This week is going to be a busy week for the students. On Tuesday all students will have their Picture Day. Once they have their school ID they will be provided with a lanyard and they must have their ID on them at all times. This will also help with the students checking out during breakfast and lunch because it will have their barcode on the ID. Below is a direct link for pictures to fill our prior to Tuesday.

The teachers are getting into the curriculum so the students will start having more challenging classes daily and all homework assigned will be a review of what they were taught during that day and earlier in the week.

I also wanted to thank all families for being patient with busing and dismissal as our transportation department continues working out the kinks and as they are trying to obtain more drivers.

Staff Name and Position: Sharon Renshaw-9th grade biology

What was your favorite grade school subject? Art class

What college did you attend? West Chester University

If you were not a school employee what would you be doing instead of this profession? If I was not a teacher, I would definitely had become a hair stylist. My favorite thing to do is to constantly change the color and style of my hair. It would be so much fun to make other women feel good about themselves while styling them up!

Describe your immediate family. Joe-my husband (married in May 2002) Trent age 19 and attends Temple, Sawyer age 16 and attends Henderson High School, Duncan age 13 and attends Saint Agnes

What do you admire the most about your family? I love that my 3 boys, while different from one another with varying interests, are still very close to one another. I love my husband and boys passion for ALL things Philly sports! You can find them in front of the TV every sunday in fall.

Hello students, parents, and community members, and welcome to the Intermediate High School. One of the positive initiatives at the Intermediate High School is “Spotlight.” Spotlight is our school’s parent association. Spotlight is designed to connect families with our school. Being a member affords parents/guardians an opportunity to listen and voice concerns to administration, help plan for events, and foster a positive culture here at the school. According to Responsive Classroom, “…students whose parents are involved in their schooling are more likely to have higher grades and test scores, attend school regularly, have better social skills, show improved behavior, and adapt well to school.” Spotlight meetings are held in the school’s library on the last Thursday of the month. Families can attend in person or by the zoom link below. If you have any questions, please reach out to Dr. Alston. Our first meeting is on September 29, 2022. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Dr. Jamar Alston is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: Spotlight Meeting

Time: Sep 29, 2022 06:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

WIN (What I Need) Time is a 23-minute daily period embedded in the master schedule. WIN has been scheduled for 4th Period for all CAIHS students. WIN Time provides ALL students the opportunity to monitor and reflect upon their performance in the areas of attendance, behavior, and course performance (ABCs). WIN Time also provides students the opportunity to receive the needed supports and services, meet important school related milestones, and remain on-track for graduation based on statewide requirements.

During WIN Time, students will set SMART goals for yearly performance in a Google form to review and monitor with WIN teachers. Students will formally monitor their progress toward goals and discuss ways to improve performance with their WIN teachers.

Below you can open and download a quick PowerPoint Presentation about MTSS and WIN.

Below you will see the directions on how to drop off students and pick up students from the Intermediate High School. In addition, we have added a short video to assist with this procedure.

Students will be dismissed at 2:10 p.m. and they will board their buses. If picking up students , please drive safely.

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.

Good Evening Coatesville Families,

As we approach the upcoming game schedule for our fall teams, please read the important information below regarding our transition from cash sales to digital ticketing. Our first home football game on Friday, August 26 will be our only event this school year in which we will be offering a LIMITED cash sale at the gate for tickets. By making this transition to digital ticketing, will we be aligning with the same procedures for ticket purchasing as used in the District One Playoffs and the PIAA State Championship Tournaments. Digital ticketing also allows for our fans to enter without waiting as long at the gate to purchase tickets and adds another layer of security at our events.

I will be sure to communicate additional information about our upcoming events but have also included our clear bag policy as well as K-7 reminder (must remain with an adult at ALL TIMES) and student created expectations. Thank you and look forward to a successful upcoming fall season!

Please go on to the school website and click on the banner for Athletics and you will see the games listed and the button for purchases tickets. I have attached a screenshot below for demonstration purposes.

Sincerely,

Mr. Chenger

Director of Athletics, Activities and Compliance
