man cvs says:


  -Q Causes the command to be really quiet; the command will
     generate output only for serious problems.

  -q Causes the command to be somewhat  quiet;  informational
     messages,  such  as  reports of recursion through
     subdirectories, are suppressed.

You might also look at redirecting stderr to /dev/null

cvs status foo 2>/dev/null
