Bus Routes

Please send a note ahead of time if the child has changes for any bus route. When a child is not going to ride the bus, please tell the bus driver, or call the school early enough in the morning so the driver need to unnecessarily drive to your address. You may call HVCA after 6:45am.

School Bus Safety

Here are ten basic bus-safety rules to review with your child[ren] so they can learn to stay safe when riding to and from school, courtesy of the National PTA / En Espanol aqui (R), a not-for profit child advocacy organization.

  1. Be on time.
  2. Never run to or from the bus.
  3. Stand back from the curb.
  4. Don't push or shove.
  5. Stay in your seat.
  6. Don't yell or shout.
  7. Always obey the driver.
  8. Wait for the driver's signal before crossing.
  9. Always cross at least 10 feet in front of the bus.
  10. Never crawl under a school bus.

Smart Tuition

Payment books should be mailed out this week. The next payment is due by the 10th. Automatic payments may be late this month as we learn this new procedure.

If you have not signed and returned the Smart Tuition application, now is the time. It is required of all parents who have not paid for the year in advance.

Worthy Student Funds

There are many students who want to attend HVCA but cannot afford it financially. They need your help.

Please prayerfully consider sending a tax-deductible gift to the school.

Make your check payable to Huntingdon Valley Christian Academy, and mark it "Worthy Student Fund".

You will make a huge difference in a young person life. Contact HVCA for details.

How To Help Your Child
Succeed

Research shows these simple steps will make a huge difference in your child's attitude and performance:

  • Make sure they get plenty of sleep each night -- 8 to 10 hours. As their parent / guardian, you decide their bedtime.
  • Before they get on the school bus, eat a healthy breakfast with them:
    • whole grain cereal
    • fresh fruit [apple / banana / blueberries / pineapple, etc]
    • 100% juice.
  • Encourage them to do their best in every subject.
  • Ease their anxiety. Do not threaten or place undue pressure on them to score high.
  • Please be sure they come to school each day.
  • Grades 7 - 10: Check online for their assignments, and require them to show you every homework assignment before any TV, movies, video , or time with friends.

HVCA Uniforms

Please be sure that students are in proper uniform:
