Cardinal Community Connection
Family Newsletter for November 2023
Principal's Message
11/01/2023
Greetings, Cardinal Families!
Happy November! It has been great seeing so many of our students on campus this month - whether it was for pictures, the Candy Crawl, or their weekly teacher meetings. These interactions help provide our students with a connection to school and give them a sense of pride in our Cardinal Family!
We are coming up to the last few months of the semester. Our students are busy working away on their classes and assignments. Students should be at about 60-70% progress in their classes at this time. The end of the semester is fast approaching, and we are encouraging our students to make sure they finish off the semester strong!
Attendance
Just another reminder that students should working on their curriculum 4-5 hours per day. Weekly attendance to their one on one teacher meetings is REQUIRED. This is the time when teachers are able to go over progress and goal setting for the week with your student - skills they will need to carry through adulthood. Because we are an independent study school, we do not have excused absences. To receive minimal daily attendance credit, students must be logged in (not idle) for a minimum of 30 minutes a day and submit one assignment. (However, they will need to do more than the minimum to finish classes and stay on track.)
Seniors!
It's that time! We are starting to prep for the end of the year and the future... Before you know it, graduation day will be here, and you will be walking the stage! Please attend the meeting on Thursday night for more information. The link is on the flyer at the bottom of this newsletter.
Our staff and students are doing great things here at our school. Let's continue to support them to move them forward. Thank you for entrusting us with your precious students.
Sincerely,
Annabelle Lee
