Other events are happening this month as well! Be sure to check out the information below in the "Month at a Glance" section of the newsletter!
Lost and Found
Parents, please encourage your scholars to check the Lost and Found by the front office for lost items. Please also check their items upon their return home to ensure that the items that they bring home are in fact theirs. Oftentimes, parents will label their scholar's clothing and personal items with their names. This makes it easily identifiable. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter!

PTSO Pizza Friday!
Our PTSO is collecting money every Wednesday morning between 7:30-9:00 am for Pizza Delivery on Fridays! No payments will be accepted after Wednesday at 9:00. Thank you!
Excused Absences and Attendance
Here at CIS every day counts and attendance matters. Our Attendance Team will be closely monitoring and tracking attendance. All NC approved absences must reported and documents uploaded through this system.
Please direct parents to use this form to enter in excuses for absences.
If students come to your classroom with a tardy note, they have already been marked tardy. If they come to you tardy without a tardy note, you will either have to change their attendance record to reflect the tardy or send them back down to the front desk to be marked tardy and get a tardy note.
Thank you!
The Counselor's Corner
"Parenting is one of the hardest jobs, and yet most rewarding. Not only do kids go through anger at times, parents do too. Here is a Podcast that may help us learn how to manage anger." --From Your CIS Counselors--Dr. Ivana Stoilovich & Dr. Montse Casado
