Obligation List and Immunizations Records
Students who are on the obligation list and/or not having the proper immunization records will be notified today. For students who do not have the proper immunization records, he/she will be excluded from school per CASD board policy 203.
Policy 203 includes "State regulations require that any student who has not completed the full series of required immunizations and has not been exempted from immunization for medical or religious reasons will not be permitted to attend District schools." Those students who owe any immunization records have been notified twice with messages coming from CASH School Nurse on August 16 and August 28. Another will be sent today and students will be excluded beginning tomorrow, Tuesday September 17.
Attendance Update and Goals
The first three weeks of school have been great with the overall attendance rate at the 90% rate. Students were educated in class meetings of the importance of being present between 90-100% of the school year - which equates to 162-180 days in school. According to statistics, The most recent federal data show that in the 2020-21 school year, at least 14.7 million students nationwide were chronically absent. This means that chronic absence has almost doubled from the more than 8 million students, pre-Covid-19, who were missing so many days of school that they were academically at risk. Chronic absence — missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absence for any reason—excused, unexcused absences and suspensions—can translate into students having difficulty learning to read by the third-grade, achieving in middle school, and graduating from high school. (Attendanceworks.org).
Please keep encouraging your child to come to school everyday and every class on time! If there is a need for an absence or early dismissal, please contact our attendance office at cashattendance@casdschools.org.
Technology Insurance Fee Information (Updates for 2024-2025, including refund info)
As we continue to embrace technology as an integral part of our educational environment, we want to ensure that your child’s school-issued device is well-protected. To this end, in leu of our previous TIF, we are offering optional insurance coverage for these devices to help mitigate any potential costs associated with accidental damage, loss, or theft, outside of any warranty covered repairs.
Why Device Insurance?
School-issued devices are an important tool for learning, and while we strive to take great care of them, accidents can happen. Device insurance provides peace of mind and financial protection by covering repair or replacement costs due to unforeseen circumstances.
What computer insurance covers
A stand-alone computer insurance policy through Progressive includes coverage for perils (laptop theft, vandalism, fire damage, and more) and unexpected accidents such as:
- Water damage (including liquid spills and submersion)
- Damage from dropping or stepping on your laptop
- Power surges due to lightning
What laptop insurance doesn't cover
Laptop insurance doesn't cover everything. Some exclusions are:
- Computer viruses
- Wear and tear or corrosion
- Software issues
- Blatant neglect
All policies and claims are the sole ownership of the Parents and Guardians.
Complete details and common questions can be found at the following link: https://www.progressive.com/electronic-device-insurance/computer-laptop-insurance/
Lastly, for anyone that has already paid a TIF for the 2024-2025 school year, the district will be issuing those families a full refund.
