Adopt-a-Coatesville Teacher

This community-led program was created four years ago, in an effort to support the teachers and staff here at Coatesville Area School District. The purpose is to be an extra encouragement to those individuals we adopt as well as inspire the community to be more involved within our schools.

To foster and help with creating a positive school climate and culture, we have created the “Intermediate Shout Out.” This initiative is based on students, faculty, parents/guardians to publicly acknowledge over the Pa system for good works done here at the school, which relate to PBIS. All one has to do is fill out the google form website, provide your name, the person who you are shouting, and the reason for the shout out.

As the 2022-2023 school year is now here, there have been recent updates regarding the school district’s policies on attendance and retention. The full policies are on the CASD’s website’s tab, “School Board.” Here are some notable parts of the policies:

• If a student misses 18 days of school and/or 9 days in a semester, and/or misses the same class 18 times, and/or is habitually late to school, he/she will be required to have a School Attendance Improvement Plan (SAIP) meeting. From the meeting, the team will discuss the student’s attendance and make a potential recommendation for retention or being held back.

• In order to receive credit, a student must attend 90% of his/her class days.

• If a student misses more than 10 lawful or unlawful absences, requires an excuse from a licensed practitioner of the healing arts or medical doctor.

• A student can be retained for failing to show academic achievement for promotion.

• Retention or being held back shall only be considered for the worst-case scenarios and parents/guardians will be notified and a part of the process.

CAIHS families, should you have any questions, please reach out to CAIHS’s administration.
