Coyote Update

January

I am hoping that you all had a wonderful and relaxing break with family and friends. The staff and I are so excited to see everyone's smiling faces tomorrow.

CEC proudly graduated 12 seniors this past December. We are so excited for all of them and their futures. We will be welcoming in nine new students tomorrow and are looking forward to them joining our family.

Yearbook Club

Yearbook is looking for pictures of our students.

1. Students doing all of their cool things outside of CEC. Are you in a band? Play a club sport? Volunteer?

2. Seniors make sure to get your senior photos in as soon as possible.

3. Students doing silly, but appropriate things.

We'd love to see it!

Please email pictures directly to Ms. Ramirez at ramirez.cassandra@cusd80.com.

Seniors! It's not too early to start thinking about Senior Quotes and Pictures. Your quote is due before winter break and should be inspirational and be seen as an opportunity to provide words of encouragement to the classes that will follow you. Some guidelines:

• Nothing that could be considered offensive, questionable, or inappropriate for a school setting
• No language that denigrates another person’s character, ethnicity, religious/political beliefs, sexuality, gender, physical or mental ability, etc.
• No derogatory comments about the school, students, faculty, or staff members
• No special characters/emoji

PRESALE ORDERS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON.

Parents of Seniors – CEF Scholarship Applications Open January 6!

The Chandler Education Foundation (CEF) offers more than 200 scholarship awards for CUSD graduating seniors.

The CEF scholarship Application portal will open Monday, January 6, and the deadline to submit is Monday, March 24. This includes the application form, essays, and all required documents for the IMPACT, Donor, and Foundation scholarships.

Winter break is a great time for students to get ahead! If they haven’t already, encourage your student to:

• Gather references (contact info and permission) from teachers, coaches, or mentors.

• Create a list of activities, awards, and leadership roles in school or the community.

• Outline their future goals for college or career and plans to achieve them.

• Include any special considerations evaluators should know.

Taking time over the break, away from classes and homework, can make their application stronger and improve their chances of earning a financial award.

Be sure to follow the Chandler Education Foundation on Facebook and Instagram for updates and reminders.

It is that time of the year again when the sniffles begin. If you can donate tissues, we will gladly accept them. We are down to 1 box. Thank you in advance.

Infinite Campus Parent/Student Login

I have printed out a paper version of the OLR and gave it to your child. Please fill it out and return it to the front office. If you choose to do it online, please log into your Infinite Campus account and update your annual student registration (OLR). You will find this option in the left index under "More". Updating this annually is extremely important so we have current information on your household. This is also where you can agree or disagree for publicity, internet access and most importantly providing your child with Tylenol should they become ill. Please DO NOT start a New Student registration.

We have 39 students who do not have an updated OLR. If you need help resetting your password, please call the front office at 480.224.3060.

Under "More" you will also need to update the Student Device Agreement. This is currently available for you to complete and must be done on a laptop or PC. Do not use your mobile device to complete this agreement.

School starts promptly at 7:30 AM. It is important for all students to arrive on time and be prepared for class. CEC works on a 9-week semester and curriculum moves quickly.

Excused Absences

• A parent or legal guardian is asked to call the attendance office within 24 hours of the absence to officially excuse students from school or particular periods of classes during the day. Please call our attendance line at 480.224.3067.
• Students arriving late or leaving early must sign in/out at the front office and have a parent or legal guardian call the front desk to excuse at 480.224.3060.
• No student will be permitted to leave campus without parent verification.
• Students are responsible for making arrangements to make up time missed, as that impacts student progress here at CEC more than any other factor. Please make sure to check Google classroom.

Unexcused Absences are considered truancies. the parent is notified whenever a student is absent. Work cannot be made-up for credit on unexcused absences.

Tardy to Class

• Students are expected to be seated in their classrooms ready to begin class work at the start of each period.
• A tardy is defined as "not being in an assigned seat at the minute".
• Student's who have habitual tardies may be dropped from their class. If tardies are in first hour, student's schedules may be changed to add to a class later in the day.
• If your child is tardy, please call the front office to excuse them.

Consequences for Absences

• After 4 absences (excluding documented illness) per quarter, the student will be place on an attendance contract. This is their first warning.
• After 8 absences per quarter, student will be issued a second warning that they can be dropped from their in-person class.
• After 10 absences, family will receive a 10-Day Attendance Letter (10 consecutive absences, the state requires schools to automatically withdraw the student, please make sure to be in contact with Mrs. Scaringelli or Mrs. King)
• After 12 absences, students will have received their final warning
• 13 absences is considered missing 1/3 of the curriculum. In-person classes will be dropped and student's will be placed in a lift lab equivalent.

• After 18 absences, family will receive a 18-Day Attendance Letter
• After 10 Consecutive Absences per semester, the state requires schools to automatically withdraw the student.

*Tutoring can be scheduled through all teachers.*

Students should contact them directly to arrange a time that works for everyone.
