CAIHS Monday Morning Message
January 8, 2024
Message from Mr. Maloney
Good Morning CAIHS Families,
A few quick reminders as we enter the second half of the school year that will make it go smoothly for our students.
1. The students are not permitted to have their cell phones out it class. This causes a major distraction for the students and it does not allow for the students to concentrate on the instruction going on in class. They should be placing their phones in the cell phone locker.
2. Students also do not need headphone or earbuds at all in school. They should not have the on or in their ears.
3. Mid-terms and upcoming mid-year assessments are starting this week and will run until the first week of February. These assessments will provide us with data that will allow us to track their progress and how they will do for the upcoming PSSA and Keystone Exams. It is extremely important that they give their best effort to get a true gauge of were they are currently at.

ATTENDANCE
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.
