TIME TO APPLY TO CJSF!
Are you an 8th grader who did well in school last semester? If so, listen up! The CJSF applications for the Fall semester are available in the Counseling Office. Our first meeting is Wednesday, September 5th in the library at 8:30 a.m. Come see the advisors if you have any questions! Don’t miss out!
STUDENTS MAKE SIERPINSKI TRIANGLES!
They are called fractals. Sierpinski Triangles are fractals, which Mrs. Peasha's & Ms. Berg's classes demonstrated in our courtyard! Fractals are structures in which similar patterns recur at progressively smaller scales. The concept of fractals are models in lightening bolts, snow flakes, broccoli and ferns. And now Bidwell, too!

THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A FREE LUNCH (AND BREAKFAST)!
GREAT NEWS! ALL enrolled students of Chico Junior High, Bidwell Junior High, Fairview High, CAL, AFC, Oakdale Elementary and Oakdale Secondary, Step Up Academy, Citrus, Chapman, Emma Wilson, Little Chico Creek, and McManus are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2018-19 school year. Your child (ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application. You only need to pay for extra items that are not included in the breakfast or lunch (such as cookies from the snack bar).

OFF CAMPUS PERMITS
Does your student have a doctor's appointment? They MUST pick up an off-campus permit from the attendance office before leaving! To do this, please do one of the following:
- Preferred method: Send your student to the attendance office with a note including their name, the reason for leaving, the time they need to leave class, and your name.
- Call the attendance office at 891-3080 x146.
- Send an email through our online absence reporting system.
PLEASE remember to leave enough time prior to the appointment for the office to reach your student. They could be in a class, like PE, which may delay them being ready to leave school.
PICTURE DAY IS COMING!
PICTURE DAY is this Thursday, August 23rd. If you are ordering photos, please be sure to have your envelope filled out and ready to hand to the Lifetouch staff during your PE class. Pictures can also be purchased online. All students must have their picture taken and will receive a free student identification card.
STUDENT REMINDER:
STARTING THE YEAR OFF WITH SMILES
There may have been some lost schedules, classroom confusion, and forgetting which lunch to go to, but overall the first week of school started swimmingly!
ATTENDANCE NOTES
Life happens! If your student is going to be absent for any reason, please do one of the following:
- Call the attendance office at 891-3080 x146
- Send a note with your student when they return to school
- Stop by the attendance desk in the main office
- Send an email through our online absence reporting system.
Please include your student's name, the date(s) of absence, the reason, and your name. Any illness absence of three or more days will require a doctor's note upon return.
