August 19, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Dear CCS Families and Community Members,

I hope that you had a restful, healthy, and safe Summer Break. We are planning a full return of in-person learning on August 23rd; the school building opens at 7 am, and classes resume at 7:30 am, with dismissal at 2:30 pm. Attendance facts - Student attendance is highly important and by attending classes regularly, your child is more likely to keep up with daily lessons and assignments and take quizzes and tests on time. Here are a few ways to keep your child in the game of continuous learning.

The importance of parental involvement in a child’s life during the teen years is undeniable. While adolescents want independence and time with friends, they continue to depend on the care and guidance of their parents and support from their school & community:

Assistant Principal Mrs. Nolicka Robinson

The transition from middle to high school can be a stressful time with many uncertainties. Taking time to get involved in your child's education can greatly influence his success in school and in life. When parents work together with their child to help her navigate the changes from middle to high school, the result is a confident teen ready to try new experiences, develop new friendships and set high expectations for success.

• Maintain strong relationships with your school educators and community members by getting involved with school activities and attending town halls and safety meetings. Then, reinforce that there are teams of adults in place who will do absolutely anything to protect your child should a tragic event happen.

A student is considered to be a habitual truant if he/she has UNEXCUSED ABSENCES that meet any of the following benchmarks:

*30 hours of consecutive unexcused absence This is approximately 5 days for a middle school or high school student.

*42 hours of unexcused absence in one month This is approximately 7 days for a middle school or high school student.

*72 hours of unexcused absence in one year This is approximately 11.5 days for a middle school or high school student.

If a student reaches the threshold for habitual truancy, the District is required to develop and implement an Absence Intervention Plan.

Parents/Guardians will be contacted to participate in the development of the Plan.

If a student fails to participate or make satisfactory progress with the intervention process or if the student continues to miss school, the district is required to make a complaint against the parent/guardian and/or the student with Job & Family Services and/or Juvenile Court.

School uniforms make getting ready for school more accessible, which can improve punctuality. Uniforms are NOT MANDATORY! All students are encouraged to dress in a manner that is appropriate, comfortable, and conducive to an active academic school day. South High School Spirit Wear is allowed, you can find SHS spirit gear at Family Dollars & CVS on Parsons Ave your community-supporting stores.

The items posted below are NOT ALLOWED!

• Make sure your child/ren has a refillable water bottle as these H20 stations are located throughout the building to keep our students hydrated.
• answer: Water transports oxygen to your brain, which allows it to communicate with the rest of the body. Even the slightest lack of hydration can reduce your concentration and cognitive skills, impairing your ability to think clearly and reach maximum performance.
