3rd Grade students will be taking the BOG3 on Thursday this week. This is a pre-assessment to help inform teachers of where students are regarding 3rd grade content. This is not a high stakes test and so there is no preparation for this assessment. Please see the attached letter for more details

Please take a few moments to review the district attendance presentation below. As a district we are launching an attendance campaign in order to combat chronic absenteeism. When students miss school it can have a negative impact on academics, social-emotional and behavior skill development.

Download the Bus App! CHCCS uses “Here Comes the Bus”, an app that enables you to see the location of your child’s school bus.

Here’s what to do:

• Look for “Here Comes the Bus” wherever you download your apps, or visit https://herecomesthebus.com/
• Use the District Code: 86446
• Enter your student's identification number. Refer to previous years’ report cards or other school documents. Or, you must contact your school.

• No bus tracking service is 100% accurate.
• Bus substitutions are sometimes made. This can affect the accuracy of the Here Comes the Bus app.
• If you do not receive an app notification, do not assume the bus isn't coming. If in doubt, call the CHCCS Transportation office at (919) 942-5045.

Prestwick Road

Make sure that for arrival and especially the dismissal process you use Prestwick Road. This will allow space for our buses and the Fire Department to navigate traffic smoothly.

Carpool Numbers

Our flier and video below share more information about our dismissal process.

For afternoon dismissal, our school uses a number system. Families will keep their numbers for the entire time they stay at Glenwood. When new siblings join our community you will simply communicate this to our staff and they will be added to our database. Likewise, if you regularly carpool with a family on a consistent basis, you may include other students. It is essential to ensure you share the number with guardians who may pick up your student as this will help maintain the traffic flow.

Our staff will assist the first few weeks of school with distributing numbers as needed.
