Coyote Update
Chandler Early College High School Vol 2 Issue 1
Scaringelli's Segment
Welcome back Coyotes! I hope that you had a fun and relaxing summer! This summer my family went to see ballparks # 22 & 23/30 (KC Royals and St. Louis Cardinals) and got to swim in the Ozarks.
At CEC our summer has been quite busy updating our whole building and I cannot wait for you to see it on July 19th. The front office and classrooms all received new furniture, fresh paint, deep-cleaned carpets and our IFP's (Interactive Flat Panels). Exciting things are taking place at CEC for the upcoming school year.
Please make sure to read through this newsletter as there is a lot of information to be shared with you before school starts. Once again, welcome back, we cannot wait to see you and hear about your summer activities.

Excused Absences
- A parent or legal guardian is asked to call the attendance office within 24 hours of the absence to officially excuse students from school or particular periods of classes during the day. Please call our attendance line at 480.224.3067.
- Students arriving late or leaving early must sign in/out at the front office and have a parent or legal guardian call the front desk to excuse at 480.224.3060.
- No student will be permitted to leave campus without parent verification.
- Students are responsible for making arrangements to make up time missed, as that impacts student progress here at CEC more than any other factor. Please make sure to check Google classroom.
Unexcused Absences are considered truancies. the parent is notified whenever a student is absent. Work cannot be made-up for credit on unexcused absences.
Tardy to Class
- Students are expected to be seated in their classrooms ready to begin class work at the start of each period and immediately after all breaks and lunch.
- A tardy is defined as "not being in an assigned seat at the minute".
- Student's who have habitual tardies may be dropped from their class. If tardies are in first hour, student's schedules may be changed to add to a class later in the day.
- If your child is tardy, please call the front office to excuse them.

College Classes at CGCC
If you are planning on taking college courses in the fall and have met with me, please make sure that you have registered for your class. We have received an email from our college liaison that 5 of you have not registered for classes and 2 have not started the admission process. Classes tend to fill up quickly and we want to make sure that you can get the days and times that fit into your schedule. Make sure to look at prerequisites before registering for a course. It is important that you take your ED Ready test so you can be approved to start in the fall. Please contact me if you have any questions or need any help.

Infinite Campus Parent/Student Login
Starting July 7th, parents should log into their Infinite Campus account and update their annual student registration. You will find this option in the left index under "More". Updating this annually is extremely important so we have current information on your household. This is also where you can agree or disagree for publicity, internet access and most importantly providing your child with Tylenol should they become ill. Please DO NOT start a New Student registration.
Under "More" you will also need to update the Student Device Agreement. This is currently available for you to complete and must be done on a laptop or PC. Do not use your mobile device to complete this agreement.
Lastly, every year it is highly recommended for you to purchase the $25.00 Device Protection Plan. The fee will appear in Infinite Campus on July 19th and must be paid by September 1st. This can also be found under "More" in InTouch Fee Payments.
