Cabarrus County Schools Virtual AcademyThe Hive - Parent and Student Newsletter - March 29, 2026

Dear Cabarrus Virtual Families,        


Students will be out of school on Friday, April 3 and Monday, April 6.  Your student should work ahead this week in NCVPS classes so they can enjoy this break without worrying over school work.  

I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend.

On April 8th, 7th, 11th and 12th graders have the opportunity to attend C4 Day.  Please see the information below  if you are interested in attending.

Calling all juniors and seniors - do you still have questions about what happens after graduation?  Are you still trying to figure out a career that suits you best?  If so, you are invited to the Cabarrus County Career Connections (C4) Day on Wednesday, April 8th at the Cabarrus Arena.  C4 Day is a career fair for Cabarrus County and Kannapolis City School juniors and seniors where businesses will share career opportunities available after graduation.  This is a great opportunity to learn about jobs, internships and apprenticeships offered right here in Cabarrus County.  Students may self-transport to and from the Arena. Please complete this short survey so we can reserve your spot.  If you have any questions, please email kristi.parlier@cabarrus.k12.nc.us. 


The word "Seniors" is written in a stylish, cursive font in black on a white background.Did you earn a scholarship for college?  Please let Mrs Rubbino know which school awarded the scholarship and the amount.  We want to recognize you!

The CVA senior walk will be held at Winkler Middle on April 17th.  Meet at CVA in your cap and gown at 8:45 am.

Are you interested in speaking at graduation?  If so, submit a speech to Ms. Brooks at cheryl.brooks@cabarrus.k12.nc.us by April 3th.  She will help you revise and edit your speech.  During the week of April 13th, you will be invited to CVA to present your speech to a small panel.  Students will be selected to present based on the content and presentation of the speech.

Testing image
This spring students will take the EOC exams for Math I, Math III, Biology and English II. Middle schoolers will take the EOGs in Math and Reading and 8th graders will also test Science.  All students are well prepared and should do great!  

If a student is not proficient, they will need to retest.  The county will begin sending the retesting form through Parent Square in mid April.  Please sign the form when you first receive the message as the form will continue being sent until all students have a response.

As a reminder, CVA enrollment stipulates that students will take all required state tests.

Counselor's Corner with Mrs. Rubbino
Rising 8th Grade Students & Families,
We are excited to offer a great opportunity for our rising 8th grade students! Students now have the chance to earn a high school credit while still in middle school by enrolling in either Spanish 1 or Computer Science I.
Course Description: Computer Science
This introductory course is designed to familiarize students with the core concepts and thinking practices of computing, computer science, and information science. Students will explore computing through engaging, hands-on projects using visual and interactive programming languages.
The course emphasizes the “big ideas” of computer science in creative and meaningful ways, focusing on conceptual understanding and problem-solving rather than programming alone. Key topics include:
  • Computing as a creative activity
  • Abstraction
  • Algorithms and problem-solving
  • The Internet
  • The global impact of computing
Students will also develop skills in communication, creativity, and critical thinking, while exploring how computing influences the way we think, communicate, work, and play.
Important Note:
This is a high school-level course and will reflect the rigor and expectations of high school coursework.
Course Description: Spanish 1
Spanish I teaches the student to read and write simple Spanish. The student learns to ask and to answer simple questions concerning various aspects of daily life. The student is encouraged to appreciate Hispanic cultures.
Important Note:
This is a high school-level course and will reflect the rigor and expectations of high school coursework.
