Voice of the CVHS PTO

President's Message

Dear ,

Thank You for Your Support and Let’s Keep the Momentum Going!

As we approach the holiday season, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for the incredible support and energy you bring to our school community. Your dedication—whether through your time, skills, or resources—has been instrumental in making this year successful so far.

Thanks to our amazing volunteers, we’ve been able to accomplish so much already. From student bowling event planning to teacher stipends & classroom support, your efforts are felt by everyone in our school. I’m thrilled to share that we are making real progress toward our fundraising goals, bringing us closer to providing the enriching programs and improvements our children deserve.

But we’re not done yet! As we get deeper into the holiday season, I encourage each of you to consider continuing your support in any way that’s possible for you. Whether it’s volunteering a few hours, helping spread the word, donating to holiday baskets that support our community or making a monetary contribution—every bit counts.

Together, we can make this year truly exceptional for our students, teachers, and community. Thank you again for your generosity and commitment, and let’s keep up the momentum!

Warm regards,

Gauri Semlani 

PTO President

School Announcements
Friendly Reminder - Dress Code Enforcement

We appreciate your continued support in helping maintain a positive and professional learning environment at Carnegie Vanguard High School. Starting Monday, school will be gently reinforcing the dress code, which can be reviewed in the Student Handbook

Update from our Nurse Dana - Hazel Health

Please "opt in" or "opt out" of the Hazel health program. It just takes 2 minutes to pull up the consent form and check the box at the top of the form to "opt out". HISD wants to make sure that every student has access to health care at school.

FAQs for Hazel Health    Hazel Health FAQs in Spanish

Recent illnesses: 

I have seen more stomach viruses lately. Headaches, menstrual cramps, cold/cough symptoms are the norm. Thank you, parents for being responsive and picking up your students in a timely fashion when they are too ill to continue learning and therefore decreasing transmissibility of the illness.

Immunizations: 

I am pleased to announce that Carnegie Vanguard HS students are 100% compliant with their vaccines!
