Parent/Guardian NEWSLETTER
Good afternoon! I hope that everyone is excited about the upcoming week. Tomorrow morning progress reports will be available through parent portal. If you have questions regarding your student(s)' grades do not hesitate to contact the teachers. On Thursday, I will meet with the Senior Top 10% students to discuss a Education Foundation banquet. Also, the couselors will be in government and economics classes on Monday and Tuesday to assist seniors with the FAFSA graduation requirement.
Attendance Information: If your student has been out sick, or they will miss for another reason please contact Ms. Ema Moes,CSHS Attendance Clerk. Students can have up to four parent notes per semester. One absence = one parent note. I need your help with attendance as our campus attendance for this school year is well below where it has been historically.
Dr. Notes: As we get further into our year, I need parents and guardians help in ensuring that our students turn in Dr. notes when they have Dr. appointments. If a student goes to an appointment and comes back the same day, or their appointment is at the end of a day, they can supply a Dr.’s note so the absence is excused. Dr. notes can be emailed to Ms. Moes or faxed to 254-836-1418.
Counselor Information: The counselors will be in the regular govt/econ classes this Monday and Tuesday for those who need help with creating their FSAids to complete the FAFSA application. If, by chance, you and your parents have already completed this form please forward your "Congratulations" email to your counselor! This way we can check off that you've met this graduation requirement!
