CVA strives to foster an inclusive COMMUNITY that focuses on individual EMPOWERMENT through INTENTIONAL learning opportunities that INSPIRE academic achievement and character development.
Some of Our Best Features
Character Education
CVA K-8 believes that students are more than just test scores! We believe in the “whole child” by helping students develop a strong sense of self. Explicitly teaching monthly character traits help lead the students to an understanding that their behaviors, actions and words tell others stories about who they are and what they believe about themselves and the world around them.
Transportation
What a fun and great way to get your kiddos to school in the morning! Allow them a little independence while they learn to be safe on the bus.
CVA is the only charter school in the Tri City areas that offers free bus transportation to their community!
Spanish
¿Hablas español?
Si no, ¿es importante aprender a hacerlo?
Students starting in kindergarten at CVA K-8 will be on a trajectory of learning enough of the Spanish language to be able to complete Spanish I by their 8th grade year. How exciting would it be for our CVA K-8 students to head to high school with an ability to possibly move into Spanish II in 9th grade?!
Buddy Time
When one of your school’s core values is COMMUNITY, then we MUST spend time building connections and common ground with others that strengthen the community throughout the building. These relationships can build confidence in students and can also foster crucial socialization skills that can be lacking in some students. Buddy programs are an effective way to help encourage a positive, sibling/mentor-like relationship between students of different ages to instill social and emotional learning.
Open House
We understand that choosing the right school for your child is a significant decision, and we are delighted to showcase what makes CVA K-8 unique and special. Please join us for one of our final open house dinners on March 4 & April 3 5-6:30pm. RSVP to dorian.austin@cvamail.com
It is with a heavy heart that I share the sad news that Naomi Casavant, CVA K-8's former Business Manager, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 24, at her new home in North Carolina. She relocated there this past summer with her two beautiful daughters to start a grand new chapter in their lives.
Naomi’s journey with CVA K-8 began as a parent of her two girls, and she later joined our school family as the front desk receptionist in 2020. In the fall of 2021, she was promoted to the position of Business Manager, where she continued to make an extraordinary impact on everyone around her.
Naomi was truly one of the most remarkable human beings I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Her kindness, generosity, and warmth radiated in everything she did. She had a genuine spirit that shone through in the way she treated everyone she met, offering support, understanding, and a sense of comfort, even in the most difficult of times. Her ability to empathize with others, to make them feel heard, seen, and valued, was a rare gift that touched the lives of so many.
Naomi had an incredible way of lifting others up, always putting the needs of those around her before her own. She showed love and care without hesitation, and her compassion was not just a trait—it was part of her very essence. Naomi faced life’s challenges with unmatched strength, resilience, grit and grace. Yet, it was her heart that truly set her apart. She had an extraordinary ability to make the world a better place simply by being herself.
In every sense, Naomi was a rare and beautiful soul. The world is a better place for having had her in it, and I am incredibly grateful to have known her.
As a school community, we are still in the process of figuring out how best to support Naomi’s family during this difficult time. If you knew Naomi you know that she would want us to support her girls throughout their future so here is what the CVA K-8 COMMUNITY is doing first:
We are creating an Educational Fund that the girls can utilize at a point in their future to help them have a financial step up with the important LIFE decisions they will be asked to make. We are accepting donations for this fund to show our love and support to Naomi and her girls.
Please send any/ all monetary donations to:
Carbon Valley Academy K-8 Attn: Michele Saller

We are also accepting donations through Venmo at:

In the subject line please type: Naomi
Several of our middle schoolers (friends of the girls) have expressed a desire to send some love and comfort through care packages.
We are beginning with a Self-Care package filled with items like journals, sketchbooks, fuzzy socks and blankets, makeup, nail polish, feminine products, face masks, lotions, candles, and more. Naomi’s friends have also taken the time to research local stores and restaurants where the girls can shop, so we are hoping to include gift cards for places like Walmart (Annabelle loves to bake), Dollar General, Food Lion, Dunkin Donuts, and AMC Theatres. Our goal is to send this by Friday, February 7.
Feel free to drop off any donations at the front desk and/or send them with your children.
We plan to continue sending care packages throughout the remainder of the school year and will share more information on other ways we can honor and support this beautiful family.
Let’s come together as a community to keep Naomi’s memory alive and send love to her daughters during this difficult time.

