Note From the Health Clinic

Attention Parents and Caregivers: We want to properly care for your student(s) while here during the school day. If your student is prescribed any medication for a condition that may need to be treated during the school day (diabetes, allergies, asthma, seizures, daily medications, etc.), please remember to bring the medication(s) to the Health Clinic along with all properly signed paperwork. Required paperwork can be found HERE under “Health Clinic.” If you have any questions, please email healthclinic@cvcaroyals.org.

Short-term Exchange Host Families Needed

CVCA will be hosting STEP (short-term exchange program) students from Brazil and Norway from September 12 to September 22 for our STEP program.
