A Busy End to the Year

MS and HS  blogs are the same, so you only need to read one if you have children at both levels.

Due to predicted heavy rain on Friday, May 5, the Race for Education has been rescheduled for Tuesday, May 9.

For grades 8-11, we are in the process of scheduling classes for next year. I am scheduling students new to CCS, and Mr. Greenly is scheduling 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students.  If you would like to set up an appointment to discuss your child’s schedule or have questions, please contact us.

Below is information on final assessments. Grades 9-11 need to turn in permission slips to leave early on finals days. There is a link below to the form. Please get those forms to me by May 26.

• Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are expected to be in school all morning during end-of-the-year assessments unless they have permission from the administration not to attend or leave early.
• Students in grades 9-11 may leave after final assessments have ended each day (11:15 a.m.).  Students who do not have a way home will stay for the day and will have a supervised study hall. A permission slip to leave early was emailed to students.  See the link below for the early dismissal permission slip.
• During assessment periods, seniors only need to be on campus when they have assessments.  Seniors who are exempt from assessments or who do not have a scheduled assessment during an assessment period do not need to be on campus during that assessment.  They do, however, need to sign in and out as they come and go for their assessments.
• Seniors may be exempt from a final assessment in a class in which they have a cumulative average of 95% or higher.
