CB West High School

This past Wednesday, West celebrated our Seniors’ academic achievements at our Daytime Department Awards. Certificates were distributed at a luncheon in their honor in our library. Congratulations to all of our winners!

Please join the Parent Council of CB West as we show appreciation to our teachers and staff for all their hard work and support this year. We will host our annual Staff Appreciation Lunch on Tuesday, June 4th. Boxed lunches and dessert will be provided for all teachers and staff which consists of over 180 people. Please visit the SignUpGenius link to make a contribution.

We are in need of more donations in order to reach our goal of providing a boxed lunch to every staff member; any amount is not too small, and appreciated.

SENIORS:

Stop in the Student Services Office to design and display a pennant for the decision you have made for next year! There are (small) pennant triangles to decorate with the choice of college or trade that you have chosen for next year. We would love to see “the places you will go”!

So, join your classmates and the student counseling department in celebrating all the arduous work you have done to get where you are going. Hope to see you soon!

MBIT Students

Students who have submitted an application to a new/different program at MBIT should have received a decision by this time. These students must confirm their acceptance by 5/31/24. Any inquiries about application decisions should be sent to Applications@mbit.org.

This upcoming year, Central Bucks will be using a new senior photographer, CADY. The process for getting your senior portraits taken will be slightly different than in years past. In order for your child to be in the yearbook, their portrait must be taken with CADY. This will be a very busy year for the students, so ideally, you'll book your CADY session this summer. Appointments will be made on the CADY website and students will go to their studio located in Horsham. CADY specializes in senior portraits with several different session options to fit every need. Their state-of-the-art studios have endless scene options, changing rooms, and a professional staff. Their weekend schedules fill up fast, so book early to secure your spot! Get your photos for your family, grad announcements, and the yearbook pose.

Visit cady.com/schedule

CADY's state-of-the-art studio is located at 300 Welsh Road, Building 2, Suite 106, Horsham, Pa 19044.

If you are planning only to have a yearbook photo taken, you must go through the process of booking a session and choosing backdrops in order to get to the $0 fee yearbook session option.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call CADY directly at 678-722-3449.

Student obligations (i.e. fees owed from lost or damaged textbooks, library books, athletic uniforms, etc.) are reflected in the Parent Portal. Parents and students will be able to see any fees and obligations owed in the “Fees” tab of the portal. Check the portal often for any updates to the student's account. Obligations are due now!

Unfulfilled obligations may result in the loss of certain privileges such as student parking and the ability to purchase prom tickets.

* 10th grade students will now see '11th Grade Physical' listed as an obligation. This is not due until the end of the student's 11th grade year but can be turned in now to count towards this requirement. Click here for details regarding physical exams: 11th Grade Physical.

Laptop Breakage

We have seen a rise in the amount of screen breaks for student laptops. Our policy covers for 2 broken screens per device. If your child’s laptop screen breaks 3 times, we will be required to send you an invoice for the repair and labor. The current cost for this is $200. Please remind your child to care for their laptops. Some simple steps to assist are:

• Use two hands when holding or moving the device.
• Use clean hands while using the laptop or iPad.
• Use only the provided digital pen or finger on the screen.
• Use only the power adapter that came with the device.
• Use a microfiber cloth to clean the screen.
• Keep device stored in the provided case. This includes traveling through the hallways, on buses, or anytime the device is not being utilized.
• Make sure nothing is on the keyboard, close the lid, and remove all cables if any are plugged into the laptop. Place laptop in your bag carefully.
• Be careful when placing your case on the floor. Keep the device off the floor so screens do not get stepped on by others.

Our goal each day is make sure that all students, faculty, buses, and drivers exit our school campus safely. To ensure that safety, we are requesting that you please reinforce safe driving habits with your student driver. There have been several vehicle accidents that may have been prevented through safer driving practices.

• Drivers should maintain a speed of 15 MPH or less while driving on MacFarlane and in the school zone area.
• Drivers are to stop for pedestrians entering the crossing areas.
• Drivers are not to change lanes on MacFarlane
• Drivers should not be using electronic devices while driving.
• Drivers/Students should not be yelling from one vehicle to the next or getting out of one vehicle to get in another.
• Please try to limit the number of passengers in the car with your student. This will assist in being more attentive while driving.

Thank you for your assistance !

* ANYTIME you come or go from CB West during the school day you MUST check in with attendance.

• ANYTIME you leave school for early dismissal we MUST hear from a PARENT or GUARDIAN via phone or the portal.
• PARENTS or GUARDIANS can put early dismissals, late arrivals, absences, and vacation time in the portal.
• Absences and tardies can be excused for valid reasons with a note, a phone call, or through the portal by PARENTS or GUARDIANS ONLY.
• PARENTS or GUARDIANS have three days to excuse absences or tardies. (Exceptions may be made)
• Students are NOT PERMITTED to leave for lunch during Lunch & Learn.
