CAIHS Monday Morning Message
November 13, 2023
Mr. Maloney's Announcement's
A few quick and important announcements.
1. Students are not permitted to wear hoods or hats in school. We are starting to see a trend that when a student has the hood up and they are asked to take it down they are sometimes not complying with staff or starting to argue. This can't happen because it causes conflict and not to mention it is disrespectful to staff. Please remind your students of the rule and how they should treat staff and their fellow students.
2. Earbuds, tablets, and blankets are also not permitted and they should not have them on them in school.

About Our Cause
Please join us in making a difference! We are raising money to benefit our music programs and any purchase you make will help make an impact. Examples of CPMC’s support to the music programs include—payment of instructor salaries, instrument and equipment purchases and repairs, purchasing props, music, truck rentals, food to feed the students at competitions, competition fees, cleaning uniforms, maintenance of “Big Red” the trailer that transports all of the band equipment, Drum Major Camp scholarships, and our CPMC Scholarship given to a graduating student planning to major in music in college. We want to give our students an opportunity to do these extracurricular activities like Marching Band, Indoor Guard, Indoor Drumline, Meistersingers and Orchestra without worry if we can. In a financial climate where school boards are cutting music programs across the country it is essential that we continue our hard work to ensure that the Red Raider Marching Band, Steel Spirit of Coatesville, Steel Thunder Drumline, Orchestra and Meistersingers can continue their award-winning traditions. In closing we would like to express that these are just a few of the things we have been able to do, and all the money raised goes to the students in some way, shape, or form. Thank you so very much from all of us involved, for your time and donation, it means so much to our group. http://cpmc.fpfundraising.com/

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.
