CAIHS Tuesday Morning Message
November 7, 2023
Mr. Maloney's Announcement's
A few quick and important announcements.
1. I am asking that all families check their student belongings before coming to school. We have noticed that students are obtaining vapes from either local stores or older people purchasing them for them. The students do not realize the health hazards and they are starting a habit that is difficult to break. Plus they are illegal for students to have and they are not permitted in school or on school grounds. We have to attack this problem from all angles before it becomes to late.
3. As a reminder students are not permitted to wear blankets in school. If a student is cold we recommend that they wear layers of clothing and they can adjust based on comfort. Generally all rooms are kept at 72 degress.

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.

Parents - Please Update your Child's Information!
The District will continue to utilize PowerSchool Enrollment to manage our online Student Information Update process. This system is a secure and streamlined process which allows the District to verify all student demographic, emergency, and medical information. The system will also allow families to electronically sign annual permission forms.
An email was sent on August 15th to the first parent/guardian listed for each current student in grades 1-12 who attended Coatesville Area School District last year and are returning for the 2022-2023 school year. This email notification will include your student’s snapcode and a snapcode link, which will take you directly to your child’s online registration.
