Leader in Me: Habit #1
In Habit 1: Be Proactive, students learn they are responsible for their actions, emotions, attitudes, and behaviors. Students recognize how making proactive choices shows the vital leadership skill of responsibility.
Think About...
- What's the impact of using proactive language?
- How much time & energy do you spend on things you cannot control?
- Who has been a Transition Person for you personally?
- How could you respond proactively in highly charged situations?
Practice...
- Consciously use these sentence starters: "I can...", "I choose to...", & "I get to..."
- Make a list of everything you can do within your Circle of Influence
- Forgive those who passed on negative behaviors to you & don't hold grudges

Attendance for CUSD Distance Learning
Starting the school year in a virtual instructional model will require students to be academically engaged on a daily basis. Regular class attendance is essential for success in school. As required by state law, student attendance must be taken every day. Students will be marked present if they have been academically engaged in class that day.
Academic engagement can include, but is not limited to:
- Attempted and completed assignments
- Participation in Google Meets live instruction
- Documented access of pre-recorded instructional videos
- Email, phone or other communication with the teacher constituting virtual instruction
- Minutes logged on online learning platforms such as BUZZ, Google Classroom or other online applications
Students will be marked absent if they have not demonstrated academic engagement for the day. Parents/guardians will receive a phone call to notify them of the absence. PreK - 6th grade teachers will be reporting attendance by 11 a.m every day.
In the event that a student is marked absent but did engage in class instruction after attendance was reported, the student's attendance will be adjusted the next school day and he/she will be marked present.
