Q4 Attendance Challenge : Winner Announcement Coming
ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
School Starts at 9AM
As a reminder CCHS is set up for students to learn and complete work during their class time, eliminating homework as an obstacle to the learning process. The only way this works is if students are here. Please review our attendance policy. If you have individual situations that you need to discuss regarding attendance please reach out.
Attendance Policy
MORE THAN 6 NON DOCUMENTED ABSENCES IN ONE QUARTER MAY RESULT IN A STUDENT BEING PAUSED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE QUARTER WHICH WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF CREDIT
The number of minutes for tardies will be tracked by teachers and may count as a day of absence. For every 60 minutes tardy in a class one day of absence will be recorded
Documentation will be required in order for the absence to be considered documented.
Documentation means submitting paperwork to confirm the reason for the absence.
Absence Reasons that May be Documented Include:
Personal/Family Emergencies
Medical Appointments
Religious Holidays
Funerals
Legal Appearances
Absences for unauthorized reasons or ones that are undocumented will be counted towards the 6 limit.
For any school time missed students should plan to stay in the afternoon(s) when you return in order to catch up on the work you missed
Staying in the afternoon for academic probation, assigned by the teacher, may offset absence counts at teachers discretion
If you do not start the quarter on time, it will be an expectation that you stay in the afternoon(s) for the number of days you start late
Any student who enters/leaves the school building without properly signing in/out will not be able to have the absence documented and may be assigned disciplinary consequences.

Sponsored by the TRAILS Program
Every Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8:30-9:00 coffee, fresh baked cookies and hot cocoa is being sold by the TRAILS students for $1 each. When supplies last they may also offer the items during passing time. Please support the TRAILS program and enjoy a treat!

Food Services
Breakfast and Lunch Services
Every student can receive free meals in the 2024/25 school year!
Thanks to the Michigan School Meals Program, a state-funded program that allows all students to receive meals at no cost for the24/25 school year, breakfast and lunch will be free to all students.
Although all students can receive meals at no cost, it is still very important that you fill out a free/reduced meal application. Students and families may qualify for other program fee reductions based on their eligibility for free or reduced-price meals. Federal and state education funding uses free and reduced-price eligibility.
For assistance, please contact our Food Service Department at (248) 435-8500 ext. 1123.
Ordering Breakfast and Lunch
Lunch orders MUST be placed prior to 1st hour.
Blessings in a Backpack
“Blessings in a Backpack” is a program designed to provide students on the free and reduced lunch program with enough food for three meals a day during the weekends. If you agree to take part in this program during the school year, your child will receive a bag filled with food for the weekend.
For assistance, please contact our Food Service Department at (248) 435-8500 ext. 1123.
