On November 10th we will hold picture retake day. I have attached the link for additional information. Picture Retake Day

The majority of students have received their School ID's. We are requiring the students to wear them each and everyday and for them to be visible. We have provided lynards to each student so they can be worn around their neck. This will allow for us to identify the students as they move around the school. It also speeds up the lunch line as they are able to scan the ID's and move quickly through the line. Starting tomorrow we will have the students who have their ID's on to go through the lunch line first. We are also in the process of printing new ID cards so that we can identify by color what students should be in lunch. If your student does not have an ID card we are in the process of setting up the ID card maker.

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.

Parents/Guardians,

As a reminder students are not permitted to have their electronic devices during the school day. This includes phones, earbuds, and headphones. They should not have them out and they should not be in their ears.

Second, it is not the administration's responsibility to track down lost or stolen electronic devices. We will assist when we can but it cannot take up the full day or hour trying to search for phones or headphones. Please have your students secure their electronic devices in their bookbags or lockers.

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.

Intermediate Shout Out (google.com)

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.
