning to this approach in all other subjects in grades 6–12 over the next few years (with full implementation in the 2027–28 school year.) Learn more at charlottesvilleschools.org/grading.

School Security
We all contribute to our shared safety. Remind your student, “If you see something, say something.” Learn more about our community-oriented approach to school safety. Informed by experts in school safety, our model prioritizes relationships, mental health supports, upgrades to building security, our care & safety assistants, and our community partners, including the police. Find more at charlottesvilleschools.org/safety.
Attending a ticketed event at Buford or CHS? Remember to bring clear bags only. And we will also begin screening guests with weapons detectors. We will initially implement this procedure at ticketed events with anticipated audiences of 250 or more people.
Finally, remember school safety begins at home. To help you store medicines and guns safely, our partners at Region Ten have information and free secure storage devices. Finally, “talk safety” with family and friends about mental health, medicine and gun storage, and substance misuse. Visit regionten.org/blog/do-your-part/.
Strategic Plan 2023–2028
As we head into year two of our strategic plan, we have made good foundational progress on the following four priority areas:
PRIORITY 1
Increase Academic Achievement
PRIORITY 2
Provide a Culture of Safety, 
Wellness, and Belonging
PRIORITY 3
Support Our Staff
PRIORITY 4
Ensure Effective and Efficient Operations
Read the full strategic plan, including targets for how the division will measure improvement, at charlottesvilleschools.org/strategic-plan.

Family Responsibilities
Education is a responsibility shared by the school and the family. Virginia law requires that “each parent … has a duty to assist the school in enforcing the standards of student conduct and compulsory school attendance.” To promote family partnership, we have staff such as our family engagement coordinator, counselors, and social workers. In addition, schools provide activities and ways for families to be both involved and in touch. Find more about parental involvement, including the state’s parental responsibility law, the Student Rights and Responsibilities, and Virginia’s compulsory attendance law here: charlottesvilleschools.org/parental-involvement.
Facts and Figures
On our website, we maintain a “Fast Facts” page with information such as student demographics, pupil-teacher ratios, cost per pupil, and links to the state’s School Quality Profiles. Visit 
charlottesvilleschools.org/fast-facts. 
Privacy Rights
Students and families have privacy rights in areas such as access to student records; choice in surveys, screenings, and data collection; participation in some physical screenings; and limiting the release of student information (including photos and videos) for purposes such as public directories, promotional purposes, or military recruiters. Visit charlottesvilleschools.org/
