Attendance Reminders
Here are a few quick reminders/tips to keep in mind related to attendance:
Max Absences: A student can not be excused by a parent from school for more than 10 absences/semester.
Medical Note: Medical appointments do not count against the 10 parental excused absences if proper documentation is provided; we recommend asking the medical facility for an appointment card verifying the absence (date/time) and returning it to the WMS office. We encourage parents to consider after-school appointment times, if possible, as even excused absences can cause students to fall behind in class.
Tardies: Late arrivals (7:31 a.m.- 7:45 a.m.) without a parental excuse are considered tardy. Repeat tardies have consequences.

CHS Field Turf
Hello Community Members and Cedarburg High School Alumni,
Recently a group of alumni convened to explore the idea of adding field turf to our stadium. There was enough initial interest, that this small group of alumnus, have now established a field turf advisory team. The team, consisting of alumni and booster club representatives, is making great progress in organizing a giving campaign. The goal of the campaign is to raise $850,000. If this goal is achieved, Bulldogs will play on turf for the 2019 fall sports season on Alumni Field inside Cedarburg Stadium. For this goal to become a reality, we need your assistance in soliciting interest to support this campaign through a monetary donation.
The formula for a successful capital campaign includes contributions from local businesses, families of future, current and past users and other philanthropic individuals. Cedarburg has never shied away from a challenge. Our great success is due to the tremendous support from our community. To bring this goal to fruition, it will truly require a team effort. By creating the conditions for contagious contributions to be made, raising $850,000 by March 2019 is an attainable goal.
Please review the attached document and consider making a pledge to the campaign before March 2019. We are relying on your generosity to bring turf to Alumni Field. The turf will bring the stadium to life with so many more activities.
You can make your contributions on the Cedarburg Athletic Booster Club website, www.chsabc.com. Thank you for your consideration.
Field Turf Advisory Team,
Chris Haasch, Deb, Pokel, Kevin Nelson, Rick Buser, Tracy Tenpenny, Caryn Esten, Randy Groth
