Apparel Support Update
This past spring CIVA’s Governing Board voted to update the dress code to better support the students. Assisting students with wearing clothing that will enhance their education is why the dress code was established. Sometimes there is ambiguity to a code that makes implementation difficult. The Board has clarified the code to assist with easier cooperation. On CIVA’s website under Board of Education policies "JICA CIVA Charter School Substantive Waiver" lists the updated code.
Update Your Information
You can now update information about your student(s) through the ParentConnect website. Phone numbers, email addresses, health concerns and emergency contact information for each of your children can be updated, or you can verify that there are no changes.
Please go to civacharterschool.org and click on the ParentConnect icon to complete this process. You will need your ParentConnect PIN and password. If you do not know your PIN and password, click on the “Need Your Login Information” link, enter your email address, and you will receive an email containing your PIN and password. Once logged in, click on the “Fall Update” link (top right) to review and update each section.
Once you have completed the update process, you will receive an email for each student verifying you are done. You can then bring that email to registration as proof you have updated your information.
