Chromebook Swap Out
Over the next few weeks we will be replacing Senior, Junior, and Sophomore Chromebooks/Chargers with updated models. Freshmen received the new devices at Comet Academy or the beginning of the school year. In order to complete this in an organized manner and not disrupt classrooms, students will have the opportunity to replace their devices during lunch periods following the schedule below:
- Seniors: September 3 - 5
- Juniors: September 10 - 12
- Sophomores: September 17 - 19
Students will be called from the cafe during lunch periods to exchange devices over their assigned three days. Students should plan on bringing their device and charger to lunch on their scheduled days.
Students that do not exchange their device during their scheduled window will be able to do so after September 19.
Picture Make Up Day:
Due to some technical difficulties during picture make up day today, our photographer will be returning on Monday, September 16 during lunch periods for another school picture make up day.
#BePresent this September: Attendance Awareness Month
This September, the South-Western City Schools District (SWCSD) reminds students and families of the importance of #BePresent with Attendance Awareness Month. Attendance Awareness Month is a nationwide recognition of the connection between regular school attendance and academic achievement. Research shows that when students are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of the school year or 18 days over an entire year), they are less likely to read proficiently by third grade, achieve in middle school, and graduate from high school. Missing just two days a month places a student at risk of becoming chronically absent.
This month highlights the importance of mobilizing schools, families and community partners to promote regular attendance by developing tiered strategies and personalized interventions to reduce chronic absence. Every September serves as a reminder for all stakeholders to partner together to identify and remove barriers to daily school attendance so each student can thrive in the classroom.

Start of School Year Reminders
Morning Traffic Pattern: When dropping off at the beginning of the day, please do not use the front parking lot as a drop off location. Doing so increases the pedestrian traffic across a busy drive and causes congestion for visitors and staff in the front parking lot. Only use the right lane of the front drive for dropping off students. We appreciate your attention to this matter to help increase the safety for our students. In an effort to make sure drivers do not cut through the front parking lot in the morning, barriers will close the exit closest to the flag pole during the morning.
Morning Traffic Pattern - Front of School
Student Drop-Off: Student drop off is in the front of the building. Students arriving before 7:40 will be waiting in the Main Gym or the cafe for breakfast.
Chromebooks: Students are expected to bring their fully charged chromebook everyday.
Adult Identification: When picking up a student from school during the school day, please be prepared to provide a picture ID at the Front Desk or Attendance Office.
Comet Theatre Department
Auditions for our fall show "Clue" will be held the week of Sept. 23rd. We would love to see your bright star shining of the Comet Stage!!!