Con el corazón pesado, comparto la triste noticia de que Naomi Casavant, ex Gerente de Negocios de CVA K-8, falleció pacíficamente el viernes 24 de enero en su nuevo hogar en Carolina del Norte. Se mudó allí el pasado verano con sus dos hermosas hijas para comenzar un nuevo y grandioso capítulo en sus vidas.
El viaje de Naomi con CVA K-8 comenzó como madre de sus dos hijas, y luego se unió a nuestra familia escolar como recepcionista en la oficina principal en 2020. En el otoño de 2021, fue ascendida al cargo de Gerente de Negocios, donde continuó dejando un impacto extraordinario en todos los que la rodeaban.
Naomi fue verdaderamente una de las personas más notables que he tenido el privilegio de conocer. Su amabilidad, generosidad y calidez se reflejaban en todo lo que hacía. Tenía un espíritu genuino que brillaba en la forma en que trataba a todos los que conocía, ofreciendo apoyo, comprensión y un sentido de consuelo, incluso en los momentos más difíciles. Su capacidad para empatizar con los demás, hacerlos sentir escuchados, vistos y valorados, era un regalo raro que tocó las vidas de muchos.
Naomi tenía una manera increíble de elevar a los demás, siempre poniendo las necesidades de los que la rodeaban antes que las suyas propias. Mostraba amor y cuidado sin dudarlo, y su compasión no era solo un rasgo: era parte de su esencia misma. Naomi enfrentó los desafíos de la vida con una fuerza, resiliencia, determinación y gracia incomparables. Sin embargo, lo que verdaderamente la distinguía era su corazón. Tenía una habilidad extraordinaria para hacer del mundo un lugar mejor simplemente siendo ella misma.
En todos los sentidos, Naomi fue un alma rara y hermosa. El mundo es un lugar mejor por haberla tenido en él, y estoy increíblemente agradecido de haberla conocido.
Como comunidad escolar, todavía estamos en el proceso de averiguar la mejor manera de apoyar a la familia de Naomi durante este difícil momento. Compartiremos más detalles pronto, pero mientras tanto, varios de nuestros estudiantes de secundaria han expresado su deseo de enviar algo de amor y consuelo a las dos hijas de Naomi a través de paquetes de cuidado.
Estamos creando un Fondo Educativo que las niñas podrán utilizar en algún momento de su futuro para ayudarlas a dar un paso financiero importante en las decisiones de VIDA que se les pedirá tomar. Estamos aceptando donaciones para este fondo para mostrar nuestro amor y apoyo a Naomi y sus niñas.
Por favor, envíen cualquier donación monetaria a:

También estamos aceptando donaciones a través de Venmo en:

Varios de nuestros estudiantes de secundaria (amigos de las niñas) han expresado su deseo de enviar algo de amor y consuelo a través de paquetes de cuidado.
Comenzaremos con un paquete de autocuidado lleno de artículos como diarios, cuadernos de dibujo, calcetines y mantas suaves, maquillaje, esmalte de uñas, productos femeninos, mascarillas faciales, lociones, velas y más. Los amigos de Naomi también han tomado el tiempo de investigar tiendas locales y restaurantes donde las niñas puedan comprar, por lo que esperamos incluir tarjetas de regalo para lugares como Walmart (a Annabelle le encanta hornear), Dollar General, Food Lion, Dunkin Donuts y AMC Theatres. Nuestro objetivo es enviarlo para el viernes 7 de febrero.
Siéntase libre de dejar cualquier donación en la recepción y/o enviarla con sus hijos.
Planeamos seguir enviando paquetes de cuidado durante el resto del año escolar y compartiremos más información sobre otras maneras en que podemos honrar y apoyar a esta hermosa familia.
Unámonos como comunidad para mantener viva la memoria de Naomi y enviar amor a sus hijas durante este momento tan difícil.
