CFHS Charge Up!
November 12, 2023
A MESSAGE FROM BRIAN FORSHEE, CFHS PRINCIPAL
Congratulations CFHS Volleyball! State Bound!!
Friday is going to be very, very, very busy- (Volleyball and Football)
It's the week before Thanksgiving break! Friday is an early release day, and HS students will be released at 12:25 pm that day. This means that time is flying by for the final six weeks of the first semester, and you cannot afford to fall behind. Falling behind will have serious consequences, such as affecting your exemptions, playing time for UIL sports and fine arts, and credits for graduation or moving to the next grade level. Therefore, it is important to stay on top of your work and not let anything slip through the cracks.
Please read through the exemptions requirements and dates. Please note that ALL students must be in attendance during exams. Students exempt from a final exam must still show up for that class period during the final exam time. If a student is exempt and does not show up on the day of the final, the student will lose their exemption and be required to take the exam.
GET TIGHT AND STAY RIGHT!
- Phones/airpods/headphones should not be visible in the HALLWAYS from 8:25-3:50 daily! This INCLUDES between classes. Put them in your backpack, or they will be taken up. There is no need to argue or get upset when that happens because you have been given plenty of time to learn this.
- We will continue dress code, ID, and phone sweeps the minute you walk in. Don't forget that hoodies must be down inside the building ALL day.
Congratulations and good luck to all Chargers this week:

Final Exam Information
Lamar CISD Exemption Policy Update
On September 5, the Lamar CISD Board of Trustees approved some important changes to our EIAA Local policy, which provides guidance regarding our final exam exemptions. These updates will go into effect on Monday, September 11, 2023.
Effective September 11, 2023, the following adjustments will be made to our final exam policy for 7th – 12th grade students:
Absence Criteria for Exam Exemptions:
To qualify for an exemption from final exams, a student shall have no more than three absences without a note from a medical professional or up to five absences with a note from a medical professional for at least two of those absences. This change reinforces the importance of regular attendance while allowing flexibility for genuine medical reasons.
Attendance Review Committee (ARC):
Parents and students may request the campus ARC (as specified in FEC Local) to review cases of students with more than five total absences. The committee will assess whether the student has valid reasons to be considered eligible for exam exemptions. Decisions made by the ARC are final and may not be appealed. We encourage students and parents to utilize this process if they believe their circumstances warrant a review.
Absent on Exam Day:
If a student fails to be present and sign in on the day of the exam, they will be marked absent and required to take the assessment at a later date, determined by the campus administration. Failure to take the assessment will result in a grade of zero for the final/semester exam.
Important Note: Absences accrued prior to September 11, 2023, will NOT count against earning exemptions. However, any absences prior to September 11, 2023, may count against compulsory attendance requirements per board Policy FEA (Legal) and FEC (Legal).
These changes to our final exam policy reflect our commitment to maintaining a fair and equitable academic environment while emphasizing the importance of regular attendance and accountability. We believe that these adjustments will promote academic success and encourage responsible attendance habits among our students.
